Opportunity Summary:
The Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program (Si2/R00), funding opportunity number PAR-15-189, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant designed to help launch the careers of early-stage, independent clinical researchers. The core purpose of the program is to provide strong support for research activities at a formative point when clinician-scientists are building momentum as independent investigators. In practice, this kind of program is meant to bridge the gap between mentored training and full independence by giving promising clinical researchers the resources and structure to establish a focused research direction, generate publishable results, and compete successfully for longer-term research support.
This opportunity uses the NIH grant funding instrument and is tied to an activity category spanning education and health-related research areas, reflecting its emphasis on developing the clinical research workforce while enabling high-impact biomedical studies. The announcement lists an expected total of about five awards, indicating a competitive program with a limited number of funded slots. The program aligns with a broad range of NIH mission areas, as reflected by the multiple CFDA numbers included in the source information. These CFDA listings cover major research domains such as environmental health, genomics, sleep disorders, mental health, nursing research, and many disease-focused areas including cancer, cardiovascular disease, lung and blood diseases, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes and kidney disease, neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, child health and human development, and vision research. The breadth of these CFDA numbers signals that the program is not limited to a single institute or disease area; instead, it is positioned to support clinical research across many NIH-relevant topics, provided the project fits NIH priorities and the applicant meets the program’s intent of supporting early independent clinical investigators.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations that commonly apply for federal research funding. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and multiple levels of government (city/township, county, state, special districts, and independent school districts). The opportunity also explicitly includes certain mission-driven and community-oriented institution types and designations, such as 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), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and regional organizations. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy for this program. That means foreign institutions, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, and other foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement cannot be part of the application structure.
The posting and timing details show that the FOA was posted and created on April 28, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2015, and an archive date of September 27, 2015. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is important for applicants because it indicates the award does not require the institution to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of funding, beyond any standard NIH expectations around allowable costs and institutional support.
For official details, NIH provided an additional information link to the full announcement on the NIH grants site (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-189.html).
