Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (PAR 10-284) is a National Institutes of Health announcement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) focused on revision requests for active NIA-supported Program Project Grants (P01). It is designed for organizations that already hold an ongoing NIA P01 award and want to expand what that funded program project is doing. In practical terms, NIA is inviting applications that propose a meaningful scientific expansion of the current P01, either by enlarging the scope of an existing subproject within the program project or by adding one or more new subprojects. These applications were formerly referred to as "competing supplements," and the key idea is that the proposed work should go beyond what was originally approved and funded under the parent award, while still fitting within the broader goals and structure of the existing P01.
A central constraint is that any revision award cannot extend beyond the end date of the parent P01. That means applicants must plan the added or expanded work to fit within the remaining project period of the existing grant. This is an important budgeting and project-management reality for applicants because it affects staffing plans, study timelines, and deliverables. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument, with the funding activity aligned to health research. The associated CFDA number is 93.866 (Aging Research), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is broad in terms of institution type, but narrow in the sense that the applicant must be positioned to submit a revision to an active NIA P01. The announcement lists a wide range of eligible applicant organizations, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and multiple layers of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts. It also explicitly includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized governments), tribally controlled colleges and universities, and other mission-focused institutions and community-based entities. Additional categories called out include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), eligible federal agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. In effect, NIA is signaling that many types of organizations can be eligible if they are the recipient (or otherwise eligible applicant) tied to an active NIA P01 and can carry out the proposed expanded research effort.
From a programmatic standpoint, the purpose is to strengthen and broaden ongoing program project research supported by NIA rather than start an entirely separate, unrelated project. Program Project Grants (P01s) typically support multi-component research efforts with several interrelated projects under a unifying theme, often with shared cores or resources. A revision request under this opportunity is therefore meant to add value to that existing framework, for example by introducing a new research component that complements the current projects, expanding an existing component to pursue additional aims, incorporate new methods, or extend a dataset, or otherwise deepen the scientific output of the overall P01. Because it is tied to an ongoing award, the revision should make sense within the established leadership, infrastructure, and scientific direction of the parent grant.
Key administrative details from the source record include that the opportunity was posted on September 20, 2010, and the archived record indicates an original closing date of September 7, 2013, with an archive date of September 10, 2013. The listing references an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page for PAR 10-284 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-284.html). For access or technical issues related to the electronic announcement, the contact provided is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, including support for difficulties viewing the full announcement or problems linking to the funding notice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for current NIA P01 awardees to competitively request additional support to broaden the scientific scope of their already-funded program project, by expanding existing subprojects or adding new ones, while staying within the remaining time period of the parent award and without any cost-sharing requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is PAR 10-284?
PAR 10-284 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) that supports revision requests to active, NIA-supported Program Project Grants (P01). It is intended for organizations that already have an ongoing NIA P01 award and want to competitively request support to expand the scope of that funded program project.
What type of grant action does this opportunity support?
This opportunity supports revision applications to an existing NIA-funded P01. These were formerly referred to as "competing supplements." The key feature is that the proposed work must go beyond what was originally approved and funded under the parent award, while still fitting within the overall goals and structure of the existing P01.
Who is this funding opportunity designed for?
It is designed for current NIA P01 awardees (organizations holding an active NIA-supported P01) seeking to expand what their funded program project is doing. Eligibility is broad across organization types, but the applicant must be positioned to submit a revision tied to an active NIA P01.
What kinds of scientific expansions are allowed under a revision request?
NIA invites applications that propose a meaningful scientific expansion of the current P01 by either (1) enlarging the scope of an existing subproject within the program project or (2) adding one or more new subprojects. The expansion should strengthen and broaden the ongoing NIA-supported program project research rather than create an entirely separate, unrelated project.
Can the revision add new subprojects to the existing P01?
Yes. One of the explicitly described options is adding one or more new subprojects, as long as the additions make sense within the broader goals and structure of the existing P01.
Can the revision expand an existing subproject within the P01?
Yes. The announcement specifically allows enlarging the scope of an existing subproject, which could include pursuing additional aims, incorporating new methods, extending a dataset, or otherwise deepening the scientific output of that component.
Does the proposed revision work need to stay aligned with the parent P01?
Yes. The revision must fit within the broader goals and structure of the existing P01 and should leverage the established leadership, infrastructure, and scientific direction of the parent grant.
Can the revision request extend the end date of the parent P01?
No. A central constraint is that a revision award cannot extend beyond the end date of the parent P01. Applicants must plan any added or expanded work so it can be completed within the remaining project period of the existing award.
Why does the parent P01 end date matter for planning the revision?
Because the revision cannot extend beyond the parent award end date, the remaining project period directly affects feasibility. This influences practical considerations such as staffing plans, study timelines, and deliverables for the added or expanded work.
What is the funding instrument and general activity area?
The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument. The funding activity is aligned to health research, with a focus on strengthening and broadening ongoing NIA-supported program project research.
Is this opportunity discretionary?
Yes. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary.
What is the CFDA number associated with this opportunity?
The associated CFDA number is 93.866, labeled Aging Research.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
What types of organizations are eligible to apply (assuming they have an active NIA P01)?
The announcement lists many eligible applicant organization types, including:
- Public and private institutions of higher education
- Nonprofits, including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities
- For-profit organizations (other than small businesses)
- Small businesses
- State, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts
- Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized governments)
- Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities

- Hispanic-serving Institutions
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
- Eligible federal agencies
- Faith-based or community-based organizations
- Regional organizations
- U.S. territories or possessions
- Other mission-focused institutions and community-based entities
Are for-profit organizations allowed to apply?
Yes. The eligibility list explicitly includes for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and also includes small businesses, provided the applicant is tied to an active NIA P01 and can carry out the proposed expanded research effort.
Are tribal governments and tribal organizations eligible?
Yes. The announcement explicitly includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized governments), as well as Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities.
Are institutions serving specific populations included as eligible applicants?
Yes. The announcement explicitly calls out Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), among other categories, as eligible organization types (in the context of being able to submit a revision to an active NIA P01).
Does this opportunity support starting a brand-new, unrelated research project?
No. The purpose is to strengthen and broaden ongoing program project research supported by NIA rather than start a separate, unrelated project. The revision should add value to the existing P01 framework.
How does this relate to the structure of a typical P01?
P01s generally support multi-component research efforts with several interrelated projects under a unifying theme, often with shared cores or resources. A revision request is intended to enhance that existing framework by expanding an existing component or adding complementary new components.
When was this opportunity posted and when did it close (per the record provided)?
The opportunity was posted on September 20, 2010. The archived record indicates an original closing date of September 7, 2013, and an archive date of September 10, 2013.
