Opportunity Summary:

The Technology Development for Protein Modeling (R01) funding opportunity (PAR-10-076) is a discretionary NIH grant program administered through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). Its central goal is to support research projects that create new technologies capable of substantially improving the accuracy of comparative (template-based) protein structure modeling. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at methods development that makes predicted protein structures more reliable when researchers are inferring a protein's 3D shape from related proteins with known structures, which is a foundational technique used across basic biology and biomedical research.

Awards are made using the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning applicants are expected to propose a clearly defined, hypothesis-driven or technology-driven research plan suitable for a standard, investigator-initiated research project. This R01 announcement is explicitly paired with a parallel opportunity of the same scientific scope that uses the P01 mechanism (PAR-10-075), which is generally designed for larger, multi-project program grants. Applicants whose work fits a single cohesive research project would typically align with the R01, while larger coordinated efforts might consider the P01 counterpart.

The program does not set a fixed award size, project period, or number of awards in advance. Instead, NIH indicates that budgets, durations, and the total number of funded projects will vary depending on what is proposed and on the usual NIH considerations: scientific merit, scope, requested costs, and overall application quality. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is consistent with many NIH research grant opportunities.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and multiple categories of government entities (city/township, county, state, special district). The announcement also explicitly includes groups such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, tribal governments and tribal organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and foreign organizations (non-U.S. entities). In short, NIH is signaling that it wants the strongest technology-development ideas regardless of institutional type, as long as the applicant organization is eligible and can carry out the work.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on January 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013, meaning it is no longer open for new submissions under this specific announcement. The activity aligns with CFDA 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training), and the full archived announcement was hosted through the NIH Grants Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Technology Development for Protein Modeling (R01) opportunity (PAR-10-076)?

PAR-10-076 is an NIH discretionary grant opportunity using the R01 mechanism, administered through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). It supports research projects focused on developing new technologies to substantially improve the accuracy of comparative (template-based) protein structure modeling.

Which NIH institute administers this funding opportunity?

The program is administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).

What is the main scientific goal of this program?

The central goal is to support methods and technology development that makes comparative (template-based) protein structure predictions more accurate and reliable, especially when inferring a protein's 3D structure from related proteins with known structures.

What type of protein modeling is specifically targeted?

This opportunity specifically targets comparative (template-based) protein structure modeling (also described as template-based modeling).

What is meant by "comparative (template-based) protein structure modeling" in this context?

In this context, it refers to predicting a protein's 3D shape by using one or more related proteins with experimentally determined structures as templates, and improving the technology so those predictions are more reliable.

What grant mechanism is used for awards under PAR-10-076?

Awards are made using the NIH R01 mechanism, intended for a clearly defined, investigator-initiated research project with a hypothesis-driven or technology-driven research plan.

Is this opportunity connected to any other NIH funding announcement?

Yes. PAR-10-076 is explicitly paired with a parallel opportunity of the same scientific scope that uses the P01 mechanism: PAR-10-075.

How should an applicant decide between the R01 (PAR-10-076) and the P01 (PAR-10-075)?

Based on the description provided, projects that fit a single cohesive research effort would typically align with the R01, while larger coordinated efforts may be more appropriate for the P01 counterpart.

Does the program set a fixed award size?

No. The program does not set a fixed award size in advance. Budgets vary depending on what is proposed and standard NIH considerations such as scientific merit, scope, requested costs, and overall application quality.
