Opportunity Summary:
The NIAID Resource Related Research Projects (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-242) is a discretionary NIH grant program run by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases that supports investigator-initiated projects focused on building, enhancing, or operating research resources. The central purpose is to provide a resource that delivers clear, direct value to NIAID-supported science, especially to currently funded, high-priority projects that need added coordination, infrastructure, or specialized support. In other words, this FOA is not mainly about funding a single standalone research study; it is about funding a capability, service, or coordinated structure that helps multiple NIAID-relevant projects function better, integrate more effectively, or achieve outcomes that would be difficult without a shared resource.
A defining feature of this R24 mechanism, as described in the announcement, is that it is expected to be used only infrequently and primarily in situations where other NIAID funding mechanisms are not a good fit. The program is geared toward targeted resource support in specific areas identified by NIAID priorities, typically when there is a demonstrated need for added coordination and support among existing projects. The FOA also notes that, in rare circumstances, an R24 may be used to develop a new resource intended for the broader NIAID scientific community, but that is framed as an exception rather than the routine use of the mechanism.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant funding instrument in the NIH health research domain, aligned with CFDA numbers 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute a defined percentage of project costs as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted and created on June 7, 2013, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016, and it was archived on October 8, 2016, indicating it is no longer an active, open solicitation in its listed form.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizational types, spanning public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts), as well as public housing authorities and tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility language explicitly includes a range of mission-focused institution types 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 U.S. territories or possessions where applicable. At the same time, the FOA clearly excludes foreign participation: non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them) are not allowed.
