Opportunity Summary:
This NIH grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-332) supports exploratory and early-stage research under the R21 mechanism focused on mobile health (mHealth) tools for people living in underserved communities. The program is jointly issued by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and the Office of Dietary Supplements, and it targets practical ways that phones and related mobile technologies can be used to strengthen patient-provider communication, improve adherence to prescribed treatments, and support day-to-day self-management of chronic diseases. The core idea is that modern cellular coverage and smartphone capabilities make it realistic and relatively low-cost to send health information from patients in remote or resource-limited settings to clinicians and specialists elsewhere, get timely feedback, and store those interactions in a way that supports ongoing care.
The opportunity emphasizes that mHealth tools can do more than simply transmit data. It highlights interventions that use mobile technology for education and coaching, clearer goal-setting between patients and clinicians, reminders that help patients follow care plans, and feedback loops that show patients how they are doing over time. By making communication more immediate and structured, mHealth approaches may help reduce delays in care, make treatment plans easier to follow, and ultimately improve health outcomes in populations that often face barriers such as limited local specialty care, transportation challenges, and reduced access to health information and support services. The announcement also encourages studies that do not just build new tools, but also test them and compare their effectiveness, reflecting an interest in evidence that can guide future implementation and scale-up.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant, with an award ceiling listed at $200,000. The announcement is categorized within health and education-related activities and references CFDA numbers 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which can lower the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S. organizations and governments, such as state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), public housing authorities including Indian housing authorities, and tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility section further notes inclusion of a wide range of community- and minority-serving institutions and groups, such as faith-based or community-based organizations, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and regional organizations. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined under NIH policy, which opens the door for international or cross-border work when it fits the public health purpose of the program.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 2, 2011, and later created in the system on April 18, 2014. The listing shows an original closing date of September 7, 2014, a current closing date of April 21, 2014, and an archive date of May 21, 2014, indicating the announcement is now archived and was time-limited in its application window.
