Opportunity Summary:
The Studies at Periviable Gestation (R01) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15-200) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding announcement designed to support projects that strengthen the scientific evidence needed to guide clinical care at the edges of viability in pregnancy. The central goal is to fund rigorous research that can inform therapies, management strategies, and treatment decisions for pregnant people and their infants when delivery is occurring at periviable gestational ages, a period where outcomes can vary dramatically and where clinical decision-making is often complex, time-sensitive, and influenced by limited or inconsistent evidence.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for substantial, hypothesis-driven or well-justified research projects that can generate impactful findings. The funded work is expected to build an evidence base that clinicians and health systems can use when making decisions about obstetric and neonatal interventions around periviability, such as approaches to maternal management before and during extremely preterm delivery, neonatal resuscitation and intensive care practices, and other clinical strategies aimed at improving survival and short- and long-term outcomes for infants while also considering maternal health and safety. In practical terms, the FOA emphasizes research that can clarify what works, for whom, and under what circumstances, helping to reduce uncertainty in a clinical setting where both risks and potential benefits are high.
Administratively, the program falls under the broad federal activity area of Health, Income Security, and Social Services, and is associated with CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). It is a discretionary grant program with no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of award. The announcement was posted and created on May 4, 2015. The original closing date and the final closing date were both September 7, 2018, and the opportunity was archived on October 8, 2018, indicating it is no longer open for new applications under that specific announcement, though similar NIH opportunities in maternal-fetal and neonatal research may exist under newer FOAs.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly apply for NIH research funding. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Tribal eligibility is also specifically included, covering federally recognized tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations. The FOA additionally notes eligibility for a range of specialized institutions and entities, including 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). Faith-based and community-based organizations are included, as are regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Importantly, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are listed as eligible as well, reflecting NIH practices that sometimes allow international participation when scientifically justified and aligned with program rules.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed access to the full announcement details, NIH provided an official online link to the FOA at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-200.html. The contact path included the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical issues accessing the announcement or resolving linking problems, using the email address FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, PA 15-200 aimed to push the field toward clearer, evidence-based guidance for one of the most challenging areas in perinatal medicine: care decisions and interventions when birth is imminent or occurring at periviable gestational ages, where both maternal considerations and neonatal outcomes must be weighed carefully and where stronger data can directly influence standards of care and counseling practices.
