Section VIII. Other Information
The complexity of biomedical science often requires the input and expertise of multiple collaborating investigators working as an investigative team. Currently, support for collaborative research may take the form of a large R01 with a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) and one or more key personnel and/or collaborators; a multi-PD/PI R01 where credit and responsibility for a project are shared; a Program Project grant (P01) with 3 or more individual and independent projects, with cores, centered on a common theme; or a Center supporting a focused set of resource-related activities. While the R01, P01 and Centers mechanisms can foster certain kinds of collaborations, their structures cannot always readily accommodate interdisciplinary team science that synergizes around a single, critically important research challenge; for example, an unanswered, critical question or construction of a unique resource. In recognition of the need to provide a flexible mechanism to support interdisciplinary team science, the current initiative will support a Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Program designed to provide flexible support for research teams focused on innovative approaches to a single research challenge relevant to understanding biology that falls within the research mission of the NIDDK. This includes, for example, research related to diabetes, endocrine and metabolic diseases, digestive diseases and nutrition, and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases and the development of new approaches to prevent, treat and cure these diseases. Collaborative interdisciplinary teams could support basic, or integrated basic and clinical studies that have a potential to move forward the NIH agenda on translation.
The Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research program is designed to support: (a) A team of independent investigators with complementary expertise that will develop a synergistic approach to investigate a single, critically important research challenge; (b) Research projects of high scientific quality supported by strong preliminary data; and that might include the development or use of unique resources.
Investigators, who are considering pursuing a collaborative approach to their research problem, are strongly encouraged to contact NIDDK program staff prior to the projected receipt date to discuss a potential application. The discussion could include relevance of the topic to the NIDDK mission, the scope and approach of the project, and the choice of funding mechanism.
Funding decisions will be based on criteria for programmatic relevance and scientific quality. Successful research should have a major impact on areas relevant to the mission of NIDDK. A description of NIDDK scientific program areas can be found at http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/Funding/default.htm .
Teams that are at a formative stage and are addressing studies in the research areas of Kidney, Urology and Hematologic Diseases (KUH) have the opportunity to submit a "Seeding R24". For details of this mechanism, follow this link to the KUH webpage (http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/KUH/KUHHome/default.htm).
Funding Instrument |
Grant |
Application Types Allowed |
New The OER Glossary and the PHS398 Application Guide provide details on these application types. |
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards |
The number of awards is contingent upon NIH appropriations, and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. |
Award Budget |
Applications that are submitted in response to this FOA must have budgets greater than or equal to $500,000 in direct costs per year. Facilities and administrative costs requested by consortium participants are not included in the direct cost limitation, see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-004.html. |
Award Project Period |
The scope of the proposed project should determine the project period (the maximum project period for an R24 award is five years). As it is anticipated that the underlying science will change over time, only one competitive renewal is allowed. Thus, the maximum project period for these R24s is 10 years. |
NIH grants policies as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement will apply to the applications submitted and awards made in response to this FOA.
Higher Education Institutions:
The following types of Higher Education Institutions are always encouraged to apply for NIH support as Public or Private Institutions of Higher Education:
Nonprofits Other Than Institutions of Higher Education
For profit Organizations
Governments
Other
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are eligible to be represented by members of a collaborative team but may not apply for funding under this FOA.
Foreign (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are allowed.
Applicant organizations must complete the following registrations as described in the PHS398 Application Guide to be eligible to apply for or receive an award. Applicants must have a valid Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number in order to begin each of the following registrations.
All Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs) must also work with their institutional officials to register with the eRA Commons or ensure their existing eRA Commons account is affiliated with the eRA Commons account of the applicant organization.
All registrations must be completed by the application due date. Applicant organizations are strongly encouraged to start the registration process at least four (4) weeks prior to the application due date.
