Successor-in-Interest (Type 6 Parent) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIH funding opportunity titled "Successor-in-Interest (Type 6 Parent)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 16-286) is not a typical grant competition for new research projects. Instead, it provides a formal mechanism for an organization that already holds certain active NIH research grants (the eligible grant types are specified in the full FOA) to request a change in the legal grantee organization. This kind of request is commonly called a "successor-in-interest" action and usually comes up when there is an institutional change such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or other legal transaction where one organization assumes the rights and responsibilities of another.

In practice, this opportunity functions as a pathway to submit a prior approval request to NIH to transfer an existing award from the current recipient organization to a new organization that will become the successor entity. NIH treats these requests as prior approvals under the NIH Grants Policy Statement (specifically the section referenced in the announcement, 8.1.2.8). Because it is a prior approval action, the request does not go through standard peer review like a research application would. Instead, it is routed directly to the Grants Management Specialist associated with the active award, meaning the administrative grants management staff for that specific grant will handle the review and decision process.

A key point of the announcement is that submission through this FOA does not guarantee approval. Even if the organizations believe a successor relationship exists, NIH retains full discretion to approve or deny the change of grantee organization. The agency will consider whether the proposed new organization can properly assume all programmatic, administrative, and financial responsibilities tied to the award, along with compliance obligations that come with NIH funding. The notice also strongly encourages applicants to discuss the potential request with the awarding NIH Institute or Center before submitting, which reflects that these requests are highly situational and usually benefit from early coordination with the program and grants management offices.

The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (listed as HHS-NIH11). It is categorized as a discretionary grant action and spans a wide set of NIH CFDA numbers, indicating it can apply across many NIH programs and institutes as long as the underlying award mechanism is one of the types covered by the FOA. Eligibility is broad and includes many kinds of organizations that commonly hold NIH awards, such as state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses); and small businesses, with a note that additional eligibility details are clarified in the FOA text.

Administrative timing information shows the FOA was created and posted on May 25, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2019. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or expected number of awards, which makes sense given the nature of the action: these are not new awards being made, but requests to change the recipient organization for existing awards, and the decision depends on the specific circumstances of each transfer request and the status of the underlying grant.
