About this grant
The purpose of this notice is to inform the research community that the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) intends to publish a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), Limited Competition: Community-Partnered Nursing Research Centers for Schools and Colleges of Nursing with Limited NIH Funding (P20 Clinical Trial Optional). This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
This NOFO will utilize the P20 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
Research Initiative Details
The P20 Exploratory Centers will aim to foster nursing-led programs that promote community-partnered research to address persistent health challenges. This will be accomplished by developing and enhancing capacity for interdisciplinary, community-partnered research that advances the NINR mission by:
• Establishing centralized research resources in Schools or Colleges of Nursing (SON/CONs).
• Building the Center's community-partnered research expertise.
• Developing nurse-led, interdisciplinary research teams that partner with the community in the development, implementation, and evaluation of research efforts.
This will be a limited competition request for applications. Eligible Schools or Colleges of Nursing must award research doctoral degrees and have received no more than $5 million dollars per year of NIH support (in both direct and F&A/indirect costs) in any 4 of the last 7 fiscal years (does not have to be consecutive).
