Opportunity Summary:
The Research Project Grant (Parent R01), funding opportunity number PA 13 302, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant designed to support a single, clearly defined research project led by one or more named investigators. The core idea of the R01 mechanism is to fund a discrete, specified, and circumscribed study that reflects the investigators expertise and scientific direction. Projects submitted under this parent announcement must align with the programmatic priorities of at least one participating NIH Institute or Center (IC), meaning applicants are expected to frame their aims so they fit within the mission areas described by the relevant ICs.
This opportunity is broad in scope and can support research across many NIH-related fields, with listed activity areas spanning education, environment, food and nutrition, health, and income security and social services. The CFDA program areas associated with this announcement cover a wide range of biomedical, behavioral, and health services topics, including (among others) environmental health, oral health, human genome research, deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep disorders, mental health, alcohol and drug use research, technological innovations to improve human health, research infrastructure, nursing research, multiple areas of cancer research (from prevention through treatment and control), cardiovascular and lung diseases, blood disorders, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience and neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, microbiology, child health and development, aging, vision research, and medical library assistance. In practical terms, this breadth indicates that the parent R01 is meant as a general-purpose NIH research grant pathway when a project fits an NIH mission area but does not need a highly targeted, topic-specific funding announcement.
Eligibility is expansive and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with certain distinctions noted for institutions of higher education); small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The opportunity also explicitly recognizes eligibility for a range of institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may apply, and foreign components are allowed as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was posted and created on August 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016, indicating that this specific posting is no longer active for new submissions under those dates (though NIH parent announcements are often reissued under updated numbers over time). Applicants looking for details beyond the summary, including application instructions and institute-specific guidance, are directed to the full announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-302.html. For access or technical issues with the posting, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) provides support through the OER webmaster contact listed in the announcement.
