Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity announcement PA-07-300, titled "Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis - Early Identification and Mechanisms of Disease (R01)," supports research aimed at improving how hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is recognized early and how its underlying immune-driven disease processes begin and progress. The core goal is to push the field beyond late-stage detection and toward earlier diagnosis, clearer disease classification, and a more complete understanding of the immune mechanisms involved in HP cause and pathogenesis. In practical terms, the opportunity is focused on studies that can clarify what triggers HP in different settings, how immune responses evolve over time, and what biological signals might help identify disease sooner, when interventions may be more effective.
This announcement uses the NIH R01 grant mechanism, which is the standard, full-scale research project format designed to support hypothesis-driven, investigator-initiated work. The FOA also notes that R01 funding can cover a range of project types, including pilot and feasibility efforts, small and self-contained projects, and work that develops or refines research technologies relevant to HP. That means the opportunity is not limited to one narrow study design; it can support foundational mechanistic immunology, translational studies connecting exposures to biological responses, and method or tool development that helps the community study HP more accurately and efficiently.
The eligibility criteria are broad and include many kinds of domestic and international organizations. Eligible applicants include public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. Government entities at multiple levels may apply, including state governments, U.S. territories or possessions, city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal governments, and tribally designated organizations. In addition, foreign (non-U.S.) institutions are eligible, and eligible federal agencies may apply. Faith-based and community-based organizations are also listed as eligible, reflecting NIH's willingness to consider a wide range of applicants where the scientific environment and project plan are strong.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health research category, listed under CFDA 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to secure the award. The opportunity was posted on January 17, 2007, and it used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, with applicants directed to the full announcement for the specific submission schedule. The archive date is December 6, 2009, which indicates the FOA is no longer active in its original form, but it remains useful as a reference point for the kinds of projects NIH has sought to fund in HP research.
