Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 23 203
Limited Competition: Collaborative Partnership to Advance Global Health Research (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is an NIH funding opportunity (PAR-23-203) run under a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01). The core purpose is to build and sustain a formal, working partnership between NIH (with a focus on NIAID priorities) and one or more award recipients that can help expand and strengthen NIH-related research efforts around the world. Rather than funding a standalone, investigator-driven research project, this program is designed to support an ongoing collaboration that helps NIH advance global health objectives and strengthen international biomedical research capacity, coordination, and reach. Because it is a U01 cooperative agreement, the NIH is expected to be substantially involved in the work in a partnership role, meaning awardees should anticipate close coordination, shared planning, and active engagement with NIH program staff throughout the project period.
The program emphasizes developing, establishing, implementing, and maintaining a successful collaborative partnership that advances NIAID priorities and supports NIH-wide global health collaboration. In practical terms, the funded activities would be expected to facilitate international biomedical research and related programs, help connect or coordinate research networks and stakeholders, and create durable structures that allow NIH-supported research activities to function effectively across borders. The opportunity explicitly states that clinical trials are not allowed, so applicants need to ensure their proposed work does not include a clinical trial as defined by NIH. Projects may still involve research-related program support, capacity building, coordination, and other non-trial activities that enable biomedical research internationally, but they must stay within the boundaries of the FOA and the “clinical trial not allowed” designation.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S.-based public and private organizations, as well as certain non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicant types listed include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The announcement also highlights additional categories that may apply, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities/foreign organizations. Taken together, this signals NIH’s intent to enable partnerships that can be anchored in many different institutional settings, including internationally, as long as the applicant can demonstrate the commitment and operational capacity to support and extend NIH research-related programs globally.
From a funding classification standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and it is tied to multiple CFDA numbers (including 93.113, 93.121, 93.172, 93.173, 93.242, 93.307, 93.350, 93.393, 93.399, 93.846, 93.847, 93.853, 93.855, 93.865, 93.866, 93.867, 93.879, 93.989), reflecting the broad NIH/NIAID mission areas and potential alignment across programs. The listed award ceiling is $2,360,000. The source information does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided excerpt. The opportunity was created on June 5, 2023, and the original closing date listed is September 1, 2023.
Overall, this FOA is best read as an infrastructure-and-partnership building award aimed at strengthening global biomedical research collaboration with NIH, particularly around NIAID mission priorities, rather than as a mechanism to run a clinical trial or a narrow research study. Applicants would need to show they can operate effectively in an international environment, coordinate with NIH in a cooperative agreement structure, and sustain a partnership model that meaningfully expands NIH’s ability to engage in and support research-related activities worldwide.Apply for PAR 23 203