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
The R24 is a flexible R type grant mechanism that can be used to encourage a multi-disciplinary, team based approach to complex challenges in biomedical science in ways that are not often the case with the traditional R01. The PD/PI will submit the R24 from his/her institution (hereby termed applicant institution). Other members of the team may serve as co-investigators; or as a group of multiple-PDs/PIs. For institutions/organizations proposing multiple PDs/PIs, visit the Multiple Program Director/Principal Investigator Policy and submission details in the Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) Component of the PHS398 Application Guide. Funding to PDs/PIs at institutions other than the applicant institution will be administered according to the guidelines of a consortium. The Program Director/Principal Investigator of an R24 grant may be located at one institution while other members of the collaborative team may be located at the same, affiliated, or other institutions. Members of the team need not have interacted previously on this, or other problems.
This FOA does not require cost sharing as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
Applicant organizations may submit more than one application, provided that each application is scientifically distinct.
NIH will not accept any application in response to this FOA that is essentially the same as one currently pending initial peer review unless the applicant withdraws the pending application. NIH will not accept any application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed. Resubmission applications may be submitted, according to the NIH Policy on Resubmission Applications from the PHS398 Application Guide and must include an introduction addressing the previous peer review critique from the Summary Statement.
Applicants may submit Renewal applications for up to a total of 10 years of support.
Institutions may submit more than one application.
Individual PDs/PIs may submit one application.
Applicants are required to prepare applications according to the current PHS 398 application forms in accordance with the PHS 398 Application Guide.
It is critical that applicants follow the instructions in the PHS398 Application Guide, except where instructed in this funding opportunity announcement to do otherwise. Conformance to the requirements in the Application Guide is required and strictly enforced. Applications that are out of compliance with these instructions may be delayed or not accepted for review.
Applications must be prepared using the PHS 398 research
grant application forms and instructions for preparing a research grant
application. Submit a signed, typewritten original of the application,
including the checklist, and three signed photocopies in one package to:
Center for Scientific Review
National Institutes of Health
6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 1040, MSC 7710
Bethesda, MD 20892-7710 (U.S. Postal Service Express or regular mail)

Email: fc15y@nih.gov
All page limitations described in the PHS398 Application Guide and the Table of Page Limits must be followed.
All instructions in the PHS398 Application Guide must be followed, with the following additional instructions:
A clear plan of operation should be provided for the administrative structure and proposed interactions among the investigators. Research related to any resources that are needed to enhance the capabilities of the team should be clearly articulated. The coordinated use of shared resources that could increase the efficiency of the entire team, as well as facilitate the use of new technologies and the pursuit of new lines of investigation should be defined. The plan for development and use of resources should help to promote the interdisciplinary and collaborative research around which the team has formed. Shared research resources and activities can include services (e.g., cell isolations, patient recruitment, statistical or bioinformatics support); equipment (e.g., confocal microscope, scanning electron microscope); or other types of key facilities, cores, or reagents (e.g., use of transgenic facilities, access to batch preparation of reagents, clinical research resources), as needed by the collaborative team. Since the overall goal of the R24 is to bring together investigators from varied disciplines to attack a single research challenge in a coherent fashion, the justification for drawing investigators from varied disciplines (e.g., chemistry, physics, biological computation, imaging, molecular biology, physiology, etc) should be well defined. The role(s) for each member of the team and how the team will provide the requisite synergies for answering the complex problem should be clearly articulated. These activities should significantly enhance the investigators' existing capabilities and introduce new approaches to the research aims of the objective of the collaborative team. The collaborative research plan must facilitate a synthesis of information that would not be possible otherwise.
This mechanism is not intended to support core facilities or ongoing resources. Furthermore, it is not designed to support groups of investigators at the same institution who would normally interact and collaborate in the absence of a collaborative grant.
See Administrative Guidelines for R24 Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Team Science (Research Resource) Grants at the following link: http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/Funding/Grants/ApplicantGuidelines/CollaborativeR24

Part I. Overview Information contains information about Key Dates.
Information on the process of receipt and determining if
your application is considered on-time is described in detail in the PHS398
Application Guide.
Applicants may track the status of the application in the eRA Commons, NIH’s electronic system for grants
administration.
This initiative is not subject to intergovernmental review.
