Opportunity Summary:

Technology Development for Protein Modeling (P01) is an NIH funding opportunity from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) focused on advancing the state of the art in protein structure prediction. The central goal is technology development: applicants are expected to propose new methods, tools, or approaches that can materially increase the accuracy of comparative (template-based) protein modeling. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at projects that tackle key limitations in predicting reliable 3D protein structures when experimental structures are unavailable, especially by improving the computational steps that connect sequence information to structural models.

This opportunity uses the P01 program project grant mechanism, which is specifically intended for coordinated, multi-project research efforts. Rather than supporting a single standalone project, a P01 supports several interdependent projects that are scientifically linked, where working as an integrated program produces clear advantages over funding each project separately. Applicants typically build a cohesive set of projects that share a common theme and mutually reinforce one another, for example by combining algorithm development, benchmarking and validation, data resources, and software engineering or dissemination components into one integrated program. The FOA notes that it runs in parallel with a separate announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R01 mechanism (PAR-10-076), giving investigators a choice between a single-project R01 approach and a multi-component P01 structure depending on how their research is organized.

Funding levels and the number of awards are not preset. NIGMS indicates that the total amount awarded will depend on the scientific merit of the submitted applications and on the availability of funds in the institute's general funding pool. Because proposed programs can differ widely in scale, complexity, duration, and cost, award sizes and project periods are expected to vary. The FOA also emphasizes that final award decisions will reflect the number, quality, duration, and budgets of the applications received, which is typical language for NIH opportunities where the institute does not commit to a fixed number of awards.

From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). It does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted and created on January 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2013, and it was archived on June 7, 2013. The funding opportunity number is PAR-10-075, and the sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health.

Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types across the public, private, nonprofit, and educational sectors. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exclusions), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also lists additional eligible applicant categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Native American tribal organizations (including both federally recognized and other than federally recognized, as specified), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Technology Development for Protein Modeling (P01) - PAR-10-075

What is the Technology Development for Protein Modeling (P01) funding opportunity?

Technology Development for Protein Modeling (P01) is an NIH funding opportunity sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). It focuses on advancing the state of the art in protein structure prediction, with an emphasis on technology development that improves comparative (template-based) protein modeling accuracy.

Which NIH institute is associated with this opportunity?

The sponsoring NIH institute is the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).

What is the main scientific goal of this FOA?

The central goal is to develop new technology that can materially increase the accuracy of comparative (template-based) protein modeling. The opportunity targets improvements in computational steps that connect protein sequence information to reliable 3D structural models, particularly when experimental structures are not available.

What kind of work does NIGMS expect applicants to propose?

Applicants are expected to propose new methods, tools, or approaches that improve comparative protein modeling. The emphasis is on technology development that addresses key limitations in predicting reliable 3D protein structures when experimental structures are unavailable.

What grant mechanism does this opportunity use?

This opportunity uses the P01 program project grant mechanism.

What does a P01 program project grant support?

A P01 supports a coordinated, multi-project research effort rather than a single standalone project. It is intended for several interdependent projects that are scientifically linked, where running the work as an integrated program provides clear advantages over funding the projects separately.

How should projects within a P01 be organized?

Projects are expected to be scientifically linked and mutually reinforcing under a common theme. The FOA indicates that applicants typically build a cohesive set of projects that work better together as a program than as separate awards.

What are examples of components that could be included in an integrated P01 program?

The FOA provides examples such as combining algorithm development, benchmarking and validation, data resources, and software engineering or dissemination components into one integrated program.

Is there an alternative NIH mechanism with the same scientific scope?

Yes. The FOA notes it runs in parallel with a separate announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R01 mechanism (PAR-10-076). This offers investigators a choice between a single-project R01 approach and a multi-component P01 approach depending on how their research is organized.
