Opportunity Summary:
The NEI Research Grant for Secondary Data Analysis (R21) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity from the National Eye Institute that supports exploratory, developmental research projects that rely on analyzing data that already exist. Rather than funding new data collection, this program is meant to help investigators make strong scientific use of established database resources, such as previously completed studies, registries, repositories, and other curated datasets relevant to vision and eye-health research (CFDA 93.867, Vision Research). A key requirement is that the proposed analyses can be related to the original study that generated the dataset, but they must be clearly distinct from the original data collection aims, meaning applicants need to show that they are not simply repeating the original project goals but instead asking new, meritorious questions that can be answered with the available data.
This opportunity uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) mechanism, which is generally intended for early-stage or higher-risk concepts where a limited amount of time and funding can yield meaningful progress or proof-of-concept results. Because secondary data analysis projects can range widely in complexity, the program anticipates that individual awards may differ in size and scope. At the same time, the announcement sets firm boundaries on project length and budget: the total project period cannot exceed two years, total direct costs are capped at 275,000 across the two-year period, and no more than 200,000 in direct costs may be requested in any single year. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and inclusive. A wide range of organization types may apply, including for-profit and nonprofit entities; public and private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of state and local government; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities; eligible federal agencies; and domestic as well as foreign institutions. The eligible applicant list also explicitly includes several government and education-related entities (for example, independent school districts, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities), as well as nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status. In terms of who may serve as Project Director/Principal Investigator, any individual with the expertise, knowledge, and resources to carry out the work is eligible, and NIH specifically encourages applications from individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and from individuals with disabilities.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity with multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, and applicants are directed to the full announcement for the specific schedule and submission details. The funding opportunity number is PAR-06-326, and the full program announcement is available through the NIH Grants Guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-326.html. For access or technical issues related to the announcement, the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster is listed as the point of contact.
