Executive Summary
- Purpose. This funding
opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by NCRR, National Institutes of
Health, encourages research grant applications from institutions/
organizations that propose to develop, characterize or improve animal
models for human disease or to improve diagnosis and control diseases of
laboratory animals that may interfere with research. Models to be
considered must be applicable to the research interests of two or more
categorical NIH Institutes/Centers. Investigators considering
applying are strongly encouraged to consult with NCRR program staff as
early as possible to be advised whether this FOA is appropriate.
Proposals to develop models that would not have broad applications, but
would apply only to a specific disease or category of research, should be
proposed to the appropriate categorical institute of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), e.g., models or model systems with primary
focus on cancer or heart diseases should contact those categorical
institutes at NIH to discuss alternative funding opportunities.
- Mechanism of
Support. This
FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) award mechanism.
- Funds Available
and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the
proposed research will vary from application to application, it is
anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The
total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the
mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications
received.
- Budget and
Project Period.
The total project period for an application submitted in response to this
funding opportunity may not exceed two years. Direct costs are limited to
$275,000 over an R21 two-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct
costs allowed in any single year.
- Application
Research Strategy Length: The R21 Research Strategy section may
not exceed 6 pages, including tables, graphs, figures, diagrams,
and charts. See Table
of Page Limits. Eligible Institutions/Organizations.
Institutions/organizations listed in Section
III, 1.A. are eligible to apply.
- Eligible Project
Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs). Individuals
with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed
research are invited to work with their institution/organization to
develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented
racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are
always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
- Number of
PDs/PIs.
More than one PD/PI (i.e., multiple PDs/PIs) may be designated on the
application.
- Number of
Applications.
Applicants may submit more than one application, provided that each
application is scientifically distinct.
- Resubmissions. Applicants may
submit a resubmission application, but such application must include an
Introduction addressing the previous peer review critique (Summary
Statement). See new NIH policy on resubmission (amended) applications (NOT-OD-09-003,
NOT-OD-09-016).
- Renewals.
Exploratory/developmental grant support is for new projects only; competing
renewal (formerly “competing continuation”) applications will not be
accepted.
- Application
Materials.
See Section
IV.1 for application materials.
