Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCR Small Research Grants for Secondary Analysis of FaceBase Data (R03) opportunity (PAR 13-178) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant program designed to fund small, focused research projects that make use of existing data generated by the FaceBase Consortium. FaceBase is building and sharing comprehensive datasets focused on midfacial development, and these datasets are made publicly available to the research community through www.facebase.org. The main point of this FOA is to support investigators who want to ask new scientific questions by reanalyzing and repurposing these already-collected FaceBase datasets, rather than generating entirely new primary datasets.
The scientific scope centers on craniofacial biology and disease. Projects are expected to be directly relevant to craniofacial development, human craniofacial conditions or traits, and/or animal models that inform those human conditions. Because FaceBase is a consortium resource with multiple data types and studies, the FOA explicitly encourages informatics-driven work, especially projects that integrate data across multiple FaceBase datasets. In practice, that means proposals that combine, harmonize, or computationally link different datasets to uncover patterns or relationships that may not be visible when a dataset is analyzed in isolation, such as connecting developmental timing, genotype-phenotype associations, morphometric measurements, gene expression patterns, or other consortium-provided modalities, depending on what is available in FaceBase at the time of analysis.
Mechanistically, this is an R03 small research grant, which is typically used for discrete, well-defined projects that can be completed with limited resources and within a shorter timeframe than larger mechanisms. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants who may not have institutional funds to contribute. The funding activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research), reflecting NIDCRs mission and the oral/craniofacial research focus.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic U.S. organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, independent school districts, public housing authorities, and special district governments. The FOA also makes clear that non-U.S. entities are eligible: foreign organizations and foreign institutions can apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed. It also explicitly includes categories such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, regional organizations, and faith-based or community-based organizations, signaling an intent to keep the applicant pool inclusive.
From an applicants perspective, the core expectation is a strong, clearly justified secondary analysis plan that leverages FaceBase data to produce meaningful new insights in craniofacial science. Competitive projects under this FOA would typically demonstrate a sound analytic strategy, appropriate statistical or computational methods, and a clear explanation of how the proposed work will advance understanding of craniofacial development or disease beyond what has already been published from the original datasets. Because the FOA emphasizes integration across datasets, proposals that thoughtfully address data harmonization, interoperability, reproducibility, and informatics workflows are particularly aligned with the program priorities.

What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The purpose is to support investigators who want to ask new scientific questions by reanalyzing and repurposing already-collected FaceBase datasets, rather than creating entirely new primary datasets.
What is FaceBase?
FaceBase is a consortium effort that builds and shares comprehensive datasets focused on midfacial development. These datasets are made publicly available to the research community through www.facebase.org.
What type of research does this FOA support?
The scientific scope centers on craniofacial biology and disease. Projects are expected to be directly relevant to craniofacial development, human craniofacial conditions or traits, and/or animal models that inform those human conditions.
Does this program fund new data collection?
