Opportunity Summary:
PAR-12-154, titled "Limited Competition Revisions to Existing NIMH Supported Cooperative Agreement Awards (U01)," is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) that supports revision applications to projects that are already funded as NIMH cooperative agreements under the U01 activity code. In practical terms, this is not a call for brand-new, stand-alone projects. It is a mechanism for current NIMH U01 award recipients to request additional support or to modify and expand the scope of work within an existing cooperative agreement, using the NIH revision application pathway. Because U01 awards are cooperative agreements, NIMH staff typically have substantial scientific or programmatic involvement during the life of the project, and revisions would be considered within that collaborative framework rather than as completely investigator-driven add-ons.
The opportunity is described as a limited competition, meaning eligibility is restricted rather than broadly open to all applicants. The intent is to limit submissions to investigators and institutions that already hold qualifying NIMH-supported U01 cooperative agreement awards and are seeking to revise those active projects. The eligibility details also clarify that foreign participation is allowed: non-U.S. organizations and institutions may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are permitted. This matters for U01 projects with international sites, collaborations, or data collection components, because it signals that NIMH is not restricting revisions solely to domestic entities as long as the underlying eligibility conditions are met.
Administratively, the FOA is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the cooperative agreement instrument type, with the activity category listed as health. The associated CFDA number is 93.242, Mental Health Research Grants, which is the standard federal assistance listing for many NIMH research programs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of receiving an award under this announcement. The posting date and creation date are both April 6, 2012. The original and current closing dates are September 7, 2013, and the archive date is October 8, 2013, indicating the announcement is no longer active but remains available as a historical reference for the program parameters and requirements that were in place during that period.
From an applicant standpoint, the main takeaway is that this FOA was designed to support targeted changes to an ongoing NIMH U01 cooperative agreement project through a formal revision request. Typical reasons agencies issue these kinds of revision opportunities include enabling additional aims, adding new cohorts or sites, extending or enhancing data collection, incorporating new methods or measures, responding to emerging scientific needs, or otherwise increasing the project’s impact while staying aligned with the original goals and NIMH priorities. The exact allowable scope and application instructions would be defined in the full announcement, but at a high level it is a pathway for existing awardees to propose a justified expansion or modification, with NIMH involvement consistent with a cooperative agreement.
For access and technical issues, the listing provides an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page for PAR-12-154 and directs applicants to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV) for help if they cannot access the announcement or have trouble linking to it.
