Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Secondary Analyses in Obesity, Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (R21)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-131), was offered by the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), in partnership with the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). The program is designed to fund research projects that do not require collecting new primary data, but instead focus on analyzing data that already exist. The central idea is to help investigators ask fresh, innovative questions and test new hypotheses by leveraging established datasets, which can make studies faster to launch, more cost-effective, and capable of generating useful results without the delays and expenses associated with new recruitment and data collection.
The scientific scope is broad but clearly centered on NIDDK and ODS priorities. Supported projects are expected to be relevant to diabetes, endocrine disorders, and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases; nutrition-related topics including obesity and eating disorders; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases. In practical terms, this could include secondary analyses of clinical trial datasets, large observational cohorts, electronic health record-derived datasets, disease registries, or national health surveys, as long as the work is aimed at producing new knowledge rather than simply re-reporting known findings. The emphasis on "innovative hypotheses" signals that the program is looking for analyses that move the field forward, such as identifying new risk factors, clarifying mechanisms, discovering subgroup effects, evaluating dietary supplement exposures or nutrient status in relation to outcomes, or exploring patterns that were not part of the original study aims.
The funding mechanism is an NIH R21, which is typically used for exploratory or developmental research. Consistent with that structure, awards under this opportunity had an upper funding limit (award ceiling) of $200,000. The opportunity fell under a discretionary grant category, with a funding activity area listed as food and nutrition and health, and it was associated with CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was intentionally expansive and included many types of organizations. Eligible applicants included state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based and community-based organizations); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); and additional institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The eligibility language also noted that non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations), regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions could apply, reflecting NIH's common approach of allowing a wide research community to participate when the scientific aims align.
In terms of timing, this announcement was posted and created on March 13, 2009, with a closing date of May 7, 2012, and an archive date of June 7, 2012. The sponsor agency was the National Institutes of Health. Applicants and interested parties were directed to the full announcement for complete requirements and instructions via the NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-09-131.html). For access or technical problems with the electronic posting or links, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, the opportunity was meant to accelerate discovery in obesity, diabetes, nutrition, digestive, kidney, urologic, and related hematologic research by encouraging creative, well-justified secondary analyses of existing datasets. It supported investigators who could convincingly show that the data source was appropriate for the proposed questions, that the planned analyses were rigorous and feasible within an R21 scope, and that the work would produce meaningful new insights relevant to NIDDK and ODS mission areas.
