Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 16 439
The Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Research Advancement Award (SC1) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program meant to help build research strength and long-term competitiveness at institutions that have a clear historic mission and/or a demonstrated record of educating and graduating students from groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research. The core idea is developmental: it is designed to help faculty increase their ability to compete successfully for major NIH funding in the future while also expanding the overall research capacity and culture at the applicant institution.
This opportunity is specifically aimed at colleges and universities that award science degrees at the undergraduate level (B.S. or B.A.) and/or graduate level (M.S. or Ph.D.). A major eligibility requirement is that the institution must have a relatively low level of NIH R01 funding: it must have received less than 6 million dollars per year in NIH R01 support (total costs) in each of the last two fiscal years. In other words, the program is targeted to institutions that are not already heavily funded through NIH R01 awards, with the intent of strengthening the pipeline and institutional research base where resources and historical access to large-scale NIH research funding have been more limited.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, provided they meet the SCORE eligibility conditions described above. The opportunity also highlights institution types commonly associated with serving populations underrepresented in biomedical research, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The emphasis on these categories reflects the program focus on expanding participation and strengthening research training environments at institutions that play an outsized role in educating students from underrepresented backgrounds.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant under the NIH umbrella, categorized under broad federal activity areas that include health (and related categories listed in the notice). The award information provided for this posting lists an award ceiling of $250,000, indicating the maximum amount available per award under the terms of this specific announcement. The opportunity is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (now often referred to as Assistance Listing numbers), reflecting NIH participation across several institutes and centers and signaling that a range of biomedical and behavioral research areas may be relevant depending on institute priorities and the specific project proposed.
There are strict restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. In addition, foreign components, as defined by NIH policy, are not allowed under this funding opportunity. Practically, that means the applicant organization must be U.S.-based and the work supported by the award must not include foreign components as defined by NIH.
Key administrative details from the source data include the funding opportunity title Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Research Advancement Award (SC1), the opportunity number PAR-16-439, and an original closing date of 2019-09-07 (meaning the specific posting referenced is historical and applicants would need to verify whether a current reissued or replacement announcement exists). The opportunity was created on 2016-09-21. Overall, this grant is best understood as an NIH capacity-building and faculty-development pathway for eligible institutions that train large numbers of underrepresented students and want to strengthen their biomedical research programs and competitiveness for future NIH research funding.Apply for PAR 16 439
