Description

The NEI Research Grant for Secondary Data Analysis (R21) program is designed to provide investigators with the support necessary to conduct secondary data analyses utilizing existing database resources. Applications may be related to, but must be distinct from, the specific aims of the original data collection. -The purpose of this mechanism is to provide limited support for meritorious research projects that involve secondary data analyses using existing database resources. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -This FOA will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) mechanism. -Award Amount and Project Period: The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed two years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 two-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. -Eligible organizations: For-profit and non-profit organizations, public and private institutions (such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories), units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the federal government, units of state and local tribal governments, domestic and foreign institutions. -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
