Opportunity Summary:
Opportunities for Collaborative Research at the NIH Clinical Center (U01) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-358) is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement program designed to fund collaborative, translational research projects that can be carried out in partnership with the NIH Clinical Center. The central purpose is to move promising basic biological discoveries closer to real-world clinical use by supporting studies that directly advance understanding of important disease processes or that have clear potential to produce new or improved therapeutics, diagnostics, or prevention strategies. In practical terms, the NIH is looking for strong, well-justified science that is positioned to translate into measurable clinical impact and that fits within the research priorities of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.
Because the funding mechanism is a U01 cooperative agreement, projects are expected to involve substantial NIH scientific and/or programmatic involvement beyond what is typical for a standard research grant. Applicants should anticipate a genuinely collaborative relationship, where investigators coordinate with NIH staff and leverage the specialized clinical research environment, infrastructure, and patient-oriented resources of the NIH Clinical Center. The opportunity spans a wide range of health and biomedical topics, reflecting the many participating NIH components and the broad set of CFDA program areas listed in the notice, including cancer (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control), cardiovascular, lung and blood diseases, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience and neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, microbiology and infectious diseases, child health and human development, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse, sleep disorders, oral diseases, human genome research, communication disorders, and technology innovation to improve human health. This breadth signals that the key requirement is not a narrow disease focus, but rather a translational trajectory and alignment with NIH institute priorities.
Eligibility is intentionally expansive. In addition to typical academic and nonprofit applicants, the announcement permits applications from public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses and including small businesses), and a wide range of government entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts). The notice also explicitly includes tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and regional organizations. It further clarifies that many mission-focused institution types are eligible, 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 Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, foreign institutions and other non-U.S. entities may apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible; foreign components, as defined by NIH policy, are allowed. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
Administratively, the program was posted on September 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2015, and an archive date of April 20, 2015, meaning it is no longer active as a current competition but remains relevant as a reference point for similar NIH Clinical Center collaboration opportunities. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the official announcement is hosted through the NIH grants website (the notice points to the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts page for PAR-13-358). For access or technical issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
