Opportunity Summary:
The NINDS Program Project Grant (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-172) is a discretionary grant mechanism from the National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), aimed at supporting large, coordinated research programs in neuroscience and neurological disorders. The core purpose of this announcement is to encourage teams of outstanding investigators to form a tightly integrated collaboration that can tackle major scientific questions aligned with the NINDS mission. What sets a P01 apart is that it is not simply a bundle of separate projects under one umbrella; it is meant to fund a group of interdependent research projects that gain clear scientific strength by being pursued together, in a deliberately interactive and synergistic structure, rather than as stand-alone grants.
The program project model is built around the idea that some research problems are best solved through organized collaboration across disciplines, laboratories, and approaches. Under this FOA, applicants are expected to propose innovative and interactive research, where multiple component projects inform and strengthen one another. The emphasis is on the added value of the group: the combined program should be able to accomplish goals, generate insights, or create resources that would be difficult, slower, or less impactful if each project were submitted independently. The intent is also to catalyze collaborations among scientists who might not otherwise work together, which signals that NINDS is looking for thoughtfully designed team science with meaningful integration rather than loosely connected work.
This opportunity falls under the NIH health research funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.853, covering extramural research programs in the neurosciences and neurological disorders. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award. The original posting date is March 22, 2011, with administrative record dates indicating a creation date of August 5, 2013, and an archive date of September 6, 2013. The listed original closing date was May 7, 2014, and the current closing date in the source data is August 5, 2013, reflecting that the announcement is archived and no longer open for applications under those dates.
Eligibility for this FOA is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted distinction of those “other than institutions of higher education” in the nonprofit category), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Tribal entities are also included, covering federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations. The FOA also explicitly extends eligibility to additional 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), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. In practical terms, this breadth signals that NINDS intended the mechanism to be accessible to many institutional settings capable of organizing complex, multi-project research programs.
For applicants seeking full details, the FOA points to the NIH Grants Guide page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-172.html. The contact information provided is oriented to technical access and linking support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), indicating that scientific or programmatic questions would typically be handled through the full announcement’s listed institute contacts, while this specific listing highlights support for issues accessing the electronic posting. Overall, PAR-11-172 describes a team-based, high-impact funding pathway designed for integrated, multi-component neuroscience research programs where the collaborative structure itself is a central scientific advantage.
FAQs: NINDS Program Project Grant (P01) - PAR-11-172
What is this grant opportunity?
This opportunity is the NINDS Program Project Grant (P01) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PAR-11-172, a discretionary grant mechanism from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). It is designed to support large, coordinated research programs in neuroscience and neurological disorders.
What is the main purpose of the NINDS P01 mechanism under PAR-11-172?
The purpose is to encourage teams of outstanding investigators to build a tightly integrated, interactive, and synergistic collaboration to address major scientific questions aligned with the NINDS mission. The structure is intended to make the overall science stronger than it would be if the work were pursued as separate, stand-alone grants.
How is a P01 different from submitting multiple independent projects?
A P01 is not intended to be a loose collection of unrelated or only lightly connected projects. Instead, it is meant to fund interdependent component projects that gain clear scientific strength by being pursued together in a deliberately interactive and synergistic program, rather than as separate submissions.
What does NINDS mean by an "interactive and synergistic" program?
Based on the FOA description, "interactive and synergistic" means the component projects should inform and strengthen one another, with the collaborative design producing added value. The combined program should be able to accomplish goals, generate insights, or create resources more effectively than if each project were done independently.
What kinds of research does this FOA aim to support?
The FOA aims to support innovative and interactive research programs in neuroscience and neurological disorders that align with the NINDS mission, especially where organized collaboration across disciplines, laboratories, or approaches is needed to tackle major scientific questions.
Why does this FOA emphasize team science?
The program project model is built on the idea that certain research problems are best solved through organized collaboration.
