Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "NIDCR Limited Competition Renewals of Existing Cooperative Agreement Awards, Prospective Studies on Craniofacial Pain and Dysfunction RFA DE 05 007 (U01)," is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). It was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity under the cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means the project is not just funded by NIH but also carried out with substantial NIH programmatic involvement in certain aspects of the work. The scientific focus is on prospective studies related to craniofacial pain and dysfunction, which generally refers to research that follows participants forward over time to understand how conditions develop, change, and potentially respond to interventions or risk factors.

A central point of this announcement is that it is a limited-competition renewal opportunity. In practical terms, it is not an open call for entirely new projects. Instead, it specifically invites renewal applications only from applicants that already hold active NIDCR-supported cooperative agreement awards (U01 awards) tied to the earlier initiative referenced as RFA DE 05 007. The intent is to allow existing, ongoing cooperative agreement projects in this research area to compete for continued support, rather than bringing in brand-new applicants who were not part of the original cooperative agreement portfolio.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-348, with a posted date and creation date of September 27, 2011. The original and current closing date are both listed as December 1, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on January 1, 2012. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 93.121, which corresponds to Oral Diseases and Disorders Research. No cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants are not expected to provide a specific percentage of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of award.

The eligible applicant types listed are broad and include many domestic organization categories: public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and multiple categories of tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility details also explicitly mention that additional eligible applicants include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes foreign participation: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. Even though the general eligibility list is broad, the limited-competition nature of the program still controls who can actually apply, meaning the practical eligible pool is constrained to current NIDCR U01 awardees covered by the referenced program.

Because this is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard research project grant), applicants should generally expect more structured coordination with NIDCR compared to mechanisms where the investigator has more independence. While the provided excerpt does not list specific cooperative agreement terms, U01 awards commonly involve collaboration expectations, shared governance structures, common protocols or data elements, milestone reporting, and other NIH involvement appropriate to the project. The overall goal, consistent with the title and description, is to continue and build upon established prospective research efforts aimed at understanding craniofacial pain and dysfunction.

For access and technical issues, the announcement provides a general NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) contact. If someone had difficulty accessing the full announcement or had problems linking to it, they were directed to contact the NIH OER Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
