Opportunity Summary:
The NIBIB Quantum Projects Implementation Phase II (U01) funding opportunity (RFA-EB-09-003) is a National Institutes of Health grant solicitation issued by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) for the second phase of its Quantum Program. The central aim is to support ambitious biomedical technology efforts that can produce a truly substantial, step-change level of impact on a major disease area or a nationally significant public health problem. In practical terms, NIBIB is looking for projects where the technology development and implementation are expected to move the needle in prevention, diagnosis, or treatment in a way that is meaningfully beyond incremental improvement.
This announcement uses the U01 Research Project Cooperative Agreement mechanism. A U01 is distinct from a standard research project grant because it involves cooperative agreement features, meaning the NIH program staff typically has a more active role in coordination, oversight, and partnership during the life of the award than under a traditional R01. For applicants, that generally signals an expectation of clear milestones, active project management, and ongoing engagement with the funding institute as the work progresses through implementation-oriented objectives.
NIBIB indicated an anticipated program commitment of up to $8,000,000 in fiscal year 2010, with an expectation of making between one and three awards. That range implies the institute planned to concentrate resources into a small number of larger, high-impact projects rather than spreading funds broadly. As with many federal funding announcements, the actual awards were explicitly contingent on the availability of appropriated funds and the submission of enough highly competitive applications.
The opportunity falls under the discretionary grant category and is tied to CFDA number 93.286, described as Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was broad and included for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and multiple categories of nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits outside higher education). The eligible applicant pool also explicitly included federally recognized Native American tribal governments and a set of institution types often highlighted in NIH eligibility language, 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 eligible agencies of the federal government. The listing also referenced an "Others" category with further clarification in the full announcement text, indicating that additional eligible entities may have been described in the complete FOA.
Key dates associated with the posting show it was published on November 12, 2009, with an application closing date of January 22, 2010, and an archive date of February 22, 2010. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants policy and funding opportunity pages, and technical access issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts.
