Opportunity Summary:
The Targeted Analyses of Jackson Heart Study Data (R01) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-13-007) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement that supports research teams interested in conducting focused analyses using existing data from the Jackson Heart Study. The core purpose is to fund external, topic-specific analytical working groups that will partner directly with Jackson Heart Study investigators to answer important questions about cardiovascular health and related conditions in African Americans. Rather than building a new cohort or launching new fieldwork, the program is designed to get more scientific value out of a uniquely rich dataset that has already been collected over many years.
The Jackson Heart Study itself is a large, community-based observational cohort that enrolled 5,301 African American adults living in Jackson, Mississippi. By the time awards under this announcement are made, the study dataset includes results from three in-person clinical examinations conducted across the 2000 to 2012 period, along with annual follow-up telephone interviews. That combination makes the resource especially valuable for studying both baseline risk factors and how health outcomes develop over time in a well-characterized population.
NHLBI indicates it expects to fund about five analytical working groups, each organized around a major health topic with strong relevance to cardiovascular disease and closely related conditions affecting African Americans. The announcement highlights priority areas that include, but are not limited to, hypertension; diabetes and obesity; physical activity and nutrition; heart failure; and chronic kidney disease. The intent is that each group will bring outside expertise and fresh perspectives while working collaboratively with the Jackson Heart Study research community, which can help ensure analyses are aligned with how the data were collected, how measures were defined, and how follow-up outcomes were ascertained.
A key constraint of this program is that it does not fund the collection of additional data. Applicants are expected to propose rigorous statistical and epidemiologic analyses using the existing Jackson Heart Study data already collected to date. In practical terms, the emphasis is on well-justified hypotheses, strong analytic plans, and clear public health or clinical significance, rather than on recruitment, new measurements, or adding new study visits.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant mechanism using the NIH R01 funding instrument. The opportunity was posted on November 3, 2011, created on January 11, 2012, with an original closing date of February 29, 2012, and a current closing date listed as March 9, 2012. The archive date is April 9, 2012, which signals the announcement is no longer active. The estimated total funding amount is $5,000,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations, such as state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); independent school districts; public housing authorities; and federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The eligibility language also explicitly includes categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
The awarding agency is the National Institutes of Health, with the program framed around NHLBI priorities, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research) and 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the "Targeted Analyses of Jackson Heart Study Data (R01)" opportunity?
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-13-007) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant announcement supporting research teams that want to conduct focused, topic-specific analyses using existing data from the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). It uses the NIH R01 grant mechanism and is intended to fund external analytical working groups that collaborate directly with JHS investigators.
What is the main purpose of this grant program?
The core purpose is to generate additional scientific value from the already-collected Jackson Heart Study dataset by funding rigorous analyses that address important questions about cardiovascular health and closely related conditions in African Americans. The program emphasizes targeted analyses rather than building a new cohort or conducting new fieldwork.
What is the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) dataset?
The Jackson Heart Study is a large, community-based observational cohort that enrolled 5,301 African American adults living in Jackson, Mississippi.

Why is the Jackson Heart Study considered a valuable resource for analysis?
Because it combines detailed clinical examination data (collected at multiple time points) with annual follow-up telephone interviews, the dataset supports analyses of baseline risk factors and the development of outcomes over time in a well-characterized African American population.
What types of research projects does this opportunity support?
It supports topic-specific analytical projects that use existing JHS data to answer significant questions related to cardiovascular disease and related conditions affecting African Americans. The emphasis is on well-justified hypotheses, rigorous statistical and epidemiologic methods, and clear clinical or public health significance.
