Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Revision Requests for Active Alzheimers Disease Core Centers (P30)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13-342), was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute on Aging (NIA). It is a discretionary grant program in the health research area and is tied to CFDA 93.866, Aging Research. The announcement was posted on August 30, 2013, and it ultimately closed on January 7, 2017, with an archive date of February 7, 2017. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The purpose of the opportunity was to invite "revision applications," which were formerly referred to as competing supplements, from institutions that already held an active NIA-supported Alzheimers Disease Core Center award under the P30 mechanism. In practical terms, this was not a call for brand-new Alzheimers Disease Core Centers. Instead, it was a way for currently funded NIA Alzheimers Disease Core Centers to request additional support to expand or adjust the work already being done under their existing center grant. The central theme is expansion of scope, allowing centers to build on established infrastructure and capabilities rather than starting from scratch.
The revisions envisioned under this announcement could take a couple of forms. A center could propose creating a new core, which typically means establishing a new shared resource, service, or centralized function that supports multiple research projects and investigators within the center. Alternatively, a center could propose changes to an existing core, such as modifying the services it provides, adding new capabilities, or otherwise updating the core to address evolving scientific needs in Alzheimers disease research. The mechanism is meant to strengthen and broaden the center's capacity, usually by enhancing shared resources that improve efficiency, collaboration, and scientific output across the center.
One important constraint is that any revision request had to fit within the life of the parent P30 award. The announcement explicitly states that revision applications may not request support beyond the end date of the parent P30. That means the additional activities, new core creation, or core modifications had to be planned and budgeted so they could be completed during the remaining active period of the current Alzheimers Disease Core Center grant, rather than extending the overall project period.
Eligibility was limited to entities that already had an ongoing NIA-supported Alzheimers Disease Core Center (P30) grant, since the entire premise is revising and expanding an existing award. Foreign institutions were not eligible to apply. In addition, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not allowed. In other words, the program was intended to support U.S.-based center infrastructure and activities without foreign components.
For applicants or interested parties needing the official notice, NIH provided an additional information link to the full announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-342.html. NIH also listed contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), indicating that questions about electronic access rather than scientific scope were routed through that channel.
