Research Centers

P30: Center Core Grants

Center Core Grants (P30) support shared resources and facilities for research by many researchers from different disciplines who provide a multidisciplinary approach to a collaborative research effort or from the same discipline who focus on a common research problem. The core grant is utilized by research projects, though funded independently of them.

NIA currently has no P30 initiatives with open receipt dates. New Initiatives for P30s are advertised weekly in the NIH Guide under Request for Applications (RFAs). See Funding Opportunities for recently published P30 initiatives sponsored by NIH.

P50: Specialized Centers

Specialized Centers (P50) support any part of the full range of research from very basic to clinical; they may involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary study on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area.
