This NIH mechanism is narrowly limited to organizations that already hold specific types of NIH grants and need to transfer an existing award to a new recipient institution (a change of recipient organization). It is an administrative prior-approval request, not a new funding opportunity, and there is no guarantee a transfer will be approved. Only current NIH grantee organizations should apply; it does not apply to individuals, new applicants, or general nonprofits. No award amount applies.

This NIH program supports preclinical discovery and development of biologic-based therapies for nervous system disorders, from lead optimization through Phase I clinical testing. Eligible applicants are research organizations such as universities, colleges, government and tribal agencies, faith- or community-based organizations, and (for this announcement) foreign organizations; it is geared toward established research teams, not individuals or general nonprofits. Award amounts are not specified. Applicants should be prepared for a complex, multi-phase research undertaking with NIH-funded consultants and contract research organizations.

Environmental Protection Agency · $0–$3M

This EPA program funds assessment and remediation of contaminated Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act lands, plus related community outreach. Eligibility is limited to Alaska Native regional and village corporations, federally recognized Tribes in Alaska, Alaska Native nonprofit associations, and inter-tribal consortia of Alaskan tribal entities.

Only existing CESU network partners may apply, so applicants must already have joined the network. No specific award amount is provided.

National Institutes of Health · Up to $50K

The NIH parent Small Research Grant (R03, clinical trial not allowed) supports small, short-term projects such as pilot and feasibility studies, secondary data analysis, and methodology development. A broad range of domestic and foreign institutions may apply, including universities, tribal governments, and community-based organizations. The award is capped at about $50,000. The small budget suits research institutions pursuing limited-scope projects to generate preliminary data.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

The NIH parent Research Project Grant (R01, clinical trial required) supports investigator-initiated research projects, with at least one clinical trial required, aligned with participating NIH institutes' missions. A broad range of domestic and foreign institutions may apply, including universities, tribal governments, and community-based organizations. No specific award amount is stated. The clinical-trial requirement makes this best suited to research institutions with trial capacity.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

The NIH parent Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21, clinical trial not allowed) supports early-stage, higher-risk research projects that may lead to breakthroughs or novel methods. A broad range of domestic and foreign institutions may apply, including universities, tribal governments, and community-based organizations. No specific award amount is stated. This is an exploratory research mechanism aimed at research institutions.

National Institutes of Health · Up to $375K

An NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA/R15) for undergraduate-focused institutions that do not receive substantial NIH funding, supporting small-scale biomedical research with undergraduate involvement. Eligibility is narrow: institutions must award baccalaureate science degrees and have received no more than about $6 million per year of NIH support in 4 of the last 7 years; foreign organizations are not eligible. The award is capped at about $375,000. This is restricted to qualifying lower-NIH-funded undergraduate institutions.

National Institutes of Health · Up to $375K

The purpose of the Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools is to stimulate basic and clinical research in educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the Nation's research scientists, but that have not been major recipients of NIH support. REAP grants create opportunities for scientists and institutions otherwise unlikely to participate extensively in NIH research programs to contribute to the Nation's biomedical and behavioral research effort. REAP grants are intended to support small-scale research projects proposed by faculty members of eligible, domestic institutions, to expose undergraduate and/or graduate students at health professional schools or graduate schools to meritorious research projects, and to strengthen the research environment of the applicant institution.Eligible institutions must award NIH-relevant baccalaureate or advanced degrees in health professions and have received less than $6 million per year of NIH support (total costs) in 4 of the last 7 fiscal years. In this NOFO, a college is a stand-alone entity and not a component of a university system.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (de-implement) the use of practices that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the Institutes/Centers listed above.

In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. Applications that focus on re-implementation of evidence-based health services that may be disrupted amidst disasters (e.g., pandemics) remain relevant.
