Opportunity Summary:
The Small Grant Program for NIDDK K08/K23 Recipients (R03), funding opportunity number PAR-06-172, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), reissued in partnership with the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). The core purpose of the program is to give researchers who are already supported by NIDDK career development awards (specifically the K08 and K23 mechanisms) an added, time-limited source of research funding that can be layered on top of their existing K award. In practical terms, it is meant to strengthen the investigator's research trajectory during the later stage of mentored career development, when the focus is shifting from mentored training to building the evidence and experience needed to compete successfully for independent research support.
This opportunity uses the NIH Small Grant (R03) mechanism and is structured so that the R03 project runs concurrently with the latter years of the K08 or K23. The program allows up to $50,000 per year for up to two years, which effectively provides as much as $100,000 total in additional research development costs. The emphasis is on bolstering the awardee's ability to conduct and complete meaningful research activities while still under the umbrella of their K award, helping them generate preliminary data, refine methods, or complete focused studies that make the next step to independent investigator status more realistic and competitive. The scientific scope aligns with NIDDK's mission areas, reflected in the associated CFDA listing (93.847) covering diabetes, digestive, and kidney diseases, and it is categorized under food and nutrition and health as the funding activity area.
Eligibility is tightly restricted to a specific subset of investigators: applicants must be current NIDDK-supported K08 or K23 recipients and must have at least two years remaining in the K award project period at the time of application, since the R03 is intended to overlap with those remaining years. While a range of domestic organization types are listed as eligible applicants, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), the key eligibility gate is the investigator's active NIDDK K08 or K23 status with sufficient remaining time. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply, reinforcing the domestic focus of the program. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was originally posted March 9, 2006, with multiple receipt dates, and it remained open through a series of receipt cycles until the final listed closing date of September 7, 2009, with an archive date of October 7, 2009. Applicants seeking the full details were directed to the NIH Guide announcement page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-172.html). For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the notice provided the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
