Opportunity Summary:
The International Extramural Associates Research Development Awards (IEARDA) (G11) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to strengthen research administration capacity in settings where resources are limited. The central aim is to develop a trained group of academic research administrators who can help their institutions build or improve the administrative systems needed to run a more rigorous, well-managed research program. In practice, the program is focused less on funding scientific experiments directly and more on improving the people, processes, and offices that support research, such as the ability to apply for grants properly, manage awards after funding, and ensure compliance with NIH requirements.
The purpose of IEARDA is twofold. First, it provides structured training in NIH policies, expectations, and grants administration practices through a combination of distance learning and an NIH residency experience. This training is meant to produce research administrators who understand how NIH funding works from application through closeout, including the administrative and oversight responsibilities that come with managing extramural awards. Second, the award provides funding that institutions can use to augment or expand their existing research administrative infrastructure, such as an Office of Research or Office of Sponsored Projects. The expectation is that the strengthened office will be able to provide hands-on support to faculty pursuing external funding, serve as the institutional hub for developing and submitting competitive grant proposals, and deliver consistent post-award oversight and management to keep funded projects on track and compliant. Over time, this kind of administrative backbone is intended to make research programs more sustainable and to increase an institution's ability to compete for and successfully manage additional grants.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant using the Extramural Associates Research Development Award (G11) mechanism. It falls under the health-related activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means institutions are not required to contribute a formal matching amount as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Foreign institutions are eligible, but the announcement particularly targets foreign public or private institutions located in India and sub-Saharan Africa that already have active NIH research support. To qualify, an institution must currently be receiving NIH funding either directly or through participation as a subproject under a U.S. domestic award. In addition, the institution must be the recipient of at least three NIH awards (examples listed include D43, R01, R03, R21, U01, among others). The institution must also already have some level of research administrative infrastructure in place, such as an Office of Research or Office of Sponsored Projects, because the grant is intended to build on existing capacity rather than create an office from scratch. A further requirement is adequate electronic connectivity and internet access to support NIH electronic grant submission and post-award administration, reflecting the practical need to operate within NIH's electronic systems and reporting processes.
Applications are submitted by eligible institutions that nominate full-time academic research administrators to participate, with the nominated administrator serving as the Principal Investigator (PI) on the IEARDA application. The emphasis on administrators as PIs highlights the program's workforce-development intent: it is designed to professionalize and empower the individuals responsible for institutional grants management so they can implement improved systems and provide leadership in research administration when they return to or continue in their home institutions.
Key administrative details for this specific posting include the funding opportunity number PAR-07-431, an original posted date of August 10, 2007, and multiple receipt dates with a last noted closing date of July 29, 2009 (archived August 29, 2009). The full announcement was available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-431.html, and support for access or linking issues is directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
