Opportunity Summary:

The Stimulating Hematology Investigation New Endeavors (SHINE) (R01) funding opportunity (PAS 10-046) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative led by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) designed to accelerate innovative, high-quality research in hematology that aligns with NIDDKs mission. The main goal is to push the field forward by encouraging investigator-initiated projects that address especially timely needs and promising opportunities in both basic and translational hematology. In other words, the program is meant to help researchers tackle emerging or particularly important questions in blood-related biology and disease where progress seems achievable and impactful.

SHINE uses the NIH R01 mechanism, which is the standard, full-scale Research Project Grant meant to support well-developed research ideas with strong scientific rationale and a clear plan for execution. Because it is an R01, applicants are generally expected to propose a substantial and coherent project with defined aims, rigorous methods, and a convincing approach for generating meaningful results. The emphasis on basic and translational work signals that applications can range from fundamental discovery science (for example, mechanisms of blood cell development or regulation) to research that bridges toward clinical relevance (for example, studies that clarify disease pathways, identify therapeutic targets, or develop enabling tools that may later support clinical studies).

A key feature of SHINE is that the specific topic areas of interest are not fixed forever. NIDDK indicates that the targeted hematology research areas supported under SHINE will be updated annually through the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts. This structure allows the program to stay responsive to scientific advances and shifting gaps in knowledge, and it also means prospective applicants should check the most current NIH Guide notices for the latest list of priority topics and any updated expectations.

In terms of funding scope, NIDDK set aside an estimated total of $1,250,000 in fiscal year 2010 to support approximately 3 to 4 awards under this announcement, and these awards are described as being in addition to projects funded under NIDDKs regular funding policies. Funding in later years was not guaranteed and would depend on the availability of funds, with updates to be provided through NIH Guide notices. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument type. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), reflecting the administering institutes broader mission area even though the scientific focus here is hematology. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organization types. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district), as well as independent school districts and certain housing authorities. The eligibility list also explicitly includes several institution and community categories often highlighted in federal opportunities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Native American tribal governments (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions. Notably, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) and regional organizations are also included, indicating that international or multinational participation could be permissible under the terms described, subject to NIH policies and the specific FOA requirements.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on December 4, 2009. The original closing date and the listed current closing date were January 7, 2013, and the archive date was February 7, 2013, meaning it is no longer active as a current competition but remains part of the historical record. Applicants or interested parties were directed to the full announcement page hosted on the NIH grants site, and technical access issues were routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
