Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCR Small Research Grants for Data Analysis and Statistical Methodology applied to Genome wide Data (R03) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-041) was a discretionary National Institutes of Health grant opportunity designed to fund smaller, focused projects that make strong scientific use of existing genome-wide datasets in ways that are directly relevant to human dental, oral, or craniofacial conditions and traits. Rather than supporting new genome-wide data collection, the emphasis is on secondary analyses of already-available genome-wide data and on developing, adapting, or testing statistical methods that improve how genome-wide data can be analyzed and interpreted for oral and craniofacial research questions. In practical terms, applicants were expected to propose work such as reanalyzing previously generated GWAS or other genome-wide datasets to discover new genetic associations, validating or refining earlier findings using alternative analytic strategies, integrating genome-wide data with phenotypic or clinical measures related to dental or craniofacial outcomes, or creating and evaluating analytic methodology that addresses common challenges in genome-wide studies (for example, handling population structure, multiple testing, rare variant analysis, missing data, phenotype definition issues, or other sources of bias and uncertainty).
The award mechanism for this program was the NIH Small Research Grant (R03), which is typically used for short-term, limited-scope projects that can be completed with a modest budget and a clearly defined set of aims. The listed award ceiling for this opportunity was $200,000, consistent with the R03 concept of supporting compact projects where the key value comes from the idea, the analytic plan, and the rigor of the approach rather than from large-scale data generation. The announcement noted that the total amount ultimately awarded and the number of awards made would vary and would depend on the scientific merit of submitted applications as well as the availability of funds in NIDCRs general funding pool. It also made clear that project size and duration could differ across awards because proposals could range from targeted secondary analyses to more methodological efforts, each with different staffing, computational, and time requirements.
Eligibility under PAR-10-041 was broad and included many types of organizations that commonly apply for NIH funding. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (with small businesses explicitly included), as well as nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status. Governmental and community-based entities were also eligible, including state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The opportunity also identified additional eligible categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Notably, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) were listed as eligible as well. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Administratively, the program was posted on December 1, 2009, and the original and final closing date listed was January 7, 2013, with an archive date of February 7, 2013, indicating that the announcement is no longer active. The associated CFDA number was 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research, and the sponsoring agency was the National Institutes of Health, with the program housed in NIDCR. For further details at the time, applicants were directed to the full FOA text on the NIH Grants Guide website, and technical access issues were handled through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact provided in the listing.
