Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCD Research Core Centers (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-024) is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to strengthen and coordinate existing, already funded NIDCD-related research by supporting shared infrastructure rather than paying for new standalone research projects. The basic idea is to create or maintain a Core Center made up of one or more “research-serving cores” that provide centralized facilities, technical expertise, and other shared resources that multiple investigators can use to make their ongoing, funded projects more efficient, productive, and collaborative. The center can be housed within a single institution or organized as a consortium of cooperating institutions, including regional or web-based arrangements, as long as it is an identifiable organizational unit with clear structure and purpose.
A key feature of this P30 is that it is meant to function as an intellectual and operational hub for investigators who already hold funded research projects (for example, R01s). Instead of funding the direct scientific aims of individual projects, P30 support is used to integrate and enhance those projects by reducing duplication of effort, improving access to specialized capabilities, and encouraging multidisciplinary teamwork. Cores can be set up to share technical platforms, centralize labor-intensive work that many projects need, and support staffing, training, and maintenance of shared equipment or research resources. Examples described in the announcement include building or improving recruitment databases that support clinical studies, providing specialized methodological support, or developing innovative technical solutions that help investigators adopt the most current research approaches.
The program also draws clear boundaries around what P30 funds can and cannot be used for. Funds are not intended to provide patient services, to support unfunded pilot studies, or to facilitate research activity outside of funded “user projects,” unless that work is directly tied to advancing the capability and impact of the Core Center itself. In other words, the center exists to serve active, funded research users and to improve the shared environment that helps those funded projects succeed, rather than acting as a general research funding pool.
NIDCD encourages these centers to have impact beyond the immediate group of funded users by sharing data, tools, or technologies with other core centers and, where appropriate, with the broader research community. This reflects an emphasis on creating scalable infrastructure that improves scientific efficiency and dissemination, not just local capacity.
Administrative details provided in the source indicate the activity area is health and the relevant CFDA number is 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligible applicants span a broad range of U.S.-based organizations, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and other entities described in the full announcement. The eligibility information also explicitly includes various minority-serving institutions and community-based or faith-based organizations, as well as certain tribal and regional organizations. Foreign institutions are not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed under NIH policy as referenced in the announcement.
The opportunity was posted on November 23, 2012, with dates in the record indicating it has since been archived (archive date August 25, 2013). The full announcement and official details were made available through NIH via the link provided in the notice (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-024.html), with NIH Office of Extramural Research contacts listed for technical issues accessing the announcement.

This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-024) is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism from NIDCD that supports Research Core Centers (P30). It is designed to strengthen and coordinate existing, already funded NIDCD-related research by supporting shared infrastructure and centralized resources, rather than paying for new standalone research projects.
2) What is the main purpose of a P30 Core Center under this program?
The purpose is to create or maintain an identifiable Core Center that serves as an intellectual and operational hub for investigators who already have funded research projects. The center improves efficiency and collaboration by reducing duplication, expanding access to specialized capabilities, and encouraging multidisciplinary teamwork across funded projects.
3) Does this P30 fund new research projects or the scientific aims of individual studies?
No. The P30 is not intended to fund new standalone research projects or the direct scientific aims of individual projects. Instead, it supports shared infrastructure and services that enhance and integrate ongoing, funded “user projects” (for example, R01-funded projects).
4) What are “research-serving cores” in the context of this Core Center?
Research-serving cores are centralized facilities, technical platforms, expert services, or shared resources housed within the Core Center. Multiple investigators can use these cores to make their already funded projects more efficient, productive, and collaborative.
5) What kinds of shared resources or services can a P30 Core Center support?
Based on the announcement description, cores may support activities such as centralized facilities and technical expertise, sharing specialized methodological support, developing or improving recruitment databases that support clinical studies, centralizing labor-intensive work needed by multiple projects, and supporting staffing, training, and maintenance of shared equipment or research resources.
6) Can the Core Center be organized across multiple institutions?
Yes. The center can be housed within a single institution or organized as a consortium of cooperating institutions. Regional or web-based arrangements are allowed, as long as the center is an identifiable organizational unit with clear structure and purpose.
7) Who is expected to use the Core Center?
The Core Center is intended to serve investigators who already hold funded research projects that are related to NIDCD mission areas. The program emphasizes serving active, funded research users and improving the shared environment that helps those funded projects succeed.

“User projects” refers to the active, funded research projects that make use of the core services and shared infrastructure supported by the P30. P30 funds are meant to support the shared capabilities that these funded projects rely on.
9) What is explicitly not supported with P30 funds under this opportunity?
The announcement draws boundaries on allowability. P30 funds are not intended to provide patient services, support unfunded pilot studies, or facilitate research activity outside of funded user projects, unless the activity is directly tied to advancing the capability and impact of the Core Center itself.
10) Can P30 funds be used as a general research funding pool for investigators?
No. The P30 is described as infrastructure support for existing funded work, not a general pool of funds for unrelated or unfunded research. Its role is to enhance coordination, shared services, and technical capabilities that benefit active funded users.
11) Does NIDCD encourage sharing resources beyond the immediate center users?
