Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-10-003) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement issued through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Its main goal is to support institutions that want to run or strengthen a centralized research “core center” focused on nutrition and/or obesity. In practical terms, NIDDK is looking for organizations that can build an integrated program where multiple investigators share resources, infrastructure, and expertise so their combined work on nutrition and obesity becomes more productive and impactful than it would be if each lab or clinic operated separately.
This program is specifically designed to bring basic science researchers and clinical investigators together in a coordinated way. The center model emphasizes cooperation and shared capacity: instead of paying for a single research project, the P30 mechanism typically funds core services and facilities that many different studies can use. The intent is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall quality of nutrition and obesity research by creating shared platforms (for example, standardized methods, specialized equipment, or technical support) that help investigators collaborate and move findings between laboratory science and patient-oriented research more smoothly.
Funding is provided through the NIH P30 award mechanism, which is a center core grant. Under this announcement, NIDDK anticipated a total of about $5,000,000 in funding to support five awards, which could include new centers and/or renewals of existing centers. The award ceiling listed is $750,000. The announcement also notes that five existing P30 Centers were expected to apply for renewal, signaling that much of the competition would likely involve continuing established centers while still leaving room for potential new applicants depending on the review and funding decisions.
The opportunity falls under the broader federal activity category of Food and Nutrition / Health and is associated with CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specific amount of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
A wide range of applicant organizations are eligible. This includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions in those categories), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility list also explicitly includes certain mission-driven institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and eligible federal agencies. The announcement references “Others (see text)” to indicate that applicants should read the full eligibility language in the complete FOA for any additional conditions or clarifications.
Key dates tied to this announcement show it was posted and created on January 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2010, and an archive date of July 23, 2010.
