Opportunity Summary:
The Pre-application Opportunities for Collaborative Research at the NIH Clinical Center (X02) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-357) is designed to help investigators and their institutions explore and plan collaborative, translational research projects that can be carried out with the unique resources of the NIH Clinical Center. The core purpose is to strengthen the pipeline from basic biological discovery to real-world clinical impact by supporting early, relationship-building and project-shaping activities that position teams to pursue larger, full research applications later. The program emphasizes collaborations that are clearly aligned with the priorities of participating NIH Institutes and Centers and that have a credible path toward improving human health through better understanding of disease mechanisms or the development of new interventions.
Scientifically, the opportunity is oriented toward high-quality translational research, meaning projects that sit at the interface between laboratory or discovery science and clinical application. Competitive concepts under this program are expected to show clear potential to deepen understanding of an important disease process and/or to move toward tangible clinical products or strategies, such as novel therapeutics, improved diagnostics, or prevention approaches. The breadth of NIH participation is reflected in the wide range of CFDA program areas listed, spanning cancer research (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control), cardiovascular, lung, blood, diabetes and kidney diseases, neurological disorders and neuroscience, mental health, alcohol and substance use, allergy and infectious diseases, human genome research, child health, sleep disorders, communication disorders, oral health, and technology innovations to improve health, among others. In practical terms, this means proposals can cover many disease and research domains as long as the work is translational in intent and fits the interests and priorities of the relevant NIH Institute/Center partners.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism categorized under education, health, and income security/social services-related activity areas. It does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is broad and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district), as well as independent school districts and certain housing authorities. The announcement explicitly includes a wide range of mission-serving institutions and community-based entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Notably, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may also apply; foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. This broad eligibility reflects NIH interest in assembling the strongest collaborative teams regardless of sector, and in enabling partnerships that can effectively leverage the Clinical Center environment.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on September 20, 2013, with an original closing date of November 20, 2014, and a subsequent current closing date of December 10, 2014. The archive date is January 10, 2015, indicating that this particular announcement cycle is no longer active, though it may have successors or related NIH Clinical Center collaborative mechanisms. For applicants who needed the full announcement details, NIH provided an official link to the NIH Grants Guide notice and offered support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Overall, PAR-13-357 (X02) is best understood as an NIH Clinical Center-focused pre-application planning and collaboration opportunity aimed at accelerating translational projects. It encourages teams to bring forward strong, clinically relevant scientific ideas with a realistic path toward improving diagnosis, prevention, or treatment, while making it easier to form or deepen collaborations that align with NIH Institute/Center priorities and can later be advanced through more comprehensive research grant applications.
