Opportunity Summary:
The NIH "Successor in Interest (Type 6 Parent)" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 12-269) is not a typical research competition for new project funding. It is an administrative pathway for organizations that already hold certain NIH research grants to request a formal change in the legal entity that will serve as the grantee organization. This kind of action is commonly needed when an institution undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or other change where the original awardee is replaced by a new or different organization that will assume responsibility for the active NIH award. In NIH terms, this is a "prior approval" request and is handled as a change of grantee organization (often called a Type 6 action). Instead of going through a scientific peer review process, the request is routed directly to the Grants Management Specialist identified on the current award for review and decision, consistent with the NIH Grants Policy Statement section on prior approvals (referenced in the notice as Section 8.1.2.8).
The scope of grants covered is broad because the FOA is connected to many NIH program areas and CFDA numbers spanning major biomedical and public health domains, including cancer, mental health, addiction, aging, cardiovascular and lung diseases, infectious diseases, genomics, environmental health, nursing research, child health, vision research, and others. The practical takeaway is that this FOA functions as a standardized mechanism NIH uses across multiple Institutes and Centers to process successor-in-interest requests for eligible award types listed in the full announcement, rather than being limited to a single disease area or research topic.
Eligibility is also broad and reflects the administrative nature of the request. A wide range of entities may be involved as the potential successor organization, including nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, school districts, public housing authorities, and regional organizations. The notice also makes clear that non-U.S. entities and foreign institutions may be eligible, and that foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed. This matters because some grants may move across borders in cases of institutional restructuring, or when a project’s administrative home changes to a foreign or multinational affiliate that meets NIH requirements.
From an applicant perspective, the "application" here is essentially a formal request package asking NIH to approve the transfer of the award to the successor organization. Because the request is treated as a prior approval action, the focus is on whether the new organization can assume all administrative, legal, and financial responsibilities of the grant, maintain compliance with NIH requirements, and continue the approved scope of work without interruption. Unlike a new grant application, the intent is continuity: NIH is being asked to recognize a new grantee organization as the party responsible for an already-funded award, not to evaluate a new research plan for funding.
Administrative details from the posting indicate it is a discretionary grant-related mechanism with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted August 24, 2012, with internal records showing a creation date of January 30, 2014, and it was time-limited, with a current closing date of February 28, 2014 and an archive date of March 28, 2014 (the original closing date listed was August 15, 2015, but the record shows the opportunity was archived in 2014). For the authoritative requirements, affected organizations are directed to the full FOA text at the NIH Guide link provided. If there are access or linking issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): NIH Successor in Interest (Type 6 Parent) - PA 12-269
1) What is the NIH "Successor in Interest (Type 6 Parent)" opportunity (PA 12-269)?
This opportunity is an administrative pathway used by NIH to process a formal change in the legal entity serving as the grantee organization on an active NIH award. It is not a typical competition for new research funding.
2) Is this a grant competition for new research project funding?
No. PA 12-269 is not designed to fund new projects. It is used when an organization already holds certain NIH research grants and needs NIH approval to transfer the award to a successor organization due to a legal or organizational change.
3) What does "Successor in Interest" mean in this context?
"Successor in Interest" refers to a new or different organization that replaces the original awardee and assumes responsibility for the active NIH award. This is commonly needed after a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or other institutional change.
4) What is a "Type 6" action?
In NIH terms, a "Type 6" action generally refers to a change of grantee organization. This is treated as a prior approval request rather than a competitive research application.
5) What does "prior approval" mean for this request?
A prior approval request is an action that requires NIH review and approval before it can take effect. For PA 12-269, the organization is asking NIH to approve the transfer of an existing award to a successor organization.
6) Will this request go through scientific peer review?
No. Instead of scientific peer review, the request is routed to the Grants Management Specialist identified on the current award for review and a decision.
7) Who reviews and decides on the successor-in-interest request?
The request is handled directly by the Grants Management Specialist listed on the current award, consistent with NIH prior approval policies referenced in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (the notice references Section 8.1.2.8).
8) What is the main purpose of submitting a request under this FOA?
The purpose is continuity. The request package asks NIH to recognize a new grantee organization as the responsible party for an already-funded award, so the project can continue without interruption under the approved scope of work.
9) What kinds of situations typically require a successor-in-interest request?
Common triggers include mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, or other changes where the original legal entity that received the award is replaced by a different organization that will assume responsibility for the grant.
10) Does this FOA apply to only one disease area or research topic?
No. The scope is broad and connected to many NIH program areas and CFDA numbers, covering major biomedical and public health domains (for example cancer, mental health, addiction, aging, heart/lung diseases, infectious diseases, genomics, environmental health, nursing research, child health, vision research, and others).
11) Why does the FOA list many program areas and CFDA numbers?
Because this mechanism is used across multiple NIH Institutes and Centers as a standardized way to process successor-in-interest requests for eligible award types, rather than being limited to a single program or topic area.
12) Who can be the successor organization (eligibility)?
Eligibility is broad. Potential successor organizations may include nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, school districts, public housing authorities, and regional organizations.

14) What is a "foreign component" in this context?
The posting notes that foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. (The specific definition is governed by NIH policy rather than the summary text.)
15) What does the "application" consist of for a successor-in-interest request?
From the applicant perspective, it is a formal request package seeking NIH approval to transfer the award to the successor organization. The emphasis is on administrative, legal, and financial responsibility rather than proposing a new research plan.
16) What does NIH evaluate when deciding whether to approve the change of grantee organization?
Based on the description provided, NIH focuses on whether the new organization can assume the administrative, legal, and financial responsibilities of the grant; maintain compliance with NIH requirements; and continue the approved scope of work without interruption.
17) Does the successor-in-interest request change the approved scope of work?
