Assistance Listing 93.375

The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (CFDA 93.375) last disbursed grants on September 22, 2007 — nearly 19 years ago — and does not support active grant opportunities at this time.

The program is inactive. Award activity ceased in 2007 after a sharp decline: the portfolio shows 328 awards in 2003, declining to 255 in 2004, 210 in 2005, 216 in 2006, and a single award in 2007. The most recent grant award was a Block Grant for pressure ulcer detection in darkly pigmented skin funded at $94,000. Across the program's history from 2000 to 2007, the NIH issued 1,418 grants totaling $809 million in federal obligations. No funding source other than NIH supported awards under this Assistance Listing.

The portfolio consisted predominantly of Project Grants (1,413 awards) with a small Block Grant component (5 awards). Recent awards in 2006 span research training, minority health disparity research, and scientific workforce development. Representative recent awards include a Morgan State University public health training program in complementary and alternative medicine research ($545 thousand, 2006), pressure ulcer detection in darkly pigmented skin ($94 thousand, 2007), and minority health disparity research programs ranging from $625 thousand to $5 million in single grants (2006).

Award magnitudes in the 2006 cohort ranged from approximately $23 thousand to $5 million, with a median around $800 thousand to $1 million across the research centers and training grants visible in the recent awards. The program appears dormant and is not recommended for pursuit unless the recipient has confirmed that the Assistance Listing has been reactivated or subsumed under a current NIH program vehicle.
