Opportunity Summary:
The Skin Diseases Research Core Centers (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AR-14-001) was a discretionary NIH grant program issued by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) to support centralized research infrastructure in skin biology and skin disease. The program’s purpose was to fund Skin Diseases Research Core Centers (SDRCs) that could offer shared facilities, services, and technical expertise to a community of established investigators who already held active research funding in relevant areas. The main idea behind the mechanism was to reduce duplication across individual labs, improve cost-efficiency, raise overall productivity, and speed up the pace of discovery by making high-quality, specialized resources available through a coordinated center structure rather than through many separate smaller efforts.
These awards used the NIH P30 “Research Core Center†model, which is designed specifically to strengthen an institution’s or consortium’s capacity to support groups of investigators through cores (for example, shared instrumentation, specialized assays, biostatistics support, clinical or translational resources, specimen processing, imaging, bioinformatics, or other centralized capabilities tailored to skin research). In practical terms, NIAMS was looking for applications where multiple currently funded researchers would clearly benefit from shared cores, and where the center’s organization would create measurable gains in efficiency and scientific output. The SDRC concept emphasized service to an existing, productive research base rather than simply funding individual projects, meaning the value proposition rested on how well the cores would enable and enhance the research of participating investigators working on skin biology and disease-related scientific problems.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was categorized under the Health funding activity area (CFDA 93.846, Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research). The funding instrument type was a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listed award ceiling was $400,000, indicating the maximum anticipated amount per award as presented in the summary data for the announcement. Key timeline details in the source listing show the opportunity was posted and created on January 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 20, 2013, and an archive date of October 21, 2013, reflecting that the announcement is no longer open for applications.
Eligibility was broad across many U.S.-based organization types, including state and local governments, special district governments, county and city/township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (with small businesses explicitly listed and other for-profits also included). Additional eligible applicants called out in the summary include a wide range of institution types and community-focused entities, 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 or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excluded non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations from applying as applicants; however, “foreign components†as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement were allowed, which generally means a U.S. applicant organization could include certain foreign elements in the project under NIH rules even though a foreign institution could not serve as the applicant.
The sponsoring agency for the program was the National Institutes of Health, with NIAMS as the institute inviting applications and overseeing the scientific focus on skin biology and skin diseases. The announcement provided an official NIH link for the full funding opportunity text (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AR-14-001.html) and listed NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for technical difficulties accessing or linking to the announcement (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
