NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION REQUEST FOR COMPETING APPLICATIONS: NHLBI HBCU RESEARCH SCIENTIST AWARD RELEASE DATE: June 24, 2004 NOTICE: NOT-HL-04-118 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/) APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE: September 15, 2004 The NHLBI is requesting competing renewal applications from the four NHLBI Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Research Scientist Awards (see CRISP Data Base: 5UH1HL003679 to Howard University; 5UH1HL003676 to Morehouse School of Medicine; 5UH1HL059868 to North Carolina Central University; and 5UH1HL003674 to Texas Southern University). These programs were awarded as a result of Request for Applications (RFA) HL-02-012, HBCU Research Scientist Award, and were successful in transitioning to Phase II of the program. The goals of the program are to assist such HBCUs in strengthening and augmenting their capacity and resources for the conduct of biomedical and/or behavioral research in areas related to cardiovascular, lung, or blood health and disease, transfusion medicine, or sleep disorders. The HBCU Research Scientist Award has been instrumental in achieving this goal, but requires additional resources to transition to independent support. This re-competition will continue to facilitate research capacity building at these HBCUs, increase the number of minority individuals involved in biomedical and behavioral research, and reduce health disparities. MECHANISM OF SUPPORT The renewal of the HBCU Research Scientist Awards will use the education projects (R25) administrative and funding mechanism of support. The R25 is an award mechanism to develop and/or implement a program as it relates to a category in one or more of the areas of education, information, training, technical assistance, coordination, or evaluation. Under this mechanism, the Principal Investigator retains the primary responsibility and role for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs will be eight percent of direct costs awarded. Applicants should contact NHLBI staff regarding the total costs they may apply for in each of the budget periods. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this Notice may not exceed five (5) years. This program will end as of September 29, 2010. No renewal of the program will occur. The anticipated award date is September 1, 2005. SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION Applications must be prepared using the PHS 398 research grant application instructions and forms (rev. 5/2001). Applications must have a DUN and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number as the Universal Identifier when applying for Federal grants or cooperative agreements.
