About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for the Collaborative Program Grant for Interdisciplinary Teams (RM1 Clinical Trial Optional), supporting highly integrated research teams of three to six Program Directors/Principal Investigators addressing single, focused, ambitious research questions that cannot be accomplished through individual efforts, with an application due date of September 26, 2029.

Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations, state and local governments (including tribal governments both federally recognized and other), special district governments, housing authorities, school districts, faith-based organizations, and regional organizations. Domestic for-profit organizations and eligible federal agencies may apply; Indian and Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized are also eligible. Foreign organizations cannot serve as primary applicants; applications involving foreign subawards or subcontracts will be deemed noncompliant. Unfunded international collaborations, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, and procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors are permitted.

Awards may request up to $1.5 million in direct costs annually for up to five years; most awards are expected to fall between $500,000 and $900,000 annually. Renewals beyond ten years of total support are not permitted. No cost share or matching requirement is specified in the source material.

The program requires synergistic interactions of multiple complementary investigators and emphasizes that program goals must not be achievable through individual efforts or collections of projects. Teams are encouraged to pursue far-reaching objectives producing major advances in their fields. The research strategy is limited to 20 pages and must include three components: Program Description, Team Integration Plan, and Summary Table. Clinical trials are optional.

Peer review assesses scientific merit using standard NIH criteria (Significance, Investigators, Innovation, Approach, Environment) with additional emphasis on team integration, synergy among PD/PIs, and whether the proposed work justifies a collaborative approach over individual grants. Scientific review is conducted by the Center for Scientific Review, with secondary review by the relevant NIH Institute or Center's Advisory Council. Funding is contingent on NIH appropriations and receipt of meritorious applications. The program includes 13 participating NIH institutes and centers.
