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.

OppNet initiative and answers to FOA-related
FAQs.
