Opportunity Summary:
Limited Competition NIMHD Revision Applications to Support Environmental Health Disparities Research (P20) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity issued by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to add or expand environmental health disparities research within existing, eligible P20 programs through a revision application mechanism. The core purpose is to support research projects focused on U.S. communities where certain populations experience disproportionately high and harmful health outcomes or environmental burdens. The opportunity frames "environmental health disparities" broadly, emphasizing that unequal exposures and unequal health impacts can be driven by a mix of determinants, including social and psychosocial conditions, economic constraints, and physical, chemical, and biological factors in the environment. In practical terms, the announcement is designed to stimulate research that connects real-world community conditions and exposures to unequal health outcomes, with an explicit focus on disparities affecting populations across the United States.
This funding opportunity is identified as RFA-MD-11-007 and uses the grant funding instrument under the health activity category. NIMHD anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $2.5 million. The award ceiling listed is $350,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The posting date was June 2, 2011, and the application closing date was August 3, 2011 (with the same date shown as both original and current closing), after which the opportunity was archived on September 3, 2011.
Eligibility is centered on institutions positioned to conduct community-relevant research, especially those serving populations that are often central to health disparities work. Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with other entities as clarified in the announcement. Specifically named eligible categories include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and eligible federal agencies. The notice also makes clear restrictions on foreign participation: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, keeping the work and administering institutions firmly U.S.-based.
The announcement is connected to CFDA numbers 66.509 (Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program) and 93.307 (Minority Health and Health Disparities Research), reflecting the intersection of environmental research and minority health disparities priorities. The central theme across the description is that unequal environmental conditions and exposures can compound with social and economic pressures, producing patterns of adverse outcomes that fall more heavily on certain racial and ethnic minority groups, low-income communities, and other underserved populations. The opportunity therefore supports research that examines these layered determinants and aims to generate evidence relevant to reducing inequities in environmental exposures and related health outcomes.
For applicants and the public seeking the complete official instructions and requirements, the full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website at the provided link (RFA-MD-11-007). The notice also includes support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or technical issues related to the announcement.
