Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (P30) funding opportunity (RFA-DK-09-006) is a National Institutes of Health program run through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to support institutions that want to build or strengthen a centralized, shared research infrastructure focused on nutrition and/or obesity. The goal is not simply to fund a collection of individual projects, but to create a coordinated center environment where investigators can work together more effectively. These centers are meant to unite basic science researchers and clinical investigators in a cooperative structure, improving the quality, efficiency, and overall impact of research that addresses nutrition and obesity-related questions, including translational work that bridges laboratory discoveries and human studies.
This opportunity uses the NIH P30 Center Core Grant mechanism. In practical terms, a P30 is designed to pay for shared "core" resources and services that multiple researchers can use, rather than primarily funding stand-alone research aims. A successful application typically describes an integrated center program with centralized facilities, expertise, and administrative support that enable multiple investigators to conduct higher-quality research than they could achieve independently. The emphasis is on creating an institutional hub that enhances ongoing and future nutrition and obesity research by providing accessible, well-managed, cost-effective shared resources and fostering collaboration across disciplines.
NIDDK anticipated a total of about $4,000,000 in funding under this announcement, with an expectation of making four awards total. The notice indicates that these awards could include both new centers and competing renewals, and it specifically notes that three existing P30 centers were expected to submit renewal applications. The award ceiling listed is $750,000, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces barriers for institutions that may not have discretionary resources to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and additional categories called out for clarification. The additional eligible applicant types include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and eligible federal agencies. This breadth signals an interest in supporting strong research environments across a wide range of institutional settings, including those that serve populations disproportionately affected by obesity and nutrition-related health conditions.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2009, with a closing date of November 18, 2009, and it is now archived (archive date December 19, 2009). The activity category is listed under Food and Nutrition and Health, and it falls under CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). For applicants seeking full details at the time, NIH provided an official RFA link through the NIH Grants Guide, and technical access issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
