Opportunity Summary:
The Limited Competition NIMHD Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Initiative in Reducing and Eliminating Health Disparities Dissemination Phase (R24) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity administered by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). It is designed as a continuation mechanism specifically for organizations that previously received NIMHD support under the CBPR Intervention Research Phase. In other words, this is not a broad open competition for new CBPR projects; it is a limited competition meant to help existing, earlier-phase CBPR intervention grantees move their proven work forward into wider real-world use.
The central purpose of the dissemination phase is to support implementation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions that have already shown promise in reducing health disparities. The FOA emphasizes the community based participatory research approach, meaning the work is expected to be done with communities as active partners rather than as passive recipients. The intent is to take interventions that were developed and tested in partnership with affected communities and help them spread more broadly, be adopted by additional settings or organizations, and be delivered in ways that remain culturally appropriate, feasible, and sustainable while continuing to address minority health and health disparities outcomes.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the NIH grant mechanism R24, which is commonly associated with resource-related research projects and activities that strengthen capacity, infrastructure, or dissemination and implementation efforts. The activity area is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.307 (Minority Health and Health Disparities Research). Importantly, the announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
From a funding standpoint, the FOA lists an estimated total funding amount of $12,000,000, with an award ceiling of $375,000. The announcement does not provide, in the excerpted material, a specific floor for awards, nor does it specify the exact number of awards anticipated, but the ceiling indicates the maximum size per award under this call. The overall funding level suggests support for multiple continuation projects, depending on the final award sizes and NIH program decisions.
Eligibility is broad across many domestic organization types, but it is still restricted in the sense that it is a limited competition tied to prior NIMHD CBPR Intervention Research Phase awardees. Eligible applicant categories include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and a range of governmental entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities are also listed as eligible. Tribal eligibility is included as well, covering Native American tribal organizations and federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
The FOA also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant types often central to health equity and community-engaged research, including faith-based and community-based organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and Indian/Native American tribal governments that are other than federally recognized. At the same time, the announcement is clear that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. This keeps the program fully domestic in terms of applicants and project components.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on August 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 10, 2012, and an archive date of November 10, 2012. Those dates indicate the FOA is historical and no longer open, but the structure and intent remain informative for understanding how NIMHD has supported phased CBPR efforts, moving from intervention development and testing into implementation and dissemination to achieve broader impact on health disparities.
For applicants and stakeholders, the practical takeaway is that NIMHD used this R24 dissemination phase to help mature CBPR interventions transition into broader delivery, supporting the spread of evidence-based practices that are grounded in community partnership and aimed directly at reducing and ultimately eliminating health disparities. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site, and technical access issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact listed in the notice.
