US · US National Institutes of Health (NIH) — Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) grant open #PAR-24-301
Response due Sep 25, 2027 · 00:00 UTC

Summary

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is soliciting applications for Resource Program Grants in Bioinformatics under the P41 mechanism. This program supports the development and maintenance of bioinformatics resources that serve the broader biomedical research community. Clinical trials are explicitly not allowed under this funding opportunity. The opportunity is open for a multi-year window from September 2024 through September 2027.

What they want

Applicants must propose the development, operation, and dissemination of bioinformatics resources (tools, databases, software, or related infrastructure) that provide broad utility to the biomedical and health research community relevant to NICHD's mission. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded. The P41 mechanism is a cooperative agreement supporting shared research resources. Applicants must detail resource development plans, user training and outreach, and sustainability approaches.
Technical requirements
  • Bioinformatics resource development and maintenance
  • No clinical trials permitted
  • Resource must serve the broader biomedical research community
  • Relevant to NICHD mission areas
  • P41 cooperative agreement mechanism applies

How they evaluate

  • Scientific and technical merit (peer review)
  • Significance and innovation of proposed bioinformatics resource
  • Approach and feasibility
  • Team qualifications and environment
  • Potential for broad community impact
Submission: Electronic submission via Grants.gov and NIH ASSIST system

Eligibility & certifications

SAM/Grants.gov registration requiredInstitutional assurances as required by NIH (e.g., Human Subjects, Animal Welfare if applicable)

Risks & flags

  • Multi-year open window (2024–2027) with rolling submissions may compress effective competition windows depending on internal study section scheduling
  • No dollar value disclosed — budget expectations not transparent to applicants without prior NIH P41 experience
