Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity titled "Opportunities for Collaborative Research at the NIH Clinical Center (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-029) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health program that uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01) to support collaborative, translational research. Its central purpose is to speed up the path from basic biological findings to real-world clinical applications that improve human health. The distinctive feature of this opportunity is that it is built specifically to foster team-based projects that pair NIH intramural investigators, meaning scientists and clinician-researchers working inside NIH laboratories and clinics, with extramural investigators, meaning researchers based at universities, hospitals, nonprofits, companies, or other eligible organizations outside NIH. In practical terms, the program is designed to let outside investigators access and leverage the NIH Clinical Center environment and capabilities by carrying out a jointly planned project with an NIH intramural collaborator.
This FOA emphasizes translational research, which typically means work that connects discovery science to patient-oriented studies, clinical protocols, or other steps that bring an idea closer to diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, or treatment. The NIH Clinical Center is highlighted because it offers specialized infrastructure and unique opportunities that are not always available to outside institutions, such as tightly integrated clinical research operations, specialized cores, and the ability to conduct carefully designed studies in a setting that is purpose-built for clinical investigation. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NIH is expected to have substantial scientific or programmatic involvement during the life of the project compared with a standard research grant. The intention is that the extramural and intramural teams are not working in parallel, but are genuinely collaborating, sharing responsibilities and resources to carry out a unified research plan.
The opportunity spans a wide range of NIH mission areas, reflected in the multiple CFDA numbers associated with it. These include, among others, human genome research; deafness and communication disorders; sleep disorders; alcohol research; drug abuse and addiction; technology innovations to improve human health; and a broad set of cancer-related topics (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control). It also covers major cardiovascular, lung, and blood research areas, as well as allergy, infectious diseases, microbiology, child health and human development, and medical library assistance. The breadth of these program areas signals that the FOA is not limited to a single disease or organ system; instead, it is intended to support any strong translational project that fits NIH priorities and can benefit meaningfully from collaboration with NIH intramural investigators and the NIH Clinical Center setting.
In terms of funding parameters, the listed award ceiling is $500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include state and local governments (such as county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments as well as certain other tribal organizations. The FOA also allows applications from a wide range of nonprofit and academic organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status. Small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses are also eligible. Additional eligible categories called out include faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and specific 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 Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as U.S. territories or possessions and eligible federal agencies. A key limitation is that non-U.S. entities are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed as defined by NIH policy, including non-domestic components of U.S. organizations.
The timeline information provided indicates the FOA was posted on November 28, 2012, with later internal record dates (creation date September 20, 2013). It lists an original closing date of March 20, 2015, and a current closing date of September 21, 2013, with an archive date of October 21, 2013, indicating that the announcement is no longer active. For applicants or institutions seeking details on requirements, expectations for the intramural-extramural partnership, and application instructions, the full announcement is referenced via the NIH Grants Guide link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-029.html.
