Opportunity Summary:
The Innovative Measurement Tools for Community Engaged Research Efforts (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-209) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement led by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Its central purpose is to support the development of new or improved measurement tools specifically designed for community-engaged research. In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening the ways researchers and community partners assess, document, and understand community engagement processes and outcomes, so that studies built around real-world community participation can be evaluated with tools that are credible, sensitive, and appropriate for the settings in which they are used.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity using the NIH R01 research project grant mechanism, which generally supports well-scoped, hypothesis- or framework-driven research and development projects. The funding activity area is tied to education and health, and it falls under CFDA 93.361 (Nursing Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The announcement was posted and created on April 24, 2013. The original and final closing date listed is September 7, 2016, and the opportunity was archived on October 8, 2016. That timeline matters mainly for historical reference and for understanding that the particular posting is no longer open, but it also signals the period when NINR was actively soliciting R01 applications in this specific measurement-development niche.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations that commonly participate in or support community-engaged health research. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as special district governments and independent school districts. Higher education institutions are eligible in both public/state-controlled and private categories. The announcement also allows applications from nonprofits, including both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that latter category). Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities are eligible, as are small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, reflecting NIH's willingness to fund tool development across academic, public-sector, community, and commercial settings when the work fits the scientific goals.
The FOA explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant types that are especially relevant to community engagement and health equity efforts, such as faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal government agencies. It also calls out a number of institution types that serve populations historically underrepresented in research leadership, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Native American tribal governments are included, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities. At the same time, the program restricts applications to domestic entities: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed, which keeps the funded work fully within U.S. organizational and operational boundaries.
Operationally, the announcement points applicants to the full text on the NIH Grants Guide and notes that technical issues accessing the announcement can be directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster email contacts provided. The takeaway is that NINR used this R01 call to push the field toward better, more innovative measurement approaches for community-engaged research, with wide eligibility across U.S. academic, governmental, nonprofit, tribal, and certain business organizations, and with standard NIH administrative expectations but no matching-funds requirement.
