Description

Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications that propose to provide infrastructure support in order to foster and enhance the research capabilities of established population research centers that are highly productive and influential in the areas of research within the mission of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB), Center for Population Research NICHD. The Population Infrastructure Program (PRIP) allows three types of research infrastructure support: Research Support Cores; Developmental Infrastructure Cores; and Public Infrastructure Cores. This FOA allows for two types of applications: (1) Standard PRIP Applications, which request funding for Research Support Cores and/or Developmental Infrastructure Cores, and may also request funding for Public Infrastructure Cores; and (2) Public Infrastructure Only Applications, which request funding only for Public Infrastructure Core(s). Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Resource-Related Research Project (R24) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of similar scientific scope, PAR-07-401, Population Research Infrastructure Program Short-term Support for Rising Programs (R24) that solicits applications also using the R24 mechanism, see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-401.html. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD intends to commit approximately $1.9 million in total costs [Direct plus Facilities and Administrative (F and A) costs] in FY 2010 to fund applications in response to this FOA. The NICHD anticipates funding three to five new and/or renewal (formerly competing continuation) grants in response to this FOA.
