NIBIB Research Revisions to Promote Clinical Resident Research Experiences (Revisions to Currently Active NIBIB R01 and R37 Grants) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "NIBIB Research Revisions to Promote Clinical Resident Research Experiences" (PAR-07-363) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). Its main goal is to create a structured, supported pathway for physicians who are currently in residency training to spend a dedicated 1 to 2 years gaining hands-on research experience. Rather than funding a brand-new standalone project, the program is designed to be added onto an already funded NIBIB research award, so that residents can be embedded in active, well-established research environments and contribute meaningfully to ongoing work that fits NIBIB's mission in biomedical imaging and bioengineering.

A key feature of this opportunity is that it uses the NIH "revision" mechanism (often called an administrative supplement or competing revision depending on the circumstances). In practical terms, that means only investigators who already hold certain active NIBIB grants can apply to request additional funds and/or scope specifically to support a resident's research experience. The announcement is explicitly limited to revisions to currently active NIBIB R01 and R37 awards, which are major NIH research project grants. The intent is to leverage the infrastructure, mentorship, and scientific momentum of these existing grants, making it easier for a resident to step into a productive research setting with clear aims, appropriate supervision, and resources already in place.

The target participant is a physician in a residency program who has shown strong potential to develop into a productive researcher. The research proposed under the revision is expected to align both with the resident's interests and with NIBIB's scientific priorities. While the announcement summary does not list specific topic areas in detail, NIBIB broadly supports technological innovation that improves human health, particularly in areas spanning biomedical imaging, image-guided interventions, bioengineering methods, and related enabling technologies. The resident experience is intended to be substantive, not a brief exposure, and the 1 to 2 year duration signals an emphasis on real skill development, research ownership, and the kind of sustained effort typically needed to produce publishable results and build a trajectory toward longer-term clinician-scientist activity.

Funding and award size are described as variable because proposed projects and resident support needs can differ widely depending on the scientific field, methods, and the nature of the parent award. The listing shows an award ceiling of $100,000, but the program notes that both the amount and the number of awards are not fixed in advance and will ultimately depend on the number of applications received, their quality, their requested duration, and the reasonableness of their costs. In other words, this is an opportunity where the budget is expected to match the scope of the resident-focused research plan and the incremental needs beyond what the parent R01 or R37 already supports.

In terms of who may apply, the eligible applicant list is broad and includes many types of US-based public and private entities, such as state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, for-profit organizations (with distinctions made between small businesses and other for-profits), and certain tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also clarifies several important eligibility points: foreign institutions are not eligible to apply; eligible federal agencies may apply; and faith-based or community-based organizations are allowed, provided they otherwise meet the relevant NIH eligibility requirements. Because this is a revision to an existing NIBIB award, the practical applicant is typically the institution that already holds the active R01 or R37, submitting the revision request through the current principal investigator and grants office.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 24, 2007, and includes multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning submissions were accepted on a recurring schedule as specified in the full announcement. The program was archived on July 16, 2009, which indicates it is no longer active as originally posted, though it remains useful as a reference point for how NIBIB has structured resident research supplement initiatives. The activity category is health-related research under CFDA 93.286, described as discovery and applied research for technological innovations to improve human health, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, consistent with standard NIH research grant practices.

Anyone needing the full details, including submission instructions, required components of the revision application, and the exact receipt dates that were in effect at the time, is directed to the NIH Grants Guide link associated with PAR-07-363. The listing also provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement.
