Opportunity Summary:
The Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) FY10 (R24) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH), NICHD funding opportunity designed to strengthen the underlying infrastructure of established population research centers. Its core goal is not to fund a single research study, but to invest in the shared resources, services, and organizational capacity that help high-performing centers stay productive, expand their reach, and enhance their influence in research areas that align with the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) within NICHD's Center for Population Research. In practical terms, PRIP is meant to help proven centers do more and do it better by supporting the platforms that multiple investigators rely on, such as specialized expertise, shared methods support, data resources, and coordinated services that raise the overall quality and efficiency of population research.
The program supports three broad categories of infrastructure, described as cores. Research Support Cores are aimed at providing ongoing, center-wide services that directly enable research, such as shared methodological support, data management, statistical consulting, or other common resources that multiple projects can use. Developmental Infrastructure Cores are intended to build or strengthen emerging capabilities inside a center, allowing it to develop new tools, methods, staffing, collaborations, or other foundational elements that position the center to pursue new directions or respond to evolving scientific needs. Public Infrastructure Cores are focused on resources that provide broader value beyond a single center's internal community, such as activities or assets that can be accessed and used by a wider population research community, supporting dissemination, shared resources, or other forms of public-facing infrastructure.
This FOA allows two application paths. A Standard PRIP application can request support for Research Support Cores and/or Developmental Infrastructure Cores, and it may also include Public Infrastructure Cores if the applicant proposes them. A Public Infrastructure Only application, by contrast, is limited to requesting support only for Public Infrastructure Core(s). This structure gives applicants flexibility: centers that need core internal capacity-building can pursue a standard package, while groups focused primarily on providing widely usable infrastructure can apply specifically under the public-only track.
Funding is provided through the NIH Resource-Related Research Project (R24) mechanism, which is commonly used to support shared resources and infrastructure that enable research. This PRIP FOA runs in parallel with a related announcement, PAR-07-401, which covers similar scientific territory but is oriented toward short-term support for rising programs, also using the R24 mechanism. The existence of the parallel FOA signals that NIH is supporting infrastructure needs across different stages of center development, with this particular PRIP opportunity emphasizing established, highly productive, and influential population research centers.
For FY 2010, NICHD indicated an intention to commit approximately $1.9 million in total costs (including both direct costs and facilities and administrative, or F and A, costs) to awards made under this announcement. The agency anticipated making three to five awards, which could include new awards as well as renewals (formerly referred to as competing continuations). The stated award ceiling for a single award is $750,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of organizational types. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (including those other than institutions of higher education), Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with other eligible entities as clarified in the announcement. The FOA also explicitly notes inclusion of Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). Overall, the eligibility language suggests NIH wanted to keep the program accessible to a diverse range of institutions capable of running major population research infrastructure.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number RFA-HD-09-004, with an original and current closing date of November 24, 2009 (posted August 4, 2009), and an archive date of December 25, 2009. The CFDA number is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), and the activity category is listed under Health, Income Security and Social Services. Applicants were directed to the full announcement for complete requirements and were provided NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) contact support for technical access issues.
Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) FY10 (R24) FAQs
What is the PRIP FY10 (R24) funding opportunity?
The Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) FY10 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity administered by NICHD. It is designed to strengthen the underlying infrastructure of established population research centers by supporting shared resources, services, and organizational capacity rather than funding a single stand-alone research study.
Which NIH institute and program area is associated with PRIP?
PRIP is offered through NICHD (Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) and aligns with research areas relevant to the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) within NICHD's Center for Population Research.
Is PRIP meant to fund a specific research project or study?
No. The stated purpose is not to fund one research study. The intent is to invest in infrastructure and shared platforms that multiple investigators rely on, improving overall quality, efficiency, reach, and influence of population research conducted by established centers.
What kinds of activities does PRIP support?
PRIP supports infrastructure through three categories of "cores": Research Support Cores, Developmental Infrastructure Cores, and Public Infrastructure Cores. These cores cover shared services and resources, building new or stronger capabilities within a center, and resources that provide broader value to the wider population research community.
What are Research Support Cores?
Research Support Cores provide ongoing, center-wide services that directly enable research. Examples mentioned include shared methodological support, data management, statistical consulting, and other common resources used by multiple projects.
What are Developmental Infrastructure Cores?
Developmental Infrastructure Cores are intended to build or strengthen emerging capabilities inside a center. They can support developing new tools, methods, staffing, collaborations, or other foundational elements that position the center to pursue new directions or respond to evolving scientific needs.
What are Public Infrastructure Cores?
Public Infrastructure Cores focus on resources with value beyond a single center. They may include activities or assets accessible to the wider population research community, supporting dissemination, shared resources, or other public-facing infrastructure.
What application paths are available under this FOA?
There are two paths: (1) a Standard PRIP application and (2) a Public Infrastructure Only application. The Standard application may request Research Support Cores and/or Developmental Infrastructure Cores, and it may also include Public Infrastructure Cores. The Public Infrastructure Only application is limited to requesting only Public Infrastructure Core(s).
Can a Standard PRIP application include Public Infrastructure Cores?
Yes. A Standard PRIP application can include Public Infrastructure Cores in addition to Research Support and/or Developmental Infrastructure Cores, if the applicant proposes them.
What does the Public Infrastructure Only application allow?
