Opportunity Summary:
New Directions in Hematology Research (SHINE II) (R01) is an NIH funding opportunity (PAS-13-006) issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to spark fresh, high-impact directions in hematology research. The program is designed for investigators who want to test bold, potentially field-shifting ideas that could open up new lines of discovery relevant to NIDDKs hematology mission. SHINE II specifically builds on the earlier SHINE initiative (PAS-10-046, Stimulating Hematology Investigation New Endeavors) by continuing to encourage creative, exploratory hematology projects, but with an emphasis on focused validation of novel concepts rather than broad, multi-aim research plans.
The core intent is to support preclinical, proof-of-principle work that can demonstrate whether an innovative concept or approach is actually viable. In practice, this means projects should be tightly scoped, aimed at answering one central question or validating one key concept that could serve as a foundation for larger studies later. Compared with a typical R01, the applications are expected to be narrower and faster-moving, with a shorter project period of about 1 to 3 years and a structure centered on a single main aim, rather than multiple extensive aims.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity under the NIH umbrella, categorized in the health area (CFDA 93.847, Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The announcement listed an estimated total program funding level of about $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. In other words, applicants are not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad across many types of domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include a wide range of nonprofit and governmental entities, public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly includes organizations 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, among others. At the same time, foreign institutions are not eligible to apply directly, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, which can matter for projects that require specific expertise, cohorts, samples, or collaboration outside the United States.
Timing details in the source record indicate it was posted on October 10, 2012, with administrative dates showing creation on April 1, 2015 and an original closing date of May 7, 2015, alongside a current closing date of April 1, 2015 and an archive date of May 1, 2015. The full announcement and requirements were provided through the NIH Grants Guide link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAS-13-006.html. For access or technical issues with the online posting, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, SHINE II is best understood as a targeted R01-style mechanism meant to quickly test and validate novel hematology ideas with strong potential payoff. The program pushes applicants to keep the project compact and decisive, generating the kind of early evidence that can justify and guide larger, more comprehensive follow-on research.
