About this program
The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director, through its Office of Strategic Coordination, administers the Common Fund (CFDA 93.1CF), a program supporting cross-institute collaborative biomedical and behavioral research initiatives addressing high-priority challenges across the NIH portfolio.
The source provides no recent grant awards, recent grant opportunities, or funding portfolio data. The program description indicates that the Common Fund issues assistance awards and supplements to existing assistance awards through a peer-review process with a four to nine-month review cycle, but no timeline for current or recently closed solicitations is present. The program accepts applications from domestic public and nonprofit organizations, universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, and institutions, including state and local government units; eligibility details vary by specific funding announcement, and some initiatives accept foreign organizations.
Awards are evaluated on scientific merit—encompassing significance, approach, innovation, investigator competency, adequacy of resources, budget justification, and where applicable, human subjects and environmental protections—and on program relevance. Funding decisions rest with NIH leadership and relevant national advisory councils or boards. Grantees must comply with OMB 2 CFR 200 audit requirements as implemented in 45 CFR 75 and retain financial and programmatic records for three years from the date of the annual financial status report submission, subject to the exceptions and extended retention periods outlined in 45 CFR 75 and 92.42 for ongoing litigation, claims, audits, or management reviews.
Without access to current funding opportunity announcements, recent award history, typical award magnitudes, or the program's recent award volume and funding concentration, a prospective applicant cannot assess the program's current activity level, competitive landscape, or likelihood of funding for specific research agendas. Contact the Office of Strategic Coordination or consult NIH's funding opportunity portal for active or recently posted solicitations under this program.
