Opportunity Summary:
The NICHD Program Project Grant (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-257) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). It is designed to support large, coordinated research programs that tackle complex scientific questions tied directly to NICHDs mission, especially when those questions are better solved through a tightly integrated team approach than through separate, loosely related projects. The emphasis is on research that is innovative, multidisciplinary, interactive, and genuinely synergistic, meaning the combined program is expected to produce more impactful advances than the same set of projects pursued independently without a shared theme and active collaboration.
In terms of scientific scope, the announcement invites applications focused on reproductive, developmental, behavioral, social, and rehabilitative processes that shape health and functioning across the lifespan. While NICHD is often associated with maternal and child health, the language here is intentionally broad: studies may address newborns, infants, children, adults, families, and whole populations, as long as the work fits NICHD priorities. Projects might range from fundamental mechanisms to applied or translational work, and they can incorporate multiple disciplines (for example, biology, clinical sciences, epidemiology, behavioral science, social science, and rehabilitation science) when that integration strengthens the central research theme.
A key goal of the P01 mechanism is to encourage investigation of complex problems while also creating practical efficiencies. The FOA highlights the expectation that a program project can share space, equipment, resources, and coordinated infrastructure in a way that reduces duplication and improves productivity. The underlying idea is that when investigators organize around a coherent scientific theme, develop shared cores or resources, and work collaboratively, they can accelerate discovery and generate knowledge faster and more effectively than a collection of stand-alone grants.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and public entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); and various governmental units such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public or Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and community-rooted institutions and organizations, 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 and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies.
There are notable restrictions related to foreign participation. Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant organization, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed under NIH policy (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement), which generally means a U.S. applicant may include certain foreign collaborations or elements when scientifically justified and compliant with NIH requirements.
From an administrative perspective, this opportunity was posted and created on July 2, 2013, and it carried an original and current closing date of September 7, 2016, with an archive date of October 8, 2016. It is listed under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). The FOA states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is typical for many NIH research grant mechanisms.

What is the purpose of the P01 (Program Project Grant) mechanism in this FOA?
The P01 mechanism is intended to support large, coordinated research programs that address complex scientific questions tied directly to NICHD's mission. The FOA emphasizes a tightly integrated team approach, where the combined effort is expected to achieve more than the same projects would if pursued independently.
What does NICHD mean by a "coordinated research program"?
Based on the FOA description, a coordinated research program is one that is organized around a coherent scientific theme and carried out by an interactive, multidisciplinary team. The expectation is active collaboration and true synergy across the program rather than a set of loosely connected projects.
What kinds of research does this FOA support?
The FOA invites applications focused on reproductive, developmental, behavioral, social, and rehabilitative processes that influence health and functioning across the lifespan. The scope is broad as long as the research aligns with NICHD priorities.
Does the research have to focus only on maternal and child health?
No. While NICHD is often associated with maternal and child health, this FOA uses intentionally broad language and indicates that studies may involve newborns, infants, children, adults, families, and whole populations, provided the work fits NICHD priorities.
What life stages or populations can be included in projects?
The FOA indicates research may address health and functioning across the lifespan. Examples of included groups explicitly mentioned are newborns, infants, children, adults, families, and whole populations, as long as the proposed work aligns with NICHD priorities.
Does the FOA support basic, applied, or translational research?
Yes. The FOA states that projects may range from fundamental mechanisms to applied or translational work, depending on how the approach supports the central theme and NICHD mission priorities.
What does "synergistic" mean in the context of this P01?
In this FOA, synergy means the integrated program is expected to produce more impactful advances than the same set of projects would produce if conducted independently without a shared theme and active collaboration.
Why does the FOA emphasize multidisciplinary and interactive research?
The FOA highlights that complex scientific questions are often better solved through a tightly integrated team approach. It encourages innovative, multidisciplinary, interactive efforts where integration across disciplines strengthens the central research theme.
What disciplines might be part of a competitive program project under this FOA?
The FOA notes that projects can integrate multiple disciplines when that strengthens the central theme. Examples listed include biology, clinical sciences, epidemiology, behavioral science, social science, and rehabilitation science.
What efficiencies is the P01 mechanism expected to create?
The FOA describes an expectation that program projects share space, equipment, resources, and coordinated infrastructure. This shared approach is meant to reduce duplication and improve productivity compared with multiple stand-alone projects.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broad for U.S.-based organizations and public entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); and various governmental units (state, county, city/township, special district, independent school districts, and public or Indian housing authorities). The FOA also includes eligible federal agencies.
Are community-based or faith-based organizations eligible?
Yes. The FOA explicitly includes faith-based or community-based organizations among eligible applicant types.
