Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (PA 12-170) is a National Institutes of Health program announcement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) focused on revision requests to existing, active NIH-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) that are supported through the P50 mechanism. In practical terms, it is not a standalone center grant for creating a new ADC from scratch. Instead, it is designed for institutions that already hold an active NIA-supported ADC P50 award and want to expand what their current center is doing by adding a clearly defined new component.
The central purpose is to allow an existing ADC to broaden its scientific or infrastructure scope through a "Revision application" (what NIH previously referred to as a competing supplement). The key expectation is that the revision will propose something additive and concrete, typically the creation of a new core or a new research project that becomes part of the overall ADC structure. This could include a new shared resource core that supports investigators across the center, or a new research project that addresses an emerging need or opportunity within Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The revision is meant to enhance the parent center award rather than replace or extend it, so the new work should be integrated into the established goals and operations of the active ADC.
A major constraint is the project period: revision applications cannot request support beyond the end date of the parent P50 award. That means the revision funding must fit within the remaining time left on the existing center grant, and applicants should plan the proposed core or project with a timeline and milestones that are realistic given the parent award's end date. This limitation also implies that revisions are best used for targeted expansions that can be launched and produce measurable value within that remaining window.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument. The funding activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award, although standard NIH budgeting rules and institutional commitments would still apply.
Eligibility is broad in the sense that many types of U.S.-based organizations are listed as eligible applicants, including state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and other for-profit entities. The eligibility information also explicitly includes certain institution types and community-serving entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions, as well as eligible federal agencies. However, despite this broad listing, the practical eligibility is constrained by the program's intent: the applicant must have an ongoing, active NIA-supported Alzheimer's Disease Center (P50) award to submit a revision to that parent grant.
Foreign participation is clearly restricted. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. In other words, the work and organizational structure supported under this revision must remain entirely within allowable domestic parameters.
Key dates provided in the source data include a posted date of April 20, 2012, with an original closing date of May 7, 2015. The record also shows administrative dates indicating the opportunity was archived (archive date September 23, 2013) and lists a "current closing date" of August 23, 2013, which suggests the listing was captured in a way that reflects a specific snapshot in time; applicants would normally verify the most authoritative dates and instructions in the full announcement on the NIH Grants Guide. The full program announcement is linked at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-170.html
For support with access or technical issues related to the announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), specifically for difficulties accessing the announcement electronically or problems linking to the funding notice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for strengthening an already-funded NIA Alzheimer's Disease Center by adding a new, well-justified core or project that expands capacity, scope, or scientific reach, without changing the fundamental requirement that the work remain within the approved timeframe of the existing P50 award.
FAQs: NIH NIA Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC) P50 Revision Requests (PA-12-170)
What is PA-12-170?
PA-12-170 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) program announcement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). It focuses on revision requests to existing, active NIH-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) supported through the P50 mechanism.
Is this a grant to create a brand-new Alzheimer's Disease Center?
No. This opportunity is not intended to fund the creation of a new ADC from scratch. It is designed for institutions that already have an active NIA-supported ADC P50 award and want to expand their current center by adding a clearly defined new component.
What type of application does this opportunity support?
It supports a "Revision application" (previously referred to by NIH as a competing supplement). The revision is meant to add new work to an existing, active ADC P50 award.
What is the main purpose of the revision?
The central purpose is to allow an existing ADC to broaden its scientific or infrastructure scope by proposing an additive and concrete expansion that becomes part of the overall ADC structure.
What kinds of additions are expected in a revision application?
The key expectation is that the revision proposes something new and clearly defined, typically:
- The creation of a new core (for example, a shared resource core that supports investigators across the center), or
- The creation of a new research project that addresses an emerging need or opportunity within Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Does the revision replace or extend the parent ADC award?
No. The revision is meant to enhance the parent center award rather than replace it or extend it. The new work should be integrated into the established goals and operations of the active ADC.
How long can the revision project period be?
Revision applications cannot request support beyond the end date of the parent P50 award. The revision funding must fit within the remaining time left on the existing center grant.
What does the parent award end-date restriction mean in practice?
It means applicants should plan the proposed new core or project with a timeline and milestones that are realistic and achievable within the remaining period of the active P50 award. Revisions are best suited for targeted expansions that can be launched and produce measurable value before the parent award ends.
What is the funding type and activity area for this opportunity?
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument. The funding activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research).
Is cost sharing or matching required?

Yes. The eligibility information explicitly includes entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies.
Even if an organization type is listed as eligible, is there an additional practical eligibility requirement?
Yes. Despite the broad eligibility listing, the practical eligibility is constrained by the intent of the program: the applicant must already have an ongoing, active NIA-supported Alzheimer's Disease Center (P50) award to submit a revision to that parent grant.
Are foreign organizations allowed to apply?
No. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply under this opportunity.
Can a U.S. organization include a non-U.S. component?
No. Non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. The work and organizational structure supported under this revision must remain within allowable domestic parameters.
What are the key dates mentioned in the listing?
The source data notes a posted date of April 20, 2012, and an original closing date of May 7, 2015. It also shows an archive date of September 23, 2013, and lists a "current closing date" of August 23, 2013, indicating the listing may reflect a snapshot in time.
Why do the dates look inconsistent (original closing date vs. current closing date vs. archive date)?
The record includes multiple administrative dates (including an archive date) and a "current closing date" that may reflect how the opportunity was captured or updated at a specific time. Applicants would typically verify the most authoritative dates and instructions in the full announcement.
