Purpose
This Notice solicits competitive revision applications to support the expansion of existing P30, P50 or U54 cores and/or pilot project programs. Applicants for the competitive revisions are encouraged to form new collaborations between scientists working at different centers and scientists with expertise in varying disciplines.
Participating Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health announce the opportunity for investigators with relevant active NIH-supported chronic disease research centers (P30, P50, U54) to submit competitive revision applications for funded projects that could benefit from leveraging their existing capacity to address the increasing burden of chronic diseases and to reduce health disparities. Competitive revisions must come from programs that have successfully competed for NIH funding for research in chronic high-burden diseases, exercise medicine, and health disparities. NIH encourages existing grantees to submit proposals that describe a plan where they expand their collaborative work with other centers to better understand multiple chronic high-burden diseases and the reduction of health disparities (including geographic disparities). NIH in particular encourages projects which create regional, multidisciplinary collaborations across areas in Southeasternstates with a high prevalence of multiple chronic high-burden diseases (for example, as defined by overlapping regions of the "Stroke Belt", "Obesity Belt", and "Diabetes Belt").
Competing revisions must focus on chronic high-burden diseases such as obesity, chronic cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, stroke, arthritis/autoimmune diseases, cancer, exercise intolerance and/or the reduction of health disparities in these aforementioned areas. Projects must clearly demonstrate the potential to leverage existing cohorts, networks, and/or consortia, and integrate across centers that focus on individual chronic conditions, in support of collaborative research on multiple chronic high-burden diseases and health disparities.
Examples of the types of competing revisions that are of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Revision applications can support a significant expansion of the scope and research protocol approved and funded for the parent award on which the revision application is based. Prospective investigators can consult the contact listed below to ensure that projects will considerably contribute to achieving the goal of this Notice. Applicants may request up to 2 years of support and the parent grant must have at least two years remaining on the project. Applicant budget requests (in total costs) must not exceed 75% of the total cost of the parent award for the current budget period on which the revision application is based.
Applicants do not need to apply to the same FOA that the parent grant was submitted to. Instead, we will be using existing FOAs noted below for application submission. In an exception to standard practice, the participating institutes/centers (NCI, NHLBI, NIAMS, NIDDK, NINDS, and NIMHD) will accept competitive revision applications submitted to the FOAs listed below. Receipt dates indicated in the those FOAs do not apply to applications responding to this request for competitive revisions. Therefore, applicants must submit competitive revision applications by March 28, 2019 as described below.
For applicants with a current active P30:
For applicants with a current active P50:
For applicants with a current active U54 (or UL1):
For funding consideration, applicants must include NOT-OD-19-070 (without quotation marks) in the Agency Routing Identifier field (Box 4B) of the SF424 R&R form in the Overall Component. Applications without this identifier in Box 4B will not be considered for this special initiative. In addition, applicants should include a cover letter indicating that competitive revision applications are responsive to the requirements of NOT-OD-19-70 receipt dates, and not the FOA application receipt dates.
Note that this notice announces funds for revisions that address this particular initiative on chronic diseases and health disparities only.
Applications for revisions in response to this notice must follow the aforementioned application instructions and be submitted by March 28, 2019, by 5pm at the local time of the applicant organization.
