Opportunity Summary:
Network and Infrastructure Support for Development of Interdisciplinary Aging Research (R24) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-287) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen the research community focused on aging, specifically the challenges faced by older adults living with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). Rather than primarily funding large, stand-alone research studies, this program supports the creation and operation of research networks and shared infrastructure that make it easier for investigators from different disciplines to work together, develop new ideas, and accelerate progress in aging research where MCCs are a central concern. The overall aim is to foster novel interdisciplinary approaches that cut across traditional boundaries (for example, bringing together geriatrics, chronic disease specialties, behavioral science, health services research, epidemiology, nursing, rehabilitation, pharmacy, implementation science, informatics, and related fields) to better understand and address the complex, real-world health needs of older adults.
The mechanism used is the NIH Resource-Related Research Project (R24), which is commonly used to support resources, networks, and structured activities that enable and amplify research. Under this FOA, an R24 network is expected to advance interdisciplinary collaboration through concrete, organized efforts such as convening meetings, workshops, and conferences; facilitating data exchange and sharing of research tools; supporting small-scale pilot projects that test new concepts or methods; offering short-term training opportunities to build skills and grow the workforce; establishing visiting scholar programs to encourage cross-pollination of expertise; and conducting dissemination activities that spread effective approaches, methods, and findings. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund the connective tissue of a research community: the coordination, shared processes, and collaborative opportunities that help ideas move faster and help researchers tackle MCC-related questions that no single field can handle alone.
This opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.866 (Aging Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants are not obligated to contribute a set amount of non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted on July 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 25, 2013, and an archive date of October 26, 2013, indicating it was open for submissions during that 2013 cycle and is now archived.
Eligibility is broad across many U.S.-based organizational types, reflecting the network-building purpose and the value of involving diverse institutions and community partners in aging and MCC research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses, with small businesses explicitly listed); state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; special district governments; and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes a variety of mission-driven and capacity-building institution types and community-oriented organizations as eligible, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and certain tribal entities (including tribal organizations and tribal governments other than federally recognized tribal governments). At the same time, the FOA clearly restricts non-U.S. participation: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply; non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
Operationally, interested applicants would be expected to propose a well-structured network plan that demonstrates how they will build and sustain interdisciplinary collaboration focused on MCCs in older adults, what types of activities they will run, how data and resources will be shared, how pilot efforts and training will be organized, and how results and lessons will be disseminated to broaden impact. The goal is to create an environment where researchers can more rapidly generate and refine interdisciplinary approaches, develop early evidence through pilots, cultivate new collaborations and investigators, and ultimately strengthen the science needed to improve outcomes for older adults managing multiple chronic illnesses.
