Opportunity Summary:
The NHLBI Program Project Applications (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-316) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) that supports large, investigator-initiated research programs organized around a unifying scientific theme. The intent is to fund coordinated groups of studies that, when pursued together, can address important questions more effectively than separate standalone projects. Applications are expected to align with the NHLBI mission, which broadly covers the biology, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions involving the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and blood, as well as blood resources and sleep disorders.
A defining requirement of this P01 mechanism is that each application must include at least three interrelated research projects. These projects need to be connected by a common central theme, focus, and/or overall objective, meaning reviewers will look for clear scientific integration and a rationale for why the projects should be funded and managed as a single program rather than as independent grants. In practice, a competitive program project typically demonstrates synergy: shared hypotheses, complementary approaches, and coordinated aims that collectively advance the central goal. While the source text provided highlights the minimum structure (three related projects with a common theme), the overall emphasis is on building a cohesive research program with meaningful connections across the component projects.
The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the activity category is health. The announcement is associated with multiple CFDA program areas reflecting NHLBI scope: 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research), 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as described), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and various levels of government (city/township, county, state, special districts), as well as independent school districts and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility section also explicitly lists a range of institution types and community-focused organizations, including 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 eligible federal government agencies.
Foreign (non-U.S.) institutions are not eligible to apply as applicant organizations. However, the announcement allows non-domestic components of U.S. organizations to participate, and foreign components are permitted as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. This means the prime applicant must be eligible and typically U.S.-based, but parts of the work can be conducted abroad or involve foreign collaborators when allowable under NIH policy and justified by the science.
Key timeline details in the source data show the FOA was posted and created on August 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016. As listed, this particular announcement is historical/archived, so anyone interested in pursuing a P01 would generally need to look for the current NHLBI P01 funding announcement or active NIH program project FOAs that have replaced or updated this one. The full archived announcement is referenced via the NIH Grants Guide link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-316.html
