NHLBI considers Research Project Grant (RPG) applications that address the NHLBI strategic vision and mission to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders.

NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Project Grant (R21): Specific areas of interest for NHLBI include:

• Use of biospecimens from NHLBI BioLINCC;  
• Secondary Analysis of Existing Datasets. Proposed analyses may investigate novel scientific ideas; generate new models, systems, tools, methods, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research in areas relevant to the NHLBI mission. Existing datasets may be obtained from both public and/or private sources, including, but not limited to: 
  • NHLBI BioData Catalyst; NHLBI BioLINCC; any NIH IC;
  • Investigator datasets; Electronic Health Records; Registries; Industry-supported research; Administrative datasets
• Early-stage innovative bioengineering projects that could lead to preclinical and translational research. Research should focus on discovery- and design-driven first-generation prototype development and initial feasibility studies. Specific areas of interest include:
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Data-Driven Approaches: using AI/Machine Learning (ML) for biomarker identification, streamlining medical device design, and AI-augmented wearable devices.
  • Imaging & Diagnostics: noninvasive imaging for coronary artery disease detection and novel molecular imaging agents.
  • Advanced Therapeutics & Regenerative Medicine: novel nanomaterials, cellular repair strategies for tailored medicine, and alternative oxygenation technologies.
  • Bioengineering Innovations & Health Systems: engineered biological systems to study disease progression and health system implementation.
• Research on HIV-related HLBS diseases and disorders, as well as blood-based therapies for transfusion and HIV cure, excluding malignancy.

• ORIP supports resource-related cross-cutting research projects that develop, improve, integrate, characterize, or preserve models, biomaterials, technologies, and new approach methodologies (NAMs) to address emerging human health needs, prevent disease, promote health, and advance foundational science.
• The proposed project must have broad applicability to two or more NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) to align with the NIH-wide mission of ORIP.
• Applications that develop models and related biomaterials, technologies, and NAMs focused on a single disease, body system or area of research or propose studies primarily relevant to a single NIH IC and only peripherally to the interests of other ICs will be considered not acceptable. 
• Funding priority may be given to applications on one of our highlighted topics and applications promoting rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research submitted in response to topic-specific funding opportunities.

• ORIP will consider applications submitted for all NIH funding cycles specified in the notices of funding opportunity in which ORIP participates.

• ORIP has no specific considerations related to program duration other than what is specified in the notices of funding opportunity in which ORIP participates.

• ORIP has no specific budget considerations related to research projects other than what is specified in the notices of funding opportunity in which ORIP participates.
• Application budgets need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project and are subject to availability of funds and program priorities.

• To receive and maintain funding, ORIP expects the contact PD/PI and any multiple PD/PIs to commit the minimum level of effort in each active budget period that reflects the actual needs of the proposed project.
