Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 18 834
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity titled "Enhancing Developmental Biology Research at Academic Research Enhancement Award Eligible Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 18 834) is a discretionary grant program designed to build and strengthen developmental biology research capacity at colleges and universities that award baccalaureate or advanced degrees but historically have not been major recipients of NIH funding. The goal is not only to support specific research projects in developmental biology, but also to improve the overall research environment at these institutions by creating meaningful opportunities for faculty and students to engage in high-quality, hypothesis-driven research focused on the fundamental processes that govern normal development.
A major emphasis of this FOA is educational and workforce development in the context of a real research program. The award is intended to motivate and train students by giving them direct exposure to research and hands-on participation in projects that investigate developmental mechanisms. In practice, this often means supporting projects that can be integrated into an academic setting where student researchers play substantial roles, helping institutions cultivate a stronger pipeline of future scientists. The FOA also highlights an interest in fostering the development and broader adoption of novel or underutilized experimental model systems. That focus encourages applicants to either bring innovative model organisms or experimental approaches into wider use, or to leverage less commonly used systems in ways that can open new directions in developmental biology.
The funding instrument is a grant under the Academic Research Enhancement Award mechanism (R15), and the FOA explicitly states that clinical trials are not allowed, signaling that the supported work should be non-clinical and aimed at basic biological understanding rather than testing interventions in human participants. The activity category is listed under Health, Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 93.865. The opportunity was created on June 18, 2018, and the original closing date provided is February 26, 2019. The listed award ceiling is $300,000, indicating the maximum amount that can be requested under this announcement, though the actual budget and project period details would depend on the FOA specifics and NIH policies.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types, while still centered on the R15 program purpose of supporting institutions with limited NIH research support. Eligible applicants include a wide range of government entities (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and various tribal governments and organizations. The FOA also identifies multiple mission-driven and capacity-building eligible groups, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), U.S. territories or possessions, and certain Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (other than federally recognized). In addition, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), other than institutions of higher education), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, regional organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses are listed among eligible applicant categories, with the note to consult the FOA for full eligibility requirements and constraints.
Overall, this NIH opportunity is structured to advance developmental biology as a field while simultaneously strengthening research infrastructure and student-centered research training at institutions that have not typically received large amounts of NIH funding. It encourages projects that deepen understanding of normal development, expand the toolkit of developmental model systems, and provide robust research experiences that can raise the research profile and educational impact of eligible institutions.Apply for PAR 18 834