All NIH awards are subject to the terms and conditions, cost
principles, and other considerations described in the NIH Grants Policy
Statement.
Pre-award costs are allowable only as described in the NIH Grants
Policy Statement.
Applications must be postmarked on or before the due dates in Part I. Overview Information.
If an application is received after that date, it will not be
reviewed.
Upon receipt, applications will be evaluated for completeness by the Center for Scientific Review , NIH. Applications that are incomplete will not be reviewed.
Applicants should include a plan for the collaborative team science approach under the Research Strategy Section of the application, including plans for enhancing communication between and among members of the team. For purposes of evaluating the suitability of the R24 and the strengths of the collaborative team science approach to the central problem, the following criteria will apply in addition to those defined in the enhanced peer review criteria:
1) Does the team that has been assembled have the appropriate mix of expertise necessary to achieve the objectives of the work proposed?
2) Does the team apply appropriate and state-of-the-art approaches to the problem in such a way as to create a level of synergy that will significantly enhance the outcome?
3) Has an administrative organization been delineated, including plans for a) the coordination of ongoing research, b) the establishment and maintenance of internal communication and cooperation among investigators, c) the prioritization of usage of shared resources?
4) Are the proposed budgets appropriate for the work to be done? Is there an appropriate institutional commitment to the program, including lines of accountability regarding management of the R24 grant?
Applicants requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs in any year (excluding consortium F&A) must contact NIH program staff at least 6 weeks before submitting the application and follow the Policy on the Acceptance for Review of Unsolicited Applications that Request $500,000 or More in Direct Costs as described in the PHS398 Application Guide.
The Program Director/Principal Investigator must include a cover letter with the application that identifies the program staff member and Institute or Center that has agreed to accept assignment of the application. An application received without indication of prior staff concurrence and identification of program staff contacted will be returned to the applicant without review. See the following link for detailed instructions: http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-004.html
It is strongly encouraged that applicants contact program staff early in the process (6 to 9 months ahead of application due date). Discussions could include appropriateness of the R24 mechanism, budgetary considerations, and programmatic relevance and are beneficial to both the applicant as well as program staff for planning purposes.
These instructions apply to all new, renewal, and resubmission applications.
Applicants are required to follow the instructions for post-submission materials, as described in NOT-OD-10-115.
Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
This R24 is not intended to support more traditional investigator-initiated and highly focused studies best supported through the R01 or P01 mechanisms. Nor is it intended to provide core type infrastructure for the R24 application or for already existing and funded projects.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved. in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Does the application address a significant research topic that fills a gap in the current knowledge ?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD/PIs, collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project? Is the proposed research topic best addressed by an interdisciplinary approach as presented by this particular team? Do team members have other research support as well as a publication record that supports their particular expertise and field of research? Team Science: Does the team that has been assembled have the appropriate mix of expertise necessary to achieve the objectives of the work proposed?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed? Is the planned research substantially different from that already being pursued in the laboratories of team members or elsewhere?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project? Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success presented?
If the project is in the early stages of development, will the strategy
establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed? Are paradigm-shifting approaches and/or technologies being used to address the problem? Are the
unique strengths of each team member being appropriately used to address the
question? Synergy: Does the team apply appropriate and state-of-the-art
approaches to the problem in such a way as to create a level of synergy that
will significantly enhance the outcomes?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements? Has a plan been developed to facilitate the interaction of PD/PIs and key personnel at different institutions? Will data and resources be easily shared in order to address the application in an integrated, interdisciplinary way? Administration organization: Does the administrative organization reflect a coordination of ongoing research and establish and maintain internal communication and cooperation among investigators? Are mechanisms to prioritize the usage of shared resources provided?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Resubmissions
For Resubmissions, the committee will evaluate the resubmitted application, taking into consideration the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group and changes made to the project.
Renewals
For Renewals, the committee will consider the progress made in the last funding period and justification for continuing need for support using the R24 as opposed to other grant mechanisms. Only a single renewal will be allowed for an R24 project.
Revisions
Not Applicable
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
