January 9, 2029 (Full Application)

Estimated total program funding: $1,300,000; ~2 awards expected; award size not specified.

Supports centers providing animal and biological materials/resources to enhance rigor, transparency, and reproducibility in biomedical research.

Foreign organizations and foreign components are not eligible.

--- ## Description This opportunity supports the creation and maintenance of Animal and Biological Material Resource Centers. These centers are intended to provide special colonies of laboratory animals, associated services, and other resources (informatics tools, reagents, cell/tissue/organoid cultures, and genetic stocks) that serve the biomedical research community at local, regional, and national levels. Projects must facilitate the optimization and enhancement of scientific rigor, transparency, and experimental reproducibility in biomedical research. Centers funded under this program must have broad application across multiple NIH Institutes or Centers and align with the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) mission. Both the continuation of existing resources and the development of new resources are supported. A key requirement is close coordination with efforts to develop new approach methodologies (NAMs) that complement traditional animal-based research, such as cell culture, organoids, computational models, and microphysiological systems. An applied research component should be included to generate comparative data and promote integration of predictive human disease models. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with NIH scientific/research staff before preparing an application to discuss the appropriateness and competitiveness of their proposed plans. --- ## Due Dates - January 9, 2029 (Full Application) --- ## Funding Amount - Estimated total program funding: $1,300,000 - Approximately 2 awards expected - No specified minimum or maximum per award; award size and duration are not detailed in the listing. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Private institutions of higher education - State, county, city, or township governments - Special district governments - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) - Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding higher education institutions) - Others as specified in the full announcement **Not eligible:** - Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities - Non-domestic components of U.S. organizations - Foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement Applicants should refer to Section III of the full announcement for additional eligibility details. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359646). - Prior consultation with NIH/ORIP scientific staff is strongly encouraged to ensure programmatic fit and competitiveness. - No cost sharing or matching is required. --- ## Additional Information - The program aims to support both existing and new resource centers. - A strong emphasis is placed on integrating new approach methodologies (NAMs) and generating comparative data for biomedical research. - Projects must serve multiple NIH Institutes or Centers. --- ## External Links - [Official Grants.gov Opportunity Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359646) - [NIH ORIP Mission](https://orip.nih.gov/about-orip) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | |-------------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------| | Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) | [ORIPDCM@mail.nih.gov](mailto:ORIPDCM@mail.nih.gov) | 301-496-4000 |
