Opportunity Summary:
The Prevention and Treatment of Obesity, Diabetes, and Chronic Kidney Disease in Military Populations (R01) funding opportunity (PAR-12-048) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement aimed at supporting Research Project Grant (R01) studies focused on preventing and treating three major, interrelated health conditions: obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. The central emphasis is on military-connected communities, specifically active duty service members, retired military personnel, and their family members. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to stimulate well-powered, hypothesis-driven research that can generate actionable evidence for reducing disease risk, improving clinical outcomes, and addressing the unique exposures, lifestyles, and health care contexts that can shape metabolic and kidney health in military populations.
This announcement uses the R01 mechanism, which generally supports mature research ideas with clear aims, strong preliminary or supporting evidence, and a plan that can produce publishable, generalizable findings. The subject matter falls under NIH’s health and nutrition-related research areas, with catalog listings that include 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). No cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants are not expected to provide a defined portion of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of receiving the award.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations that commonly apply for NIH research funding. Eligible entities include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status; state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized) and tribal organizations; small businesses and certain for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and various regional organizations. The announcement also explicitly recognizes several categories often highlighted in federal eligibility language, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations, along with eligible agencies of the federal government and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, it clearly limits eligibility to domestic applicants: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components, as defined by NIH policy, are not allowed under this opportunity.
Key timeline details show that the opportunity was posted on December 1, 2011, created on December 21, 2011, and remained open through an original and current closing date of October 15, 2014, with an archive date of November 15, 2014. In other words, it was an active announcement for a defined period and is now archived, which matters for anyone looking for current funding because it indicates applicants would need to look for a newer or related NIH funding announcement to apply today.
For applicants or institutions trying to locate the full requirements, application instructions, and any institute-specific priorities, the announcement points to the NIH grants guide page at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-048.html. For access or technical problems with the posting, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, which is meant for assistance in reaching or linking to the announcement rather than scientific or programmatic guidance.
