RFA-OD-19-027 - Resource-Related Research Projects for Development of Animal Models and Related Materials (R24 Clinical Trials Not-Allowed).
Division of Program Coordination, Planning and Strategic Initiatives, Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP)
The Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) intends to reissue RFA-OD-19-027, Resource-Related Research Projects for Development of Animal Models and Related Materials (R24 Clinical Trials Not-Allowed).
This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
The FOA is expected to be published in fiscal year 2022 with an expected application due date in fiscal year 2023.
This FOA will utilize the R24 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.
ORIP’s intent with the re-issuance funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support resource-related research projects that are aimed at developing and characterizing new animal-based resources, improving existing resources, or acquiring deep understanding of a model system to improve the utilization, accessibility and translational values of animal models to the research community. The NIH-wide mission of ORIP is to support all NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) that fund basic, preclinical, and translational research by strengthening their existing programs, developing research resources, advancing areas of emerging science, and developing new initiatives to move biomedical research forward. Therefore, proposed studies, models, technologies, and biological materials must be applicable to two or more NIH ICs and must explore multiple body systems or evaluate diseases and processes that impact multiple body systems.
An application under the re-issuance FOA may be predominantly research based if that research potentially leads to the development of tools or resources that will have a broad impact on the NIH-wide biomedical research community. An application also may be aimed at final development or enhancement of existing resources.
Applications responding to the re-issuance FOA should:
Cost recovery is not required for applications responding to the re-issuance FOA.
Proposed studies, models, technologies, and biological materials that relate strictly to a specific disease or research discipline or are relevant to the mission and programs of a single NIH IC will not be considered suitable for the re-issuance FOA. Such applications should be directed to the IC with a specific interest in that mission. For example, investigators interested in developing resources with a primary focus on aging, cancer, heart disease, or neurological disorders should contact respective NIH ICs relevant to these topics. Furthermore, applications proposing studies to develop a limited number of resources or are related primarily to the interest of one NIH IC and only peripherally to the interests of other ICs are not acceptable.
Examples of resource-related projects suitable for the re-issuance FOA, include, but are not limited to:
Examples of projects that WILL NOT be supported under the re-issuance FOA include those that:
The re-issuance FOA will support the development of animal models and related resources to advance a variety of important research areas and have an impact on the NIH-wide biomedical research community. Applications for developing a limited number of resources are not suitable for the re-issuance FOA and may be appropriate for research project grant activities through R21 or R01 awards supported by ORIP or other NIH ICs. Those applications proposing to develop resources should describe plans to deposit resources to stock centers or databases accessible to the research community and register catalogs of their resources with current resource tagging and identification initiatives, such as FORCE 11. These projects should also encourage investigators who use the resources to make use of the Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) in their publications and reports.
Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs) planning to work with their institutions to submit applications are strongly encouraged to contact the scientific contacts prior to submission (see Scientific/Research Contacts in Section VII. Agency Contacts) to be advised on appropriateness of the intended resource and research plans for this program, competitiveness of a potential application, and alignment with ORIP's program priorities.
