Subject: New NIH Funding for Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Research
Importance: High

 

FIVE new funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) are now available, with rapidly approaching application deadlines. Announcements were published in the NIH Guide this week (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html) for applications in Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (see http://oppnet.nih.gov/about-bssr.asp for b-BSSR definition) under NIH’s new Opportunity Network. OppNet is a trans-NIH initiative to expand the agency’s funding of b-BSSR on mechanisms and processes that influence behavior at the individual, group, community and population level. All NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) share the mission of supporting b-BSSR through OppNet via a common fund.

 

Four Guide Notices solicit competitive revision applications (formerly “supplements”), and one RFA solicits applications for Mentored Career Development proposals, as follows:

·         Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications to R01, R03, R15, R21, R21/R33 or R37 NIH “parent” Grants (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-032.html) Application due date: March 2, 2010

·         Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications to R01, R03, R15, R21, R21/R33 or R37 NIH “parent” Grants, for HIV/AIDS-related Research (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-033.html) Application due date: March 25, 2010

·         Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications for Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Transfer Technology NIH “parent” Grants (R43/R44 and R41/R42) (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-034.html) Application due date: March 25, 2010

·         HIV/AIDS Funds (Not Recovery Act) for Competitive Revision applications to R01, R03, R15, R21, R21/R33 or R37 NIH “parent” Grants, for HIV/AIDS related research (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-036.html) Application due date: May 7, 2010

 

For these competitive revision announcements, applications must incorporate new b-BSSR research objectives and aims that are outside of the scope of the approved “parent” grant. This significant expansion can be accomplished by either: (1) extending the scope of extant b-BSSR by adding a fundamentally different b-BSSR objective or aim; (2) supplementing applied research in the behavioral and social sciences with b-BSSR; or (3) incorporating b-BSSR into biological, clinical, or translational research.  

 

·         Recovery Act Funds for Short-term Mentored Career Development Awards for Mid-Career and Senior Investigators (K18) (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-OD-10-003.html) Application due date: February 18, 2010

 

OppNet has dedicated approximately $8 million in ARRA funds, to be obligated by September 30, 2010, for competitive revision applications to three “Recovery Act Fund” Notices above (i.e., NOT-OD-10-032, 033, and 034)It is expected that 20 to 30 competitive revision awards will be made in FY 2010, pending the number and quality of applications and availability of funds.

 

For the HIV/AIDS solicitation not supported by Recovery Act Funds (NOT-OD-10-036), this solicitation differs from NOT-OD-10-033 in two ways: First, it encourages investigators with any eligible NIH research grant (i.e., not only AIDS-related NIH grants) to supplement “parent” grant studies with additional research that applies to b-BSSR and to HIV/AIDS risk, prevention, disease progression, and/or treatment.  Second, OppNet expects to make between 5-10 competitive revision awards in FY2010 from $2 million in Congressionally-appropriated funds for HIV/AIDS-related research under this Notice. 

 

To reiterate differences between these FIVE FOAs, please note that for four of these (NOT-OD-10-032, 033, 034 and RFA-OD-10-003), grants will be supported from Recovery Act funds (see http://recovery.nih.gov/ for additional information), and for the remaining FOA, support will come from Congressionally-appropriated funds for HIV/AIDS-related research.
