Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HD 21 002
The Centers to Advance Research in Endometriosis (CARE) (P01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) funding opportunity (RFA-HD-21-002) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant solicitation designed to build coordinated, multidisciplinary research centers focused on endometriosis. The central aim is to speed up scientific progress by bringing investigators together under a single collaborative structure that shares expertise, data, tools, and other resources. By supporting integrated programs that span basic, translational, and clinical research (while explicitly excluding clinical trials), the initiative is intended to generate stronger, faster-moving discoveries that can ultimately improve female reproductive health through better prevention strategies and more effective treatments for endometriosis.
This opportunity uses the NIH P01 center-style grant mechanism and is categorized as a discretionary grant. The program emphasizes collaboration as a core feature: applicants are expected to form a center-like entity that can pursue multiple connected lines of investigation rather than isolated projects. The research supported can include foundational biology of endometriosis, translational work that moves findings toward diagnostics or interventions, and clinical studies that do not meet the definition of a clinical trial. The overall expectation is that organizing research into a shared, multidisciplinary center will reduce duplication, encourage standardization where helpful (for example, common protocols or shared core resources), and make it easier for teams to combine complementary methods and perspectives.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental units. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, 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 that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education when applying under those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The FOA also highlights additional eligible applicant categories 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, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized, and U.S. territories or possessions.
Foreign participation is limited in a way that is typical for many NIH funding announcements. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply as the applicant organization, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. At the same time, foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed. In practice, this means a U.S.-based applicant can include certain foreign collaborators or activities as a foreign component when justified and structured according to NIH policy, but the primary applicant organization must be domestic and the application cannot be submitted by a foreign institution.
Key administrative details provided in the source information include an original closing date of November 30, 2020, and an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The announcement is associated with CFDA numbers 93.113, 93.313, 93.393, and 93.865, and it is listed under broad funding activity categories that include health (and also education, environment, income security, and social services within the general classification system used in the listing). Although the expected number of awards is not specified in the provided text, the structure and intent of the FOA make clear that NIH sought to stand up a set of dedicated endometriosis research centers capable of generating coordinated advances rather than single-project outcomes.
In plain terms, CARE is about creating research hubs for endometriosis: teams that deliberately integrate multiple scientific angles, share resources, and work in a coordinated way to produce insights and tools that can meaningfully improve prevention and treatment, while staying within a non-clinical-trial scope for human research.Apply for RFA HD 21 002
