US National Institutes of Health – NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Program (Parent R21 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required) – PA-19-092
Sponsor: US National Institutes of Health 		Closing Date: 16-Jan-2019
The NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant supports exploratory and developmental research projects by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of these projects. These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research.

This Parent Funding Opportunity Announcement is for basic science experimental studies involving humans, referred to in NOT-OD-18-212 as “prospective basic science studies involving human participants.” These studies fall within the NIH definition of a clinical trial and also meet the definition of basic research. Types of studies that should submit under this FOA include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes in humans for the purpose of understanding the fundamental aspects of phenomena without specific application towards processes or products in mind. Studies conducted with specific applications toward processes or products in mind should submit under the appropriate ‘Clinical Trials Required’ or ‘Clinical Trial Optional’ FOA.

The proposed project must be related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) based on their scientific missions.

Eligibility
• Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.
• Applications from Foreign Organizations: Reviewers will assess whether the project presents special opportunities for furthering research programs through the use of unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions that exist in other countries and either are not readily available in the United States or augment existing U.S. resources.

Funding
• The combined budget for direct costs for the two-year project period may not exceed USD $275,000. No more than USd $200,000 may be requested in any single year.
• The project period may not exceed 2 years.

Please see the Funding Opportunity Announcement for further information. Applications may be prepared and submitted via the NIH ASSIST system or Grants.gov. For complete instructions, you must refer to both the NIH Application Guide and the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), noting that instructions in the FOA take precedence over the Application Guide.
