Coccidioidomycosis Collaborative Research Centers (P01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant open #RFA-AI-27-012
Response due Jul 09, 2026 · 00:00 UTC

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting applications for Coccidioidomycosis Collaborative Research Centers under the P01 program mechanism. This funding opportunity targets collaborative, multi-project research focused on coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), a fungal disease caused by Coccidioides species. Clinical trials are explicitly not allowed under this announcement. The opportunity is structured as a Research Program Project (P01) grant, implying multi-investigator, interdisciplinary research center proposals.

What they want

Applicants must propose collaborative, multi-project research center activities focused on coccidioidomycosis. The P01 mechanism requires an integrated, multi-component research program. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded. Research is expected to advance scientific understanding of coccidioidomycosis, potentially covering areas such as pathogenesis, immunology, diagnostics, or therapeutics (non-clinical trial). Centers must demonstrate a collaborative structure across investigators and projects.
Technical requirements
  • Must use P01 Program Project Grant mechanism
  • Clinical trials are explicitly not allowed
  • Multi-project, collaborative research center structure required
  • Research must be focused on coccidioidomycosis

How they evaluate

Submission: Grants.gov federal grants portal (electronic submission)

Risks & flags

  • Very narrow disease-specific focus (coccidioidomycosis only) may limit the competitive pool to a small number of specialized research institutions already engaged in this field.
  • P01 program project mechanism inherently favors established research centers with existing infrastructure and multi-investigator teams, potentially disadvantaging new entrants.
