Opportunity Summary:

The NIA Revision and Resubmission Program Project Applications (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-329) was a discretionary NIH grant program run by the National Institute on Aging under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research). It was designed specifically for two situations: first, to let investigators submit revision applications to active, NIA-funded P01 program project grants; and second, to allow resubmission of previously unfunded P01 program project applications, including resubmissions of unfunded revision requests. In practical terms, the announcement aimed to help established multi-project research programs either expand in a focused way while an award is underway or strengthen and re-present an application that was not funded the first time, as long as the science fits squarely within NIA priorities and mission areas.

For revisions to an existing, ongoing NIA-supported P01, the central expectation was that the applicant would propose a meaningful scientific expansion of the parent program project. That expansion could take the form of adding a new project, substantially expanding one or more existing projects, or proposing additional projects that enhance the overall program’s scope and impact. The revision mechanism is not meant for minor administrative changes; it is meant for substantive scientific growth that clearly integrates with the program project structure. At the same time, the announcement placed a hard boundary on the period of support: a revision could not extend funding beyond the current end date of the parent P01 award. In other words, any added or expanded work requested through the revision had to fit within the remaining project period of the existing award.

The program also explicitly supported resubmissions of unfunded P01 applications, which typically means an applicant can address reviewer critiques, strengthen the scientific justification, improve integration across projects and cores, and resubmit a more competitive package. The inclusion of “unfunded revision requests” in the resubmission allowance indicates NIA was also open to applicants reworking and resubmitting prior revision proposals that did not receive funding, again with the expectation that the revised submission would respond to prior concerns and better align with NIA’s scientific objectives.

Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S.-based organizations: public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, for-profit entities other than small businesses, and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). The announcement also encompassed several special categories 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 and eligible federal agencies. A key restriction was that non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible to apply; however, “foreign components” as defined by NIH policy were allowed, meaning certain aspects of the work could be conducted abroad if they met NIH’s definition and requirements, even though the applicant organization itself had to be eligible and domestic.

From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 9, 2013, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016, and it was archived on October 8, 2016. Applicants who needed the full policy details, application instructions, and any NIA-specific expectations were directed to the full announcement on the NIH Grants Guide website. For access or technical issues related to the announcement, NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact was provided.

FAQs: NIA Revision and Resubmission Program Project Applications (P01) - PAR-13-329

What is this funding opportunity?

This was a discretionary NIH grant program run by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for Program Project (P01) applications. It was identified as Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-329 and aligned with CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research).

What was the main purpose of PAR-13-329?

The announcement was designed for two specific situations: (1) submitting a revision application to an active, NIA-funded P01 program project grant, and (2) resubmitting a previously unfunded P01 program project application, including resubmissions of previously unfunded revision requests.

Who was this opportunity intended to help?

It was aimed at established multi-project research programs that either needed to expand in a focused, scientifically meaningful way during an active award period or needed to strengthen and re-present an application that was not funded the first time, provided the science fit within NIA priorities and mission areas.

What types of applications were supported?

The program supported (a) revisions to ongoing NIA-supported P01 awards and (b) resubmissions of unfunded P01 applications. It also allowed resubmissions of unfunded revision requests.

What is meant by a "revision" in this context?

A revision was expected to be a substantive scientific expansion of an active, NIA-funded parent P01 program project grant. The intent was scientific growth that integrates with the program project structure, not minor administrative updates.

What kinds of changes could be proposed in a revision application?

The announcement described meaningful scientific expansion as potentially including adding a new project, substantially expanding one or more existing projects, or proposing additional projects that enhance the overall program's scope and impact.

Are minor administrative changes appropriate for this revision mechanism?

No. The revision mechanism described in the announcement was not intended for minor administrative changes. It was intended for substantive scientific expansion.

Can a revision extend the end date of the parent P01 award?

No. The opportunity placed a firm limit on the period of support: a revision could not extend funding beyond the current end date of the parent P01 award. Any added or expanded work needed to fit within the remaining project period.

What is meant by a "resubmission" under this opportunity?

A resubmission referred to re-submitting a previously unfunded P01 application. The practical goal was to address reviewer critiques, strengthen the scientific justification, improve integration across projects and cores, and submit a more competitive application aligned with NIA scientific objectives.

Were resubmissions of unfunded revision requests allowed?

Yes. The announcement explicitly indicated that resubmissions could include previously unfunded revision requests, with the expectation that the new submission would respond to prior concerns and better align with NIA's objectives.

Does the science need to align with NIA priorities?

Yes. The announcement emphasized that submissions needed to fit squarely within NIA priorities and mission areas.

Which organizations were eligible to apply?

Eligibility was broad and included many U.S.-based organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status); small businesses; for-profit entities other than small businesses; and various government entities (state, county, city/township, special district, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities).

Were specific institution types called out as eligible?

Yes. The announcement explicitly encompassed 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). It also included faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies.

Are foreign (non-U.S.) institutions eligible to apply as the applicant organization?

No. Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions were not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible to apply as the applicant.

Are foreign components allowed at all?

Yes. While the applicant organization needed to be eligible and domestic, "foreign components" as defined by NIH policy were allowed. That means certain aspects of the work could be conducted abroad if they met NIH's definition and requirements.

When was this opportunity posted?

The opportunity was posted on August 9, 2013.

What was the closing date for applications?

The original and final closing date was September 7, 2016.

When was the opportunity archived?

It was archived on October 8, 2016.

Where were applicants directed for full instructions and policy details?

Applicants were directed to the full announcement on the NIH Grants Guide website for complete policy details, application instructions, and any NIA-specific expectations.

Who was listed as a contact for access or technical issues?

For access or technical issues related to the announcement, a contact was provided for the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster.
