Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity RFA-OD-12-007 is a discretionary grant announcement inviting revision applications to existing NIH-supported P30 center grants. The goal is to allow currently funded P30 awardees to broaden or extend the scope of their approved research programs by adding new work that is directly relevant to smoking, tobacco products, and/or tobacco constituents. In practical terms, this is not a brand-new standalone center competition; it is a chance for institutions that already hold an active P30 award to request additional support to expand what their center is doing, specifically in ways that align with federal tobacco regulatory research needs.
A central feature of the announcement is its connection to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and the FDA's regulatory authority over tobacco products. Applicants are expected to propose revisions that address research priorities tied to tobacco regulation, such as generating evidence that could inform FDA decisions about product standards, labeling, marketing, product constituents, nicotine delivery, toxicity, addictiveness, and public health impacts. The FOA also makes clear that revisions are welcome even when the original P30 did not focus on tobacco, as long as the proposing team has the scientific expertise to do credible tobacco-related work and the added aims clearly fit the FDA-related priorities described in the announcement.
Eligibility is limited to investigators and institutions with active NIH-funded P30 project awards, including those operating under a funded extension. A range of higher-education institution types may apply, including public and state-controlled universities and private institutions of higher education, as well as several categories of minority-serving institutions (such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and AANAPISIs). Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components are allowed as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, which typically means specific, justified elements of the work may occur abroad under an eligible U.S. applicant organization.
The announcement anticipated around 20 awards with an estimated total funding level of about $20 million, and it set an award ceiling of $1,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to commit institutional funds as a condition of receiving the award (though institutions can still provide support if they choose). The activity category is health, and the relevant CFDA number listed is 93.077, reflecting the regulatory research focus connected to the Tobacco Control Act.
Timing details in the posting show it was published on December 18, 2012, with an application due date (closing date) of March 26, 2013, and an archive date of April 26, 2013. While those dates indicate the opportunity was time-limited and is now archived, the summary structure remains useful as a model for understanding what NIH meant by a "revision" to a P30: a targeted expansion of an already-funded center program, justified by an emerging or high-priority scientific and public health need, in this case evidence to support FDA tobacco regulation.
For applicants needing the complete policy and scientific requirements, NIH provided the full FOA via the NIH grants guide at the link in the announcement, and offered support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
