Opportunity Summary:
The Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers 2010 (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-09-012) is a National Institutes of Health grant run through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Its main goal is to strengthen and expand institutional research capacity focused on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), with an emphasis on improving diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and overall reduction of the impacts of IDD. Rather than paying for a single research project, the program is built to fund shared infrastructure, meaning the kinds of core resources that make a strong, sustained, and collaborative IDD research program possible across many investigators and disciplines.
This is a Center Core Grant using the NIH P30 mechanism, which is specifically meant to support centralized "cores" that multiple research teams can use. In practice, that typically means the award is intended to cover the personnel, facilities, services, and coordination needed to operate shared research and training resources such as specialized laboratories, clinical or community research support, data management and statistics support, imaging or other technical platforms, participant recruitment resources, and administrative leadership that ties the center together. A key point in the announcement is that the P30 dollars are meant to support the core facilities themselves, while the individual research projects that rely on those cores are expected to be funded separately through other sources, including federal, state, and private funding streams. In other words, NICHD is investing in the backbone and shared capabilities that allow a larger portfolio of independently funded IDD studies to operate more effectively and collaboratively.
The announcement also stresses interdisciplinary research and research training. That signals that NICHD is looking for centers that bring together multiple fields (for example, basic science, clinical research, behavioral science, public health, education, and community-based approaches) and that can use shared resources to train researchers in IDD-focused methods and collaboration. The overall expectation is that a funded center will elevate the quality, scale, and coordination of IDD research at the applicant institution and among its partners, helping investigators do work that would be difficult, inefficient, or too expensive without centralized core support.
From a funding standpoint, NICHD expected a total of about $3,230,000 in FY 2010 for this program and anticipated making three awards. The listed award ceiling is $750,000, indicating the maximum expected amount per award under the FOA. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, although institutions often still demonstrate commitment through space, leadership support, or complementary investments.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on December 3, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 24, 2010, and an archive date of February 24, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), and the activity category is listed under Health, Income Security, and Social Services. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, and a wide range of nonprofit and for-profit organizations (with the for-profit category excluding small businesses, per the listing). Eligible nonprofit categories include both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories. The FOA also explicitly notes additional eligible applicants such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Overall, the eligibility language is designed to allow many types of institutions with a serious IDD research base to compete, including organizations that serve or are embedded in diverse communities.
