About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for Exploratory/Developmental Research Grants (R21) studying the ethical, legal, and social implications of human genetics and genomics, with applications due November 18, 2026. The opportunity is open to a broad range of applicants including higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations, state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, and special district governments; additional eligible applicants include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, TCCUs, faith-based and community-based organizations, and non-domestic entities.

Applications may propose studies using single or mixed methods, including empirical qualitative and quantitative approaches as well as conceptual, legal, and normative analyses. Direct involvement of key stakeholders where appropriate is encouraged. Of particular interest are studies exploring implications of new or emerging genomic technologies or novel uses of genomic information. The program is assigned to multiple CFDA numbers: Human Genome Research (93.172), Mental Health Research (93.242), Environmental Health (93.113), Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (93.279), Vision Research (93.867), Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (93.865), Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (93.173), and Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (93.121). The opportunity also supports potential co-funding through the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (93.313) for applications addressing women's health priorities aligned with participating NIH institutes and centers.

The announcement references PAR-25-369 and indicates applications have been closed but also notes an "Update close date" with the same project description, suggesting potential reopening or amendment. The source does not specify award ceilings, award floors, expected number of awards, period of performance, or evaluation weighting criteria.
