FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Please let your departmental business office know
if you plan to submit an application for any ARRA initiative.
from the NIH General ARRA FAQ:
Q: When must ARRA projects be completed?
A: All ARRA funds must be obligated by NIH no later than September 30, 2010. Project completion dates must therefore be no later than September 29, 2011.Challenge Grant Update!
Approximately 15,000 Challenge Grant applications are working their way through the submission process. Applications submitted by the initial April 27 deadline have until Friday, May 8 to complete the submission process. (more...)

- Administrative Supplements
NOT-OD-09-056.
Application Deadlines: Most institutes and centers (IC) have specific deadlines.
Potential applicants should review the instructions for Administrative Supplements issued by their funding institute or center (IC) before responding to this Notice. Some ICs will consider administrative supplements only in target areas identified on their Web sites. Some ICs provide instructions that supersede those provided in the parent announcement.
To be eligible, the parent grant must be active and the research/scientific activities proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the current competitive segment. The proposed supplement MUST be within the general scope of the peer-reviewed activities and aims approved within the parent grant, including projects on a no-cost extension.
It is anticipated that supplement funding will be awarded within a short period after receipt of the supplement request. Please note that in general NIH expects to award supplements of not more than 50 percent of the amount of the parent grant, including requests for equipment purchases of under $100,000.
Please note that the NIH institutes and centers (IC) may have their own specific areas of emphasis, deadline and review dates, and special instructions superseding the parent announcements. Website links, deadlines, and review dates for the three types of Recovery Act Supplements have been compiled into a table based on the individual IC web sites. http://www.yale.edu/grants/funding_info/pdf/ARRA-supplements.pdf

NOT-OD-09-060.
Application Dates: OPEN, though some institutes and centers (IC) may have specific deadlines.
These supplements are intended to encourage students to seriously pursue research careers in the health related sciences, as well as provide elementary, middle school, and high school teachers, community college faculty, and faculty from non-research intensive institutions with short term research experiences in NIH-funded laboratories.
To be eligible, the parent grant must be active and the research experience proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the current competitive segment. The proposed supplement MUST be within the general scope of the peer-reviewed activities and aims approved within the parent grant, including projects on a no-cost extension. Salaries of added participants in research are specified within the announcement.
Please note that the NIH institutes and centers (IC) may have their own specific areas of emphasis, deadline and review dates, and special instructions superseding the parent announcements. Website links, deadlines, and review dates for the three types of Recovery Act Supplements have been compiled into a table based on the individual IC web sites. http://www.yale.edu/grants/funding_info/pdf/ARRA-supplements.pdf
Additionally, NIH is prepared to make awards with Recovery Act funding under other existing programs that provide administrative supplements (such as PA-08-190 Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research and PA-08-091 Research Supplements to Promote Re-Entry into Biomedical and Behavioral Research Careers).

Application Deadline: June 17, 2009
projects between $10M and $15M
Application Deadline: July 17, 2009
projects between $5M and $10M
Support for direct costs between $2M and $15M may be requested to expand, remodel, renovate, or alter basic research, clinical research, and animal facilities to meet the biomedical or behavioral research, research training, or research support needs of an institution. The total project period for an award may not exceed five years. - Recovery Act Limited Competition: Core Facility Renovation, Repair, and Improvement (G20)
RFA-RR-09-007.

Recovery Act Limited Competition: Extramural Research Facilities Improvement Program (C06)
- NIH RESEARCH and RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE "GRAND OPPORTUNITIES" (RC2) -- "GO" Grants
RFA-OD-09-004.
Application Deadline: May 29, 2009. new date!
$200 million is available to support projects that address large, specific biomedical and biobehavioral research endeavors that will benefit from significant 2-year funds without the expectation of continued NIH funding beyond 2 years. The research supported by the "GO" grants program should have high short-term impact, and may lay the foundation for new fields of investigation.
"GO" Grants will exceed $500,000 total costs per year for 2 years to support large-scale research projects that accelerate critical breakthroughs, early and applied research on cutting-edge technologies, and new approaches to improve the synergy and interactions among multi-and inter-disciplinary research teams. The initiative seeks novel approaches in areas that address specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways.
Applicants may propose to address either a specific research question or propose the creation of a unique infrastructure/resource designed to accelerate scientific progress in the future.
The scope of the "GO" grants program includes, but is not limited to the following:- Groundbreaking, innovative, high impact and cross-cutting research projects that can be readily deployed and that will improve and accelerate biomedical research.
- Basic, clinical and translational projects that could fundamentally enhance the research enterprise and that require the participation, interaction, coordination and integration of activities carried out in multiple research laboratories.
- Creation of large scale unique resources, accelerated application of high throughput, and other novel technologies.
- Deployment of critical infrastructure, resources, tools, and methodologies that substantially accelerate collaborative, multi and interdisciplinary basic, translational, and/or clinical research.
- Implementation of large scale research projects that are carried out using new and creative collaborative agreements and partnerships with industry and small businesses to accelerate the pre-clinical and clinical testing of new therapeutics.
- Creative approaches to overcome barriers to basic, translational, or clinical research using novel tools, technologies, and services.

RFA-MH-09-170 Research Project (R01)
RFA-MH-09-171 Collaborative Research Grant (R01)
RFA-MH-09-172 Exploratory/Developmental Research
Grant (R21)
RFA-MH-09-173 Clinical Exploratory/Developmental
Research Grant (R34/Collaborative R34)
NIH is committing roughly $60 million to support autism research under 4 grant announcements sharing the single title, "Research to Address the Heterogeneity in Autism Spectrum Disorders." Examples of research topics include developing and testing diagnostic screening tools for different populations; assessing risk from prenatal or early life exposures; initiating clinical trials to test early interventions; or adapting existing, effective pediatric treatments for older children, teens, and adults with ASD. While few trials can be completed in 2 years, this will jumpstart projects and help build infrastructure or foundations for longer term autism research efforts.
