Opportunity Summary:
The NIAID Resource Related Research Projects for AIDS, Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation (R24) funding opportunity (PAR-11-056) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant program designed to support investigator-initiated projects that function primarily as shared research resources. The central idea is not to fund a typical hypothesis-driven research project, but to fund a resource that strengthens and accelerates other high-priority NIAID-supported work by providing needed coordination, infrastructure, specialized services, or other support that multiple projects can rely on. The announcement makes clear that proposed resources must deliver a meaningful, tangible benefit to currently funded, high-priority projects that have a real need for added coordination and support.
This R24 mechanism is restricted to research priorities tied specifically to two NIAID divisions: the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) and the Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation (DAIT). In practice, that means applications have to be aligned with scientific areas that are squarely within these divisions missions and must be able to justify why the proposed resource is important for ongoing NIAID-funded efforts. The FOA also signals that NIAID expects to use this mechanism only occasionally. It is described as an infrequent route for resource support, generally reserved for situations where other NIAID funding mechanisms are not a good fit. While the emphasis is on supporting existing, funded high-priority projects, the announcement notes that in rare cases the R24 may be used to create a new resource that serves the broader NIAID scientific community, but this is positioned as the exception rather than the rule.
From a scientific scope standpoint, the opportunity covers a wide range of topics connected to NIAID core mission areas. On the HIV/AIDS side, it includes the biology of HIV, disease pathogenesis, and host immune responses to HIV infection. On the immunology and transplantation side, it includes the mechanisms underlying normal immune function as well as immune dysfunction, including autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, allergy, asthma, and transplant rejection. Across these areas, the FOA also highlights translational goals such as the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics intended to prevent or treat HIV, immune-mediated diseases, and allergic diseases. A competitive application, therefore, would be expected to show not only scientific relevance, but also a clear plan for how the resource will be organized and how it will directly enable or enhance the productivity, coordination, or impact of related NIAID-supported projects.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a variety of government bodies such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes several categories of mission-relevant institutions and organizations in its additional eligibility information, 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, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the opportunity is limited to U.S.-based applicants: non-U.S. (foreign) organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key administrative details in the provided source data include the funding instrument type (grant) and activity category (health). The CFDA program areas listed are 93.855 (Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research). The FOA was posted December 3, 2010, and reflects application due dates culminating in a final listed closing date of May 27, 2013, with an archive date of June 27, 2013.
