Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute on Aging (part of the National Institutes of Health) issued this funding opportunity, PAR-11-175, to support the creation or operation of an Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Data Warehouse through a U24 cooperative agreement. The focus is not on conducting a single new genetics study, but on building and maintaining the kind of shared research infrastructure that makes large-scale Alzheimer's genetics work easier, more consistent, and more powerful across the field. In practical terms, the warehouse is meant to support the storage, management, and analysis of both primary and secondary data related to the genetics of Alzheimer's disease, so that data produced by different projects can be brought together, curated, and used efficiently by researchers.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary grants category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which usually signals that NIH expects substantial programmatic involvement during the award. While the application would come from an awardee institution, the cooperative structure generally means NIH staff are likely to coordinate closely on priorities, deliverables, data-sharing expectations, and governance. The activity category is health, and the relevant CFDA number listed is 93.866 (Aging Research). The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding level of $500,000, and it explicitly noted that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The eligible applicant pool was broad and included many types of U.S.-based organizations: state, county, city, township, and special district governments; federally recognized and other Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private higher education institutions; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as small businesses. The eligibility language also highlighted additional eligible entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign organizations were not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations were not allowed.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on March 23, 2011, with an original closing date of September 7, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of January 7, 2013. It was archived on February 7, 2013, indicating that it is no longer active for submission. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants system at the provided link (the NIH Grants Guide posting for PAR-11-175). For technical issues accessing the notice or linking to the announcement, the contact point provided was the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Overall, this RFA targeted a single, centralized infrastructure award intended to strengthen Alzheimer's disease genetics research by enabling better data warehousing and analytic capability for genetics datasets. The core idea is to support a shared platform that can reliably store and organize genetics-related data and help researchers analyze and reuse those data, improving consistency, accessibility, and scientific value across Alzheimer's genetics efforts.
