Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PA-06-224, titled "Information Technologies and the Internet in Health Services and Intervention Delivery (R21)," supports exploratory research on how health information technologies influence the way health services and interventions are delivered. The core idea is to encourage early-stage, innovative studies that test or examine the real-world effects of tools like internet-based platforms, digital communication systems, and other health IT approaches on both the delivery of health information and the delivery of clinical or behavioral interventions. Projects are expected to focus on impact, meaning applicants should be looking at outcomes tied to service delivery, intervention reach, effectiveness, quality, access, or related health system and patient-level results, rather than simply building a technology for its own sake.
This announcement uses the R21 grant mechanism, which is typically aimed at high-potential, preliminary, or proof-of-concept work where investigators may be piloting a new approach, generating early evidence, or exploring feasibility before pursuing a larger-scale study. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $200,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The program sits within NIH's broader research mission areas, with CFDA numbers that include 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) and 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), signaling that projects may be relevant across multiple health domains and are not limited to a single disease area.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a standard grant funding instrument. It was posted on March 9, 2006, and it accepted applications on multiple receipt dates, with applicants directed to the full announcement for the specific schedule and submission details. Although the record shows an archive date of June 1, 2009, the description captures the intent and scope of the program: to strengthen evidence about what happens when health systems, providers, patients, or communities use information technology and internet-based tools to deliver health-related information and interventions.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state, county, city/township, and special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility statement also notes that foreign institutions are eligible to apply and that eligible federal government agencies may also apply, which expands the applicant pool beyond typical domestic academic and nonprofit settings.
