Project Program Grant (P01)

On this page:

Summary

The purpose of the P01 mechanism is to encourage multidisciplinary approaches to the investigation of complex problems relevant to NHLBI's mission and to facilitate economy of effort, space, and equipment. (Guidelines can be found at www.nhlbi.nih.gov/funding/policies/ppg.htm.) The program project grant is an institutional award made in the name of a program director for the support of a broadly based, long-term, multidisciplinary research program that has a well-defined central theme, research focus, or objective. The grant funds at least three interrelated projects and, often, core resources. Interrelationships and synergism among component research projects should result in greater scientific contributions than if each project were supported through a separate mechanism. The grant is based on the concept that projects closely related to a central theme can be conducted more effectively and efficiently through a coordinated, collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.

Eligibility

Applications may be submitted by domestic for-profit and non-profit organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government.

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NHLBI program staff to discuss their applications well in advance of the submission deadline.
