NIH Small Research Grant Program (Parent R03) (PA-18-488)

Contacts and Special Interests

Release Date: March 31, 2016
Expiration Date: May 8, 2019

Introduction

The R03 grant mechanism will support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. The NIH has standardized the Small Grant (R03) application characteristics, requirements, preparation, and review procedures in order to accommodate investigator-initiated (unsolicited) applications. See the NIH Small Grant Program (R03) page for more information.

There is also a list of ICs that do not accept unsolicited R03 applications. Non-participating ICs might solicit other R03 applications using Requests for Applications (RFAs) or Program Announcements (PAs) to meet specific program needs. Information about such initiatives can be obtained in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts and by consulting with NIH staff.

Graham, Ph.D. Phone: (301) 496-7531 E-mail: bettie_graham@nih.gov The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) uses the Small Grant (R03) mechanism to support research on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetic and genomic research. A more detailed discussion of the high priority research areas covered by this announcement can be found on the NHGRI ELSI Program website: http://www.genome.gov/page.cfm?pageID=10001618. With respect to the ELSI program, the R03 mechanism is designed to: encourage the development of small, focused research projects by legal, historical, ethics, humanities, social sciences and behavioral scholars; support exploratory studies that may provide preliminary findings or pilot data for larger research proposals; support the secondary analysis of existing data; support the development of new methodologies; and stimulate and facilitate the entry of promising new investigators into ELSI Research For research applications with direct costs greater than $50,000 a year, or with a project period exceeding 2 years, applicants should refer to the NHGRI ELSI Regular Research Grant (R01) program announcement. PA-04-050 Prospective applicants may also wish to read “A Vision for the Future of Genomics Research”(http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/11006873) to familiarize themselves with the research interests of the Institute.

Priority will be given to applications in any of the following categories: Research projects leading to a defined product, resource or "deliverable" that has inherent value to the neuroscience community. Some examples include: creation of new animal models (e.g., mouse genetic models), generation of reagents (e.g., antibodies, RNAi, affinity capture reagents for use in a protein chip microarray), development of public resources (e.g., databases), development of cellular models for neurological disorders, development of novel phenotypic or behavioral screens for models of neurological disorders. Research projects that, regardless of whether they are hypothesis-driven, will generate an important and potentially publishable unit of information or dataset (either by itself or in combination with other data). Such projects should utilize a well-designed model of the normal or diseased nervous system. Some examples include: microarray gene expression analyses, proteomic analyses, pre-clinical drug screens. Research projects focused on secondary analysis of clinical data sets. This mechanism could also be appropriate for the collection of samples and/or associated clinical data to be included in the NINDS Genetics Repository (see: http://ccr.coriell.org/Sections/Collections/NINDS/?SsId=10). Priority will be given to research proposals that include a detailed plan for the sharing of resources and data generated under this award. Potential applicants are advised to contact program staff to verify that the proposed research is relevant to NINDS and responsive to one of the listed criteria.
