About this program
The National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research Resources (CFDA 93.389) is inactive for new grant funding—the most recent award was disbursed in August 2012, fourteen years ago. The program is not pursuing new grant opportunities at this time.
Historically, NCRR funded shared biomedical research resources, research infrastructure, and researcher development across academic and nonprofit institutions. Recent awards supported laboratory instrumentation purchases (confocal microscopy systems, transmission electron microscopes, MRI scanners, mass spectrometers, high-throughput screening platforms), animal research facilities and breeding colonies (nonhuman primate housing, knockout mouse production and cryopreservation, specific pathogen free macaque colonies), and research centers in domains including cancer biology, biomolecular structure, and quantitative biology. The program also supported training programs, technology development, and educational initiatives.
Awards were predominantly Project Grants (88 percent, 5,631 awards), with smaller shares of Block Grants (10 percent, 642 awards) and Cooperative Agreements (2 percent, 116 awards). The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health funded 6,388 of 6,389 total awards, with the Office of the Director funding a single award. Combined federal dollars obligated reached $8.74 billion across the program's history dating to October 1974. Recent awards ranged widely in magnitude: shared instrumentation grants typically fell between $100,000 and $600,000 (such as a $446 thousand confocal microscopy system and a $2.24 million clinical MR scanner for hyperpolarized carbon-13 imaging), while cooperative agreements for large animal production and cryopreservation reached $4.13 million each. Smaller capacity and training awards fell below $100,000.
Award activity peaked in 2010 with 313 grants, then dropped sharply to a single award in 2012, signaling the program's de facto closure. Grant opportunities posted through 2012 included the Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (due March 21, 2012), the Midcareer Investigator Award in Mouse Pathobiology (K26, due September 20, 2012), and training mechanisms including NRSA Institutional Research Training Grants (T32, due January 7, 2014) and Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (T35, due January 7, 2014). No new funding opportunities have been posted since 2012. This program should not be pursued for current grant activity.
Objective and description
- Objective
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) provides laboratory scientists and clinical researchers with the environments and tools they need to understand, detect, treat, and prevent a wide range of diseases. This support enables discoveries that begin at a molecular and cellular level, move to animal-based studies, and then are translated to patient-oriented clinical research, resulting in cures and treatments for both common and rare diseases. NCRR connects researchers with one another and with patients and communities across the nation to harness the power of shared resources and research.
