Networks and Pathways Collaborative Research Projects (R01)

Purpose. This announcement solicits applications for research project grants that will leverage and complement the ongoing technology development being pursued in the National Technology Centers for Networks and Pathways (TCNPs), a program of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. These collaborative projects should focus either on addressing a challenging biological problem using the technology developed in one or more of the TCNPs, or on the development of technology that will complement that which is being developed in the centers. Applicants may request support for their own work as well as supplemental support for components pursued in the participating TCNP. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award 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. 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. Eligible Institutions/Organizations. Public/State Controlled Institution of Higher Education; Private Institution of Higher Education; Nonprofit with 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education); Nonprofit without 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education); Small Business; For-Profit Organization (Other than Small Business); State Government; U.S. Territory or Possession; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entity (Foreign Organization); Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs); Other(s): Eligible agencies of the Federal government.
