Purpose: This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH under the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Recovery Act” or “ARRA”), Public Law 111-5, solicits through this limited competition applications from domestic (United States) institutions/organizations proposing to develop and implement critical research innovations in one or more of the following five thematic areas:

  • Applying Genomics and Other High Throughput Technologies
  • Translating Basic Science Discoveries into New and Better Treatments
  • Using Science to Enable Health Care Reform
  • Focusing on Global Health
  • Reinvigorating the Biomedical Research Community

This program is a trans-NIH effort supported by Recovery Act funds from the Office of the Director.  Applicants may propose to address either a specific disease- or technology-related research question relevant to the mission of one or more participating Institutes and Centers, or propose the creation of a unique infrastructure/resource designed to accelerate scientific progress in the future.

Monday, 07 December 2009 12:03


Purpose: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose the engineering of novel, multifunctional drug and gene delivery systems that can target therapies toparticular cells and intracellular compartments and can monitor delivery and determine therapeutic efficacy through the integration of advanced imaging and/or sensing technologies into the delivery system. Applications should propose to develop at least one prototype system by the end of the project period.  Applications that are submitted to this FOA should include investigators from both the drug/gene delivery and imaging fields.  Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the Multi-PD/PI model to meet the imaging and drug/gene delivery expertise.

Key Dates:

Release/Posted Date: December 7, 2009

Opening Date: January 5, 2010 (Earliest date an application may be submitted to Grants.gov)

Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): 30 days before Application Due Dates
