Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity PA 10 158, titled "Research on Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders (R01)," supports investigator-initiated research projects aimed at improving scientific and practical understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The central goal is to fund studies that clarify ASD causes and contributing factors (etiology), patterns and risk across populations (epidemiology), ways to identify ASD more accurately or earlier (diagnosis), approaches that improve outcomes (treatment), and the most effective methods for delivering services and supports in real-world settings (service delivery). The announcement explicitly welcomes a broad range of research styles, including basic science (for example, biological mechanisms), clinical research (work involving patients or clinical settings), and applied research (studies focused on interventions, systems of care, implementation, or community impact). This program is also framed as part of NIH's effort to advance the objectives laid out in the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) Strategic Plan for ASD Research, meaning proposed projects are expected to align with and contribute to those larger national research priorities.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is typically intended for more substantial, hypothesis-driven projects with a defined research plan and enough scope to support multi-year work. In practical terms, an R01 is commonly used when a project needs a full research team, extensive data collection, or multiple aims that build toward a meaningful advance in knowledge or practice. The FOA is paired with two parallel announcements that cover the same scientific scope but use different grant mechanisms: PA 10 159 (R03) and PA 10 160 (R21). Those companion mechanisms generally support smaller, more limited projects (R03) or exploratory, early-stage, or higher-risk concepts (R21), while the R01 is positioned for more mature, comprehensive studies.
Funding under this announcement is not guaranteed in a fixed amount or number of awards. Instead, NIH indicates that awards depend on the availability of appropriated funds and on how many applications are submitted that score well in peer review (in other words, the volume and quality of meritorious proposals). The listing shows that cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers barriers for applicants because they are not obligated to provide non-federal funds to receive an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types across the public, private, nonprofit, and educational sectors. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations (including small businesses), nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), public and private institutions of higher education, and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility language also extends to a wide set of mission-focused and community-based entities, including faith-based or community-based organizations, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized), U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) in addition to eligible federal agencies. This breadth signals NIH interest in encouraging ASD research and service-delivery studies across diverse settings and populations, not solely within major research universities.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by NIH and associated with multiple CFDA program areas, reflecting how autism research spans many domains (for example, environmental health, communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, mental health, nursing research, neuroscience/neurological disorders, and child health and human development). Key dates in the record indicate the opportunity was originally posted March 30, 2010, with closing dates listed around May 2013 and an archive date of June 1, 2013, meaning this specific FOA record reflects a past cycle rather than an open, current competition. The primary reference for full requirements and application instructions is the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts page associated with the FOA (PA 10 158), and NIH provides contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
