Opportunity Summary:
Selected Topics in Transfusion Medicine (R01) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-034) is a National Institutes of Health opportunity administered by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to support research that can directly shape and improve real-world blood banking and transfusion medicine practice. The central goal is to generate evidence that strengthens both the safety and the availability of the U.S. blood supply, an issue with broad public health impact given that roughly five million patients in the United States receive blood transfusions each year. The announcement emphasizes that transfusion is not risk-free, and it highlights the need for studies that clarify why adverse events occur and what can be done to reduce them, including both infectious complications and non-infectious harms.
From a research focus standpoint, NHLBI is looking for projects that identify determinants of transfusion-associated adverse outcomes and test or develop strategies to minimize risk to recipients. At the same time, the FOA recognizes that patient safety depends on a stable supply of blood products, so it also encourages work aimed at protecting donor health and improving donation systems. That includes reducing risks associated with the donation process itself and building better recruitment and retention approaches so that the blood supply remains adequate and resilient.
The funding mechanism is the NIH R01 Research Project Grant, which is typically used for substantial, hypothesis-driven projects with clearly defined aims and a strong scientific premise. This FOA is paired with a parallel announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R21 mechanism (PAR-10-033), which is generally oriented toward earlier-stage, exploratory, or high-risk/high-reward studies. Under PAR-10-034, the maximum project period is five years, and awards depend on the availability of funds as well as the number and quality of applications received.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations across the public, private, nonprofit, academic, and governmental landscape. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, special district governments, and U.S. territory or possession entities; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; and for-profit organizations (including small businesses, and also for-profits other than small businesses). The announcement also explicitly includes a wide range of mission- or population-focused institutions and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), tribal governments (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Notably, non-U.S. (foreign) organizations are also listed among eligible applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Administrative details: the opportunity was posted and created on November 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013. The activity falls under the health category and is associated with CFDA 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). For applicants or readers needing the full text, the FOA was hosted on the NIH grants site, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact was provided for access or linking issues.
