Opportunity Summary:
Opportunities for Collaborative Research at the NIH Clinical Center (U01) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 15-287) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement program designed to fund collaborative, translational research projects that can be carried out in partnership with the NIH Clinical Center. The core purpose is to speed up the movement of promising basic biological discoveries into real-world clinical applications that improve human health. Projects are expected to be strongly translational in nature, meaning they should aim to clarify an important disease process in humans or produce tangible next steps toward new therapies, diagnostics, or prevention approaches. Because this is a U01 cooperative agreement, awardees should anticipate an active working relationship with NIH staff and Clinical Center collaborators rather than a hands-off grant structure.
The opportunity is broadly aligned with the missions and scientific priorities of multiple participating NIH Institutes and Centers, and it is meant to encourage high-quality science with clear potential for clinical impact. The listed CFDA program areas reflect a wide span of biomedical and behavioral research domains, including (but not limited to) deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep disorders, mental health, alcohol and substance use disorders, technological innovations to improve human health, dietary supplement research, multiple areas of cancer research (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control), cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases, arthritis and musculoskeletal/skin diseases, diabetes/digestive/kidney diseases, neuroscience and neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, microbiology and infectious diseases, child health and human development, and vision research. In practical terms, this breadth indicates the program is intended to support a diverse range of clinically relevant research questions, as long as the work fits the interests of the participating NIH components and is appropriate for collaboration with the NIH Clinical Center environment.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, with an award ceiling of $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants who may not have institutional resources to contribute required match funds. The announcement was posted and created on June 24, 2015. The original and current closing date listed is April 11, 2018, with an archive date of May 12, 2018, meaning the specific solicitation as written is no longer open; however, it can still be useful as a reference point for understanding the structure NIH has used for Clinical Center collaborative mechanisms and for tracking whether similar or updated opportunities are available.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes many types of organizations that can carry out translational research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Governmental entities are also eligible, including state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility list further includes a number of mission-driven and historically underrepresented institution types and community-rooted entities, 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations. Additional eligible applicants include certain tribal governments and tribal organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, eligible federal agencies, and non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). This breadth suggests NIH was aiming to attract strong translational teams from many sectors, including academic, clinical, community, governmental, and international settings, where collaboration with the NIH Clinical Center could add unique capabilities.
The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. For further details, the full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and the listing provides support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
