Opportunity Summary:
The Innovative Research in HIV in Kidney, Urology and Hematology (R01) funding opportunity (RFA-DK-14-020) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program run through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), specifically its Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases (KUH/NIDDK). It supports R01 Research Project Grant applications that propose innovative research on HIV infection, HIV treatment, and the long-term health effects (sequelae) of HIV as they relate to kidney disease, urologic conditions, and hematologic (blood-related) diseases. In practical terms, the focus is on both basic and clinical research that can improve understanding of how HIV and its therapies affect these organ systems and disease areas that fall within KUH/NIDDKs mission.
This opportunity was posted on October 3, 2014, with an application deadline (original and final) of April 9, 2015, and it was archived on May 10, 2015. The estimated total funding level listed for the announcement is $2,600,000, and the stated award ceiling is $500,000. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to provide a defined percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award under this FOA.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and spans academic, nonprofit, governmental, and some for-profit organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and for-profit entities other than small businesses. Government entities are also eligible, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. Tribal entities are included as well, such as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, along with tribally controlled colleges and universities.
The eligibility section further highlights a range of institution types and communities that can apply or be included, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. A key limitation is that non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply directly, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. However, foreign components, as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed, meaning a U.S.-based applicant could potentially include certain international elements when justified and compliant with NIH policy.
Overall, this FOA is aimed at pushing forward creative, high-impact R01 projects that connect HIV science to kidney, urologic, and hematologic health, spanning fundamental mechanisms through clinical implications and longer-term outcomes. The official full announcement and details were provided through the NIH grants guide link associated with RFA-DK-14-020, and technical access issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts listed in the notice.
