Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Purpose

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. This FOA is specifically part of the Common Fund Metabolomics Program, the overall goal of which is to increase and improve the nation’s ability to undertake metabolomics analyses in translational and clinical research.

Metabolomics has great potential to advance our understanding of human diseases, but requires specialized expertise in metabolomics study design, technology, and data analysis and interpretation. This initiative supports supplemental funds to current NIH-funded research projects for new, interactive collaborations between basic or clinical researchers and metabolomics experts to pursue biomedical studies requiring a metabolomics approach and increase metabolomics expertise in the biomedical research community.

Background

Metabolomics is the study of low molecular weight molecules or metabolites found within cells and biological systems and the metabolome is a measure of the functional output of biological pathways. Metabolites are conserved across various animal species, facilitating the extrapolation of research findings in laboratory animals to humans and thus clinical and translational research. Common technologies for measuring the metabolome include mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which can measure hundreds to thousands of unique chemical entities (UCE). Metabolomic profiling in basic, epidemiological, clinical and translational studies has revealed potential new biomarkers of disease and therapeutic outcome and led to novel mechanistic understanding of pathogenesis. These include the recent biomarkers of diabetes risk (Nat.Med.17:448-453. 2011), novel metabolites associated with cancer (Nature 462:739-44. 2009), and the discovery of over 500 unique lipids in plasma (J. Lipid Res. 51: 3299-3305. 2010).

Comprehensive, high quality metabolomics investigations require access to specialized equipment and highly trained personnel with expertise in bioinformatics, biochemistry, physiology, and spectrometry.

Proper metabolomics study design, particularly for studies involving clinical samples, is critical for translationally relevant outcomes and interpretation of metabolomics results requires an in-depth understanding metabolism and physiology. Few institutions are equipped to handle the intricacies of analyses required to undertake comprehensive studies and fewer still have personnel with metabolomics expertise. An investment in training investigators in the disciplines required to undertake metabolomics analyses is expected to help increase the capacity to apply this powerful approach to translational questions. This initiative will support new, highly interactive collaborations that exploit metabolomics approaches to move basic and clinical research towards translational goals. In doing so, it will also increase the number of investigators cross-trained in metabolomics, methodology, bioinformatics analysis, biochemistry, and physiology. Fee-for-service only arrangements and existing collaborations are not eligible.

Section II. Award Information
Funding Instrument

The funding instrument will be the same as the parent award.

Grant (DP2, DP3, P01, P50, R00, R01, R37): A support mechanism providing money, property, or both to an eligible entity to carry out an approved project or activity.

Cooperative Agreement (U01): A support mechanism used when there will be substantial Federal scientific or programmatic involvement. Substantial involvement means that, after award, NIH scientific or program staff will assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.

Application Types Allowed

Non-competing Administrative Supplements

Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards

The total amount of funds available for these awards is approximately $2 million for FY2013. 12-14 awards are anticipated from this solicitation.

Award Budget

Application budgets are limited to a maximum of $100,000 direct costs, exclusive of consortium/contractual Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs, and must reflect actual needs of the proposed project. Travel budget for the principle collaborators to attend the annual Common Fund Metabolomics Program meeting, held domestically, must be included in this budget.

The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the project, or the cost increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes.

Award Project Period

The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award.A minimum nine month project period must be proposed from expected time of award. Awards in the no cost extension period are not allowed.

Applications submitted for this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding component for the parent award and will be administratively evaluated using the criteria shown above.

3. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates

Anticipated award is September 2013.

Section VI. Award Administration Information

1. Award Notices

A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA) will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications. This may be as an NoA for the supplemental activities only; alternatively, it may be as either a revision to the current year NoA or included as part of a future year NoA. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business official.

Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.

Any application awarded in response to this FOA will be subject to the DUNS, SAM Registration, and Transparency Act requirements as noted on the Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants website.

2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements

All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.

Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award

Any supplements to Cooperative Agreements will be subject to the same Cooperative Agreement terms and conditions as the parent award.

3. Reporting

Reporting requirements will be specified in the terms and conditions of award as applicable to the supplemental activities. In most non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and budget for the parent award. The progress report must include information about the activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is not requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities in the remaining years of the competitive segment of the grant will depend upon satisfactory review by the NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent award and the supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort. This information is submitted with the Non-Competing Grant Progress Report, PHS 2590 or RPPR, and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
