Executive
Summary
- Purpose. This interagency
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD),
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and National Institute
of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) is to invite the submission of grant
proposals that utilize agriculturally important domestic species to
improve human health through the advancement of basic and translational
research deemed highly relevant to both agricultural and biomedical research.
This initiative is designed to facilitate and encourage comparative
medicine research studies through the careful selection and refinement of
farm animal models that mimic human developmental, physiological and
etiological processes to better understand disease origins and improve
assisted reproduction efficiencies. The anticipated outcomes include
both the elucidation of fundamental information relevant for the
improvement of human health and an increase in food animal production and
improvement in animal health and product quality. It is envisioned
that each proposal will address mission-relevant areas of both
agencies.
- Mechanism of Support. This FOA will
utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) grant mechanism.
- Funds Available
and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued
under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the
submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. The
total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number,
quality, duration and costs of the applications received. It is the
intention of the NIH and USDA-NIFA to independently fund proposals.
- Budget and
Project Period. 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.
- Application Research Strategy Length:
The
R01 Research Strategy section may not exceed 12 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.
Applicants may submit a renewal application.
- Special Date(s).
