Opportunity Summary:
The Translational Programs in Lung Diseases (P01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 09-185) is a National Institutes of Health program led by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) that supports collaborative, team-based translational research aimed at improving real-world clinical care for lung diseases and sleep disorders. The central idea is to move discoveries from mechanistic or basic research into clinical applications that can strengthen prevention strategies, sharpen diagnostic approaches, and produce better treatments. In practice, this means applicants are expected to connect laboratory or mechanistic insights to patient-centered or clinically relevant outcomes, building a coherent research program that accelerates translation from bench to bedside (and, where appropriate, back again through iterative learning).
The funding mechanism is a Program Project Grant (P01), which is designed for multi-component research programs that require close coordination across several interrelated projects rather than a single standalone study. Under this FOA, an application must include at least three distinct research projects plus at least two shared resource cores, with an administrative core typically serving as one of the required cores. The projects should be scientifically linked by a unifying theme and structured so that the combined program is stronger and more impactful than the individual components would be on their own. The cores are meant to provide centralized support that multiple projects can use, helping to increase efficiency, promote standardization, and enable deeper collaboration across the program.
Award size, project period, and the number of awards were not fixed in advance, reflecting how widely translational lung and sleep research programs can differ in scope and cost. Instead, NHLBI anticipated that budgets and durations would vary across applicants, and that final funding decisions would depend on the overall pool of submissions, including the number of applications received, their scientific quality, the proposed timelines, and the requested costs. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary grant funding in the health area and is associated with CFDA 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this program.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as applicable), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and a wide range of government bodies such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities). The eligibility list also explicitly encompasses organizations that serve specific communities or have specific designations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and certain tribal organizations and regional organizations. Faith-based and community-based organizations are also included, and eligible agencies of the federal government and U.S. territories or possessions are referenced as allowable applicants in the eligibility information.
Key dates show the FOA was posted in mid-May 2009, with an original and final closing date listed as September 25, 2012, and an archive date of October 26, 2012. That combination indicates the opportunity is no longer active, but the archived announcement remains useful as a reference for understanding NHLBI priorities and the P01 structure used for translational lung and sleep disorder programs.
