Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Understanding Barriers and Facilitators to Type 1 Diabetes Management in Adults (DP3)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-13-023) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program focused on improving how adults with type 1 diabetes manage their condition in daily life. The main purpose of the announcement is to fund research that digs into the real-world factors that get in the way of, or help support, effective diabetes self-management for this population. Rather than funding a full-scale intervention trial right away, the emphasis is on generating evidence about what drives behavior and outcomes so that later intervention studies can be designed around what actually matters to adults living with type 1 diabetes.
At its core, this FOA is asking researchers to identify and characterize barriers and facilitators to good self-management. In practical terms, this could include patient-level issues (like knowledge, skills, motivation, distress, burnout, fear of hypoglycemia, or comorbid mental health concerns), treatment and technology factors (like access to insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, pumps, usability challenges, alarm fatigue, or data overload), health care system issues (like care coordination, appointment access, diabetes education availability, or insurance coverage), and broader social determinants (like cost, food insecurity, work schedules, family responsibilities, social support, transportation, or stigma). The expected outcome is a clearer, evidence-based understanding of which factors are most important, for whom, and under what circumstances, so future interventions can be targeted and realistic instead of one-size-fits-all.
The program is categorized under the NIH activity area tied to "Food and Nutrition Health" and is listed under CFDA number 93.847, which covers Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally makes the opportunity more accessible to a wide range of applicant types. The total estimated funding amount for the FOA is listed as $5,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $5,000,000, indicating the program could support a substantial award depending on NIH plans and the structure of applications submitted.
A notably broad set of organizations were eligible to apply. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, other for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses where specified), and many government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility list also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and community-serving entities, such as faith-based or community-based organizations, 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with regional organizations and eligible federal agencies. Native American tribal governments, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, were included as eligible applicants as well.
There were clear restrictions related to foreign participation. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) were not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also not eligible. In addition, foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, were not allowed, reinforcing that the research activity supported under this FOA needed to be fully domestic in terms of applicant and project structure.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 9, 2013. The original and current closing date for applications was February 19, 2014, and the archive date was March 22, 2014, meaning the FOA is no longer active but remains useful as a reference point for understanding NIH priorities and the kind of foundational, preparatory research they sometimes fund ahead of intervention development. For applicants or researchers looking for the original announcement language and any detailed requirements, NIH provided an official link to the FOA: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DK-13-023.html
