Morris K. Udall Parkinsons Disease Centers of Excellence (P50) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Morris K. Udall Parkinsons Disease Centers of Excellence (P50) opportunity, listed as Funding Opportunity Number PAR 06 058, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program in the health area designed to support specialized research centers focused on Parkinsons disease. It is issued as a Program Announcement with review (PAR), meaning applications are submitted under a defined announcement and are competitively peer reviewed according to NIH standards. The program is part of the NIH Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), and it centers on building and sustaining high-impact, collaborative research efforts under the Morris K. Udall Parkinsons Disease Centers of Excellence framework.

This opportunity uses the P50 Center Grant funding mechanism, which typically supports multi-project, interdisciplinary center structures rather than a single standalone research project. In practical terms, the program is aimed at enabling institutions to bring together investigators, resources, and shared scientific capabilities to accelerate progress in understanding Parkinsons disease and improving approaches that could ultimately benefit patients. While the listing provided does not spell out specific required aims or core components, the Udall Centers program is generally associated with coordinated, team-based research and the infrastructure needed to support that work (for example, shared resources, administrative coordination, and integrated scientific projects).

The award information in the listing indicates an Award Ceiling of 1,500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a formal cost share to be considered eligible for funding. The announcement was posted on Dec 2, 2008, with an original and current closing date of Jan 7, 2009, and it was archived on Feb 7, 2009. These dates indicate the specific historical window during which NIH accepted applications for this particular iteration of the announcement.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can carry out biomedical research. Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and state and county governments. The eligibility section also notes additional eligible applicants such as eligible agencies of the federal government, faith-based or community-based organizations, and tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs). This breadth reflects NIH practice of allowing a wide range of capable institutions to compete, as long as they can meet the scientific, administrative, and compliance requirements associated with NIH center grants.

For applicants or researchers looking for official details beyond the summary fields, the full announcement was provided through the NIH Grants Policy and Guidance site via the additional information link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-058.html). For access or technical issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, which is intended for troubleshooting access or linkage problems rather than programmatic scientific questions.
