Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition and Physical Activity Research to Promote Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Health (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-243) is an NIH discretionary grant program designed to support full-scale Research Project Grant (R01) studies focused on how lifestyle behaviors shape cardiovascular and lung health. The central theme is generating stronger, more actionable science on the roles of nutrition and physical activity in the development, prevention, and management of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and pulmonary diseases, while also examining how sleep may influence or modify the relationships between diet, physical activity, and these health outcomes.
The announcement lays out three connected goals. First, it seeks to deepen scientific understanding of how diet and physical activity contribute to the onset and progression of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, including attention to sleep as a potentially important factor that can interact with, strengthen, or weaken these effects. Second, it aims to expand the evidence base needed to refine public health recommendations and clinical guidelines related to nutrition, physical activity, and related lifestyle behaviors, with the expectation that better evidence can translate into clearer, more effective guidance for prevention and disease management. Third, it encourages research that goes beyond describing relationships and instead develops and tests practical strategies that help people and communities adopt recommended behaviors, which points toward intervention development, implementation approaches, and methods to improve uptake and adherence.
This FOA uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for more comprehensive projects that can support substantial, hypothesis-driven research programs rather than small pilot studies. It runs in parallel with a companion announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R21 mechanism (PA-09-244), which is typically oriented toward earlier-stage, exploratory, or proof-of-concept work. The R01 track in PA-09-243 is therefore a fit for investigators who already have a solid rationale and a well-developed research plan and who need the scale of an R01 to carry out the proposed work.
Funding under this FOA is described as contingent on the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications, and the announcement does not promise a fixed number of awards. The program is associated with multiple CFDA listings reflecting the cross-cutting nature of the topic area, including cardiovascular disease research (93.837), lung diseases research (93.838), nursing research (93.361), and research and training in complementary and integrative health (93.213). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit structures), small businesses and other for-profit entities (with small businesses explicitly listed), state and local governments (including city/township, county, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities, and tribal governments and tribal organizations. The eligibility language also explicitly includes a variety of mission- or population-focused institutions and organizations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and foreign (non-U.S.) entities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on August 24, 2009, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2012, and it was archived on October 8, 2012. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and the listed contact for access or linking issues is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
