Opportunity Summary:
PAR-11-213 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) that supports a very specific kind of application: it is a limited competition announcement meant only for organizations that already hold an active NIA cooperative agreement award under the U01 mechanism and want either to continue that work through a renewal or to modify the scope of the currently funded project through a revision. In other words, it is not an open call for brand-new projects; it is designed to let NIA-funded U01 teams extend ongoing cooperative agreement activities or request changes to an existing NIA-supported U01 in a way that fits NIA program needs and NIH grant policy.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (U01), which generally means the project is still led by the awardee, but NIH/NIA expects to have substantial programmatic involvement compared with a standard research project grant. In practice, this typically includes closer coordination with NIA staff, adherence to agreed-upon milestones or governance structures, and participation in collaborative activities that may span multiple sites or projects, depending on the specific U01 program the award supports. The activity category is health, and the listing is tied to CFDA 93.866, Aging Research, signaling that the supported work is within NIA's scientific and public health mission around aging and age-related conditions.
Eligibility is broad in the sense that many organization types can be eligible in NIH programs (state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses and other for-profit organizations, tribal governments and tribal organizations, school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and various minority-serving institutions). However, the practical eligibility limiter here is the "limited competition" nature: applicants must be current NIA-supported cooperative agreement (U01) awardees seeking a renewal or a revision to that existing award. The announcement also clarifies restrictions common to NIH opportunities in this category: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) cannot apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed under this announcement.
The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Key administrative dates in the provided source data include a posted date of May 17, 2011, with later record updates shown (creation date January 31, 2013), and an original closing date listed as September 7, 2014. The record also shows a current closing date of January 31, 2013 and an archive date of March 1, 2013, which suggests the posting you are viewing is an archived entry and that applicants should rely on the full NIH Guide notice for the authoritative schedule and instructions as they existed when the opportunity was active.
For applicants trying to locate full requirements and instructions, the official NIH Guide page is provided at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-213.html. For access or linking issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, which is geared toward technical problems with the posting rather than scientific or programmatic questions about a specific U01.
