Assistance Listing 93.880

The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service last awarded grants under this program (CFDA 93.880) on September 15, 2004; no grant opportunities are currently open, and no awards have been disbursed in the past 22 years.

The program distributed $62.1 million in federal funding across 666 Project Grants between October 2000 and September 2004. Award volume peaked in 2002 with 239 grants before declining to 139 awards in the program's final year of activity. All funding came from a single source—the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service—with no involvement from other federal agencies.

Recent grant awards reflect two distinct funding mechanisms. The majority of awards were individual fellowships or trainee grants ranging from approximately $20,000 to $50,000, such as Project Grant 1F31GM073349010 ($27,170) and Project Grant 5F31GM070443020 ($36,926). A smaller number of institutional or program grants were significantly larger, including Project Grant 5T36GM08637090 ($748,713), Project Grant 5T36GM66925030 ($762,772), and Project Grant 5T36GM08641080 ($256,902), suggesting the program supported both individual researcher development and institutional training capacity.

All awards were issued as Project Grants with no Cooperative Agreements, Formula Grants, or other assistance types present in the portfolio. The program appears to have focused on predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship support, based on award nomenclature (F31 and T36 designators typical of NIH training mechanisms).

This program is inactive for business development purposes. No new grant opportunities have been posted since the final awards in September 2004, and the portfolio has not been updated in over two decades. Organizations with historical interest in this funding line should confirm discontinuation status directly with the HHS Public Health Service before allocating pursuit resources.
