Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity RFA-AG-13-009, titled "Secondary Analyses and Archiving of Social and Behavioral Datasets in Aging (R03)," supports small, short-term projects that make better use of existing data resources in aging research. It uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is designed for focused studies that can be completed relatively quickly, and it funds projects for up to two years. The central idea is to strengthen aging research by either generating new findings from already-collected datasets or by preparing valuable datasets so other researchers can reuse them for additional discoveries.
This announcement specifically invites two broad types of projects. First, it encourages secondary analysis of aging-related data in social and behavioral domains, with emphasis on fields such as psychology, behavioral genetics, economics, and demography. In practice, that means applicants are expected to use existing datasets (rather than collect new data) to answer important questions about aging, later-life outcomes, and related behavioral or social processes. Secondary analyses can include testing new hypotheses, applying new statistical methods, linking data sources where feasible, or exploring understudied subgroups, as long as the work is grounded in aging-relevant scientific aims.
Second, the opportunity supports archiving and dissemination activities that make datasets usable and accessible for future secondary analysis. Projects in this category generally focus on organizing, documenting, and preparing data for sharing, which can include creating high-quality codebooks, metadata, and user documentation; cleaning and de-identifying data where required; establishing appropriate governance and access procedures; and depositing datasets into a repository or otherwise building a dissemination plan that enables responsible reuse. The overall goal is to reduce the friction that often prevents good datasets from being reused and to increase the long-term value of data that have already been collected.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity under the Health funding activity category, listed under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research). The program does not require cost sharing or matching. The total estimated funding for the announcement was about $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per project, reflecting the small-grant nature of the R03 mechanism and its emphasis on targeted, efficient research or data-preparation efforts.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S. organizations and governments, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) organizations), small businesses, for-profit entities other than small businesses, and a wide range of governmental units (state, county, city/township, special district). It also explicitly includes tribal organizations and tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts. In addition, the announcement lists multiple mission-focused categories as eligible, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, and foreign components are allowed consistent with the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning international participation is permitted when it is justified and compliant with NIH policy.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on August 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2013, and an archive date of March 17, 2013. While the solicitation is archived, the details illustrate how NIH (through its aging research portfolio) incentivizes efficient science: extracting additional knowledge from existing data and strengthening the research ecosystem by making datasets easier to find, understand, and reuse.
