About this opportunity
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is soliciting applications for R03 Small Grants supporting NIDDK K01, K08, K23, and K25 award recipients, with applications due January 7, 2028. This program is limited to current K-award holders seeking to transition to independent investigator status during the latter years of their K-award period.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and local governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, tribal governments (federally recognized and tribally controlled colleges and universities), HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and AANAPISIs. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are ineligible; however, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are permitted.
The R03 mechanism supports pilot and feasibility studies, secondary analysis of existing data, small self-contained research projects, research methodology development, and new research technology development. R03 grants are designed for research projects executable in a short timeframe with limited resources, frequently generating preliminary data to support subsequent R01 or equivalent applications.
Applications undergo scientific merit review by an appropriate review panel and the National Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Advisory Council. Evaluation criteria include scientific merit and significance of proposed objectives, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, facility and resource adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). No cost share requirement is stated. Award amounts and number of awards are not specified in the source materials.
Synopsis
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) announces a program that provides NIDDK-supported K01, K08, K23, and K25 recipients the opportunity to apply for Small Grant (R03) support at some point during the latter years of their award period of their K award. Through the use of this mechanism, the NIDDK is seeking to enhance the capability of its K01, K08, K23, and K25 award recipients to conduct research as they complete their transition to fully independent investigator status. The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects, including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is, therefore, intended to support research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources and that may provide preliminary data to support a subsequent R01, or equivalent, application.
Eligibility
Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed.
