About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for the Biomedical Research Environment and Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD) Program under a cooperative agreement mechanism, with applications due January 27, 2027. This program targets domestic organizations with limited research resources and few biomedical doctoral students, explicitly excluding non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations.
Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, other nonprofits, and designated minority-serving institutions including HBCUs, TCCUs, HSIs, AANAPISIs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. The program does not support clinical trials. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which signals active federal involvement in programmatic oversight beyond typical grants.
BRE-SPAD aims to promote broad participation in the biomedical research ecosystem by enabling resource-limited organizations to conduct research, enhance research environments, and increase sponsored programs administration capacity. The program's core logic targets capacity building at institutions historically excluded from robust federal research portfolios.
The opportunity falls under multiple parent programs: Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310), Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research (93.846), Mental Health Research Grants (93.242), Alcohol Research Programs (93.273), Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (93.279), Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (93.121), Biomedical Research and Research Training (93.859), Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (93.853), Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health (93.213), Aging Research (93.866), and Vision Research (93.867). The breadth of parent listings indicates this is a trans-NIH initiative with wide applicability across the NIH mission space.
The source does not specify award ceilings, floors, expected number of awards, period of performance, place of performance, cost-share requirements, evaluation criteria, or weighting. Applicants should consult the full NOFO (PAR-24-268) and application guide (PKG00288440) for these program-specific details.
