Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, PAR-13-175, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement that specifically solicits revision (often called competing revision) applications to existing, currently funded NIH P01 Program Project grants. The purpose is not to fund brand-new standalone P01s, but to allow active P01 awardees to expand their ongoing program with an added project that meaningfully extends the parent program while staying aligned with its central scientific theme.
The scientific focus is early cancer detection and diagnosis, with a clear emphasis on approaches that deliberately combine imaging technologies with biomarker strategies. NIH is looking for proposals that integrate multi-modality imaging (for example, combining different imaging platforms or contrasts to improve sensitivity and specificity) together with multiplexed biomarker methodologies (approaches that measure multiple biomarkers at once, such as panels of proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, or other molecular signals). The underlying idea is that pairing what imaging can show at the tissue or organ level with what biomarkers can reveal at the molecular level could substantially improve screening performance, detect cancers earlier, reduce false positives, and sharpen diagnostic decision-making.
A key structural requirement is that the revision must correspond to an additional project that expands the scope of the parent P01 Program Project. In practical terms, the revision is expected to add a new, well-defined research component rather than simply providing more money for work already approved under the original award. At the same time, NIH underscores that the new project must remain relevant to the overall focus of the existing P01; this is meant to preserve the coherence and integrated nature of the program project mechanism, where multiple projects and cores work together around a shared objective.
From an administrative standpoint, the announcement is categorized as a grant in the health/education domain and is tied to CFDA 93.394 (Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research). The award ceiling listed is $150,000, and the announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted on April 11, 2013, with an application closing date of July 10, 2013, and it was archived on August 10, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited call.
Eligibility is broad across many U.S.-based organizational types, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed as eligible as well), and a wide range of governmental entities (state, county, city/township, special districts). The eligibility section also highlights inclusion of various institution types such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and AANAPISI organizations, as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, which typically means certain scientifically justified collaborations or elements may be permissible if they meet NIH policy requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is PAR-13-175?
PAR-13-175 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement that solicits revision applications (often called competing revisions) to existing, currently funded NIH P01 Program Project grants.
2) Is this opportunity meant for brand-new P01 Program Project applications?
No. This opportunity is not intended to fund brand-new standalone P01s. It is specifically for applicants who already have an active, currently funded NIH P01 award and want to submit a revision to expand that existing program.
3) What kind of application does NIH want under this announcement?
NIH is looking for a revision application that adds an additional project to an existing P01 Program Project grant. The revision should introduce a new, well-defined research component rather than simply requesting additional funds to continue or enlarge work that was already approved under the parent award.
4) What is the primary scientific focus area?
The scientific focus is early cancer detection and diagnosis, with an emphasis on approaches that deliberately combine imaging technologies with biomarker strategies.
5) What does NIH mean by integrating imaging and biomarker strategies?
The intent is to pair what imaging can show at the tissue or organ level with what biomarkers can reveal at the molecular level, with the goal of improving screening performance, enabling earlier detection, reducing false positives, and improving diagnostic decision-making.
6) What types of imaging approaches are encouraged?
The announcement emphasizes multi-modality imaging, such as combining different imaging platforms or contrasts to improve sensitivity and specificity.
7) What types of biomarker approaches are encouraged?

9) Does the new project have to align with the parent P01?
Yes. NIH underscores that the added project must remain relevant to the overall focus of the existing P01 and stay aligned with the program's central scientific theme, preserving the integrated nature of the program project mechanism.
10) What is the CFDA number associated with this opportunity?
