Purpose

The Biomedical/Biobehavioral Research Administration Development (BRAD) Award program provides support for research administration capacity building. The BRAD program is being cancelled and, as of the date of this Notice, NICHD has no future plans to reissue PAR-14-333, "Biomedical/Biobehavioral Research Administration Development (BRAD) Award (G11)"  whose final due date was August 19, 2016, for this program. NICHD and its partners are in the process of evaluating their activities in this area and how to build upon the investments made by the BRAD program in the future.

This Notice does not affect applications in response to PAR-14-333 that have already been reviewed. Applications already reviewed for FY 2017 funding will be selected for funding using the usual NICHD procedures. For grants that already have been awarded, NICHD plans to continue support for non-competing awards in future years.
