Opportunity Summary:
The NIAMS Skin Biology and Diseases Resource-based Centers (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AR-16-003) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program run by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) to strengthen and accelerate research in skin biology and skin diseases. The central idea is to fund shared research infrastructure rather than stand-alone research projects. In practice, these P30 "resource-based centers" are meant to bring together groups of investigators working on related skin-focused questions and give them access to common facilities, services, and specialized resources that make their independently funded studies run more efficiently and with higher quality. NIAMS frames the overall purpose as accelerating, enriching, and enhancing basic, translational, and clinical research already underway while also helping spark new research directions that fit within the NIAMS mission.
The program emphasizes the value of centralized, shared cores and coordinated support that individual labs would struggle to build or sustain on their own. The centers are expected to provide critical research infrastructure such as shared facilities, technical services, and resources that enable investigators to carry out their own NIH-funded (or otherwise independently supported) projects more effectively. While the specific structure can vary by institution, the intent is that the center acts as a hub that increases productivity, encourages collaboration, reduces duplication of expensive capabilities across labs, and improves access to specialized expertise or technologies relevant to skin biology and disease research. The P30 mechanism is specifically geared toward supporting these kinds of shared resources and organizational frameworks rather than paying for a single research hypothesis.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category under CFDA 93.846 (Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research). The award ceiling listed is $500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted and created on December 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2015, and an archive date of July 12, 2015, indicating that this specific solicitation is now historical rather than open for submission.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, public housing authorities, independent school districts), as well as Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility language also explicitly includes various mission-serving and minority-serving institutions and related categories such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and AANAPISISs, among others, along with faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, although foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, which typically means certain discrete elements of the work may involve a foreign component under NIH rules even though the applicant organization itself must be eligible and U.S.-based.
