Opportunity Summary:
The Self Management for Health in Chronic Conditions (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 14-344) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant program designed to expand and strengthen the science of self-management across a wide range of chronic illnesses and long-term health conditions. The underlying idea is that chronic conditions represent one of the most pressing health challenges in the United States, and that progress will require coordinated, cross-cutting approaches rather than isolated efforts focused on single diseases. In line with recommendations highlighted by the Institute of Medicine, this initiative encourages research that treats self-management as a mainstream, rigorous scientific area capable of reducing the overall burden of chronic disease on individuals, families, health systems, and communities.
In this FOA, self-management is framed broadly as the ongoing capacity of an individual, working together with family members, community supports, and healthcare professionals, to handle the day-to-day realities of living with a chronic condition. That includes managing symptoms and physical limitations, adhering to and adjusting treatments, making and sustaining lifestyle changes, and responding to the psychosocial effects of chronic illness. The announcement explicitly recognizes that self-management is not only medical or behavioral, but also shaped by cultural, spiritual, and social contexts, which means strong applications may address how these factors affect engagement, outcomes, and the practicality of interventions in real-world settings.
The funding mechanism is the NIH R01 (Research Project Grant), which generally supports hypothesis-driven or well-justified programmatic research projects with clear aims, measurable outcomes, and a coherent plan for analysis and dissemination. The activity areas connected to this FOA span education and health, and the CFDA program listings tied to it reflect the multi-institute nature of self-management research, including research related to deafness and communication disorders (93.173), nursing research (93.361), and aging research (93.866). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility is broad and inclusive, covering many organization types across sectors. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and eligible federal agencies. The FOA also welcomes applications from tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts. In addition, it explicitly identifies a wide range of mission- and population-focused institutions and organizations as eligible, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and regional organizations.
A notable feature of this announcement is the openness to international participation. Non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may also apply. Foreign components, as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed, which signals an interest in learning from diverse health systems and cultural settings when studying how people manage chronic illness over time.
Administratively, the FOA was posted in September 2014 and remained open through early January 2018, with an archive date in February 2018. While that means this specific announcement is no longer active for new submissions, it remains a useful reference point for understanding NIH priorities and expectations for cross-condition self-management research and for locating related or successor NIH funding opportunities. The full archived announcement is available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-344.html, and the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact listed in the notice is FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV for access or linking issues.
Overall, the central message of PA 14-344 is that improving outcomes in chronic illness is not only about new clinical treatments, but also about empowering and enabling individuals to manage complex, long-term health demands in everyday life. The initiative pushes the field toward generalizable knowledge, scalable interventions, and coordinated strategies that can apply across conditions and populations, with attention to real-world factors like family support, community resources, communication needs, and cultural context.
