Opportunity Summary:
The NIDDK Program Projects (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 16 127) is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to support large, investigator-initiated program project applications that bring together multiple related research efforts under one coordinated umbrella. The core idea is to fund a set of scientifically linked projects that share a common theme and benefit from close collaboration, shared resources, and an overall leadership plan. This type of award is typically used when a research question is big enough that it is best tackled by several complementary projects working in parallel, rather than a single stand-alone study.
The program is sponsored by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) within HHS/NIH (listed as HHS-NIH11) and focuses on topics that align with NIDDKs mission. Proposed programs should fit within scientific areas such as diabetes, selected endocrine and metabolic diseases, obesity, digestive diseases and nutrition, and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases. The announcement also emphasizes innovation and impact, specifically encouraging new approaches to prevent, treat, and cure these conditions. Clinical research is explicitly included, so applicants can propose human-focused studies when appropriate, as long as they are well justified and aligned with the institutes priorities. NIDDK provides additional detail on its scientific program areas through its public research areas page.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when noted in the category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The notice also references an "Others" category with eligibility clarified in the full text, which typically means additional entity types may be allowed if they meet NIH policy requirements described in the complete announcement.
The activity category for this opportunity is listed under Food and Nutrition and Health, with CFDA number 93.847. The funding instrument type is a grant. The opportunity was posted and created on March 9, 2016, and the original and current closing date shown is May 7, 2019. The award ceiling is listed as $6,250,000, indicating the maximum amount expected per award under the terms described in the announcement, although actual budgets in NIH mechanisms often depend on the scope, duration, and negotiated final budget. The number of expected awards is not provided in the supplied record, which generally means applicants should not assume a specific success rate and should focus on the strength, alignment, and integration of the proposed program.
Overall, this FOA is aimed at research teams capable of organizing a multi-project, collaborative program that advances NIDDK-relevant science in a cohesive way, ideally producing outcomes that would be difficult to achieve through smaller, independent projects.
