Purpose and Scope
ORIP’s intent with this FOA is to support resource-related research projects that are aimed at developing and characterizing new animal-based resources, improving existing resources, or acquiring deep understanding of a model system to improve the utilization, accessibility and translational values of animal models to the research community. The NIH-wide mission of ORIP is to support all NIH ICs that fund basic, preclinical, and translational research by strengthening their existing programs, developing research resources, advancing areas of emerging science, and developing new initiatives to move biomedical research forward. Therefore, proposed studies, models, technologies, and biological materials must be applicable to two or more NIH ICs and must explore multiple body systems or evaluate diseases and processes that impact multiple body systems.
An application under this FOA may be predominantly research based if that research potentially leads to the development of tools or resources that will have a broad impact on the NIH-wide biomedical research community. An application also may be aimed at final development or enhancement of existing resources.
Applications responding to this FOA should:
- Demonstrate the need for the proposed resources or technologies/tools within broad biomedical research communities and the relevance of the resources and technologies/tools to a range of scientific disciplines.
- Address the impact, benefit, utilization, distribution, and accessibility of the proposed resources and technologies/tools to broad biomedical research areas supported by multiple NIH ICs.
- Describe plans to track potential impact of the proposed resources and technologies/tools.
- Describe potential sources of support for the resources and plans to ensure the continued availability of the resources to the research community after the ORIP-supported grant ends, such as plans to deposit the resources to stock centers or databases accessible to the research community.
Funding Information
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to commit $5,000,000 per fiscal year in FY 2023-2026 to fund at least six awards per fiscal year.
- The duration of the proposed project may not exceed four years.
