Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Limited Competition Institutional Comparative Effectiveness Research Mentored Career Development Award (KM1) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity created with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding to quickly build national capacity in comparative effectiveness research (CER). The core aim is to help research-intensive institutions design and run structured, mentored career development programs that prepare a diverse pipeline of scholars to conduct high-quality CER. In practice, the program is meant to strengthen the workforce and training infrastructure needed to compare real-world benefits and risks of different clinical and public health interventions, with an emphasis on producing evidence that can improve health outcomes across varied patient populations.
This opportunity targets institutions rather than individual trainees. Applicant organizations are expected to create an interdisciplinary environment that supports mentored training for scholars from multiple backgrounds, specifically calling out fields like biostatistics, epidemiology, health economics, pharmacology, medicine, and dentistry, while leaving room for other relevant disciplines. The announcement also emphasizes serving the needs of diverse populations of scholars and encourages, when appropriate, scholars pursuing training under the program to enroll in higher degree programs. Another major expectation is that the institution will do real course development as part of the proposal, meaning applicants should not only place scholars into labs or projects, but also build or enhance formal curricula that teach CER methods and related skills.
A distinctive feature of this FOA is its explicit push to expand the pool of experienced CER mentors. Institutions are expected to address mentoring capacity, not just trainee support, so the program has a longer-term workforce development goal: create more faculty and senior investigators who can effectively mentor future cohorts in CER. Taken together, the training, curriculum development, and mentor development components align with NIHs broader mission of building capability in critical research areas.
The funding mechanism is the NIH KM1 award, described as ARRA-specific for this announcement. In terms of scale, NIH planned to commit up to $25,000,000 total under this FOA and anticipated making about eight to ten awards in fiscal year 2010, depending on the number and quality of applications. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is broad and includes many kinds of organizations: public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with distinctions noted), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, state governments, Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, and regional organizations. The announcement also highlights additional eligible applicant categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), signaling an interest in expanding CER training capacity across a wide range of institutions.
Key administrative details from the source information include the Funding Opportunity Number RFA-OD-10-011, categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area under Recovery Act authority, with CFDA number 93.701 (Trans-NIH Recovery Act Research Support). The opportunity was posted on January 13, 2010, with an application closing date of March 25, 2010, and an archive date of April 25, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the NIH, and the full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website under the referenced link.
