Opportunity Summary:
The Modeling the Scientific Workforce (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-GM-11-007) is a discretionary NIH grant announcement released by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). Its main goal is to fund projects that build computational models describing how the scientific workforce in the United States changes over time. In practical terms, the FOA is looking for modeling efforts that can capture and explore the dynamics of the research labor force, such as how people enter, move through, and exit scientific career pathways, and how different policy or funding scenarios might affect those patterns.
A central emphasis of the announcement is usefulness for decision-making. The models are intended to help NIH and related stakeholders strengthen program development and program management by providing a way to test assumptions and forecast potential outcomes before changes are implemented. The FOA also highlights that these models should do more than simply summarize existing trends: they should help identify important unanswered questions about the workforce that require additional study, and they should guide what data should be collected or analyzed next in order to answer those questions more reliably. In other words, the modeling work is meant to be tightly connected to real planning needs and to improving the evidence base around workforce policy.
This funding uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which generally means that the NIH expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period compared with a standard research project grant. While the summary text does not spell out the day-to-day structure of that involvement, applicants should typically anticipate ongoing coordination with NIH program staff, potential collaboration around goals and deliverables, and an expectation that the work will remain aligned with the agency's workforce modeling priorities.
The announcement projected a total of $1,000,000 in estimated funding (total costs) to support up to three awards. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and the FOA anticipated making three grants overall. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and also certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Governmental entities such as state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments are included, as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The FOA also explicitly calls out additional eligible categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. This wide eligibility reflects an interest in drawing on expertise from multiple sectors, including academic researchers, policy and data organizations, and potentially industry groups with strong modeling capacity.
Key administrative details: the FOA was posted on August 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of November 4, 2010, and an archive date of December 5, 2010. The activity category is listed under health, consistent with NIH's mission, and the CFDA number associated with this program is 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site at the provided link, and NIH offered standard technical support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
