Opportunity Summary:
The Health of Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Populations (R15), funding opportunity number PA 15-260, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program aimed at expanding what is known about the health of sexual and gender minority populations and improving how health interventions and services work for these communities. The core purpose is to strengthen scientific understanding of health status, risk factors, and health outcomes in groups that have often been understudied, especially when those groups may have distinctive health risk profiles. In practice, this announcement is meant to encourage rigorous research that helps close knowledge gaps and supports more effective prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and health services for people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex, and related SGM communities.
This FOA supports a broad range of research approaches as long as they align with the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers. That means applicants can propose basic research (for example, studies that explore underlying biological or physiological mechanisms relevant to health), as well as social, behavioral, and clinical research (such as examining mental health outcomes, substance use patterns, or barriers to clinical care). Services research is also in scope, including studies focused on the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of health services used by SGM populations. The opportunity is not limited to one disease area; instead, it spans many NIH program interests, with the listed CFDA areas covering topics such as oral health, communication disorders, mental health, drug abuse and addiction, minority health and health disparities, multiple areas of cancer research (from causes and prevention through treatment and control), infectious diseases and microbiology, and child health and human development.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity code is R15, which is commonly associated with the NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) mechanism. R15 programs are generally designed to support research at institutions that emphasize teaching and provide students with meaningful research experiences, although the exact eligibility details for R15 mechanisms are defined in the full FOA and related NIH policy. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this opportunity, which reduces financial barriers for eligible applicants and institutions.
Eligibility is open to a wide range of U.S.-based organizations, particularly higher education institutions, including public or state-controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also explicitly includes several categories of institutions and organizations that NIH commonly highlights to broaden participation and strengthen research capacity, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). In addition, faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies may apply where appropriate. Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply directly, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components as defined by NIH policy may be allowed, which can matter for projects that involve specific collaborations, datasets, or populations outside the United States while remaining anchored in an eligible U.S. applicant organization.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 18, 2015. The original and current closing date listed is September 7, 2018, and it was archived on October 8, 2018, meaning it is no longer accepting applications under that specific posting. The sponsoring agency is NIH, and applicants are directed to the full announcement for complete details at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-260.html. For access or technical issues with the announcement, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster is the listed point of contact at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
