Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Secondary Analyses and Archiving of Social and Behavioral Datasets in Aging (R03)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AG-13-004) is a discretionary grant program offered by the National Institutes of Health under the aging research CFDA listing 93.866. It uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is meant for small, focused projects, and in this case it is structured as a one-year award. The core goal is to support research that makes strong use of existing resources rather than collecting new data, either by conducting rigorous secondary analyses of already-available datasets on aging or by preparing valuable social and behavioral aging datasets for archiving and broader dissemination so other researchers can use them.
The FOA emphasizes two main types of projects. First, it invites secondary analysis studies that use existing data to answer meaningful questions about aging, particularly in disciplines such as psychology, behavioral genetics, economics, and demography. This category is aimed at investigators who can leverage high-quality datasets to generate new findings, test hypotheses, refine measurement approaches, or examine relationships and trends relevant to aging without the time and cost associated with new data collection. Second, it supports projects focused on archiving and dissemination, meaning activities that organize, document, preserve, and make aging-related datasets accessible to the research community. That can include preparing datasets for deposit in appropriate repositories, improving documentation and metadata, addressing issues of confidentiality or data use agreements, and generally increasing a dataset's usability and long-term value.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $50,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted on July 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 19, 2012, and an archive date of November 19, 2012. As a one-year R03, this opportunity is geared toward discrete, achievable aims that can realistically be completed within a short period, which generally means narrowly defined analyses with a clear plan and feasible deliverables, or well-scoped archiving efforts that culminate in a dataset being responsibly shared and usable by others.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit structures), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. It also includes multiple levels of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly recognizes a wide range of additional eligible applicants, including faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal government agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and several categories of minority-serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), and Native American tribal governments (including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities). Notably, non-U.S. entities are eligible to apply as foreign institutions, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may apply as well; foreign components are allowed consistent with NIH policy, which signals that the program is open to internationally relevant datasets and research questions as long as they align with NIH requirements.
Overall, this FOA is designed for researchers and organizations that can produce high-value outputs quickly by either extracting new scientific insights from existing social and behavioral data about aging or by strengthening the broader research ecosystem through careful data stewardship and sharing. The program fits applicants who already have access to relevant datasets, can articulate a strong analytic plan or a concrete archiving workflow, and can demonstrate how the proposed work will advance understanding of aging or expand the availability and usability of aging-related data for the field.
