--- ## Description The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks applications for resource-related research projects aimed at developing and providing essential resources for the biomedical research community. These resources—such as data, materials, tools, or services—should be non-hypothesis-driven, widely accessible, highly quality controlled, and replenishable. They must not duplicate resources available commercially or from other sources. Projects should directly support research in areas central to NIAID’s mission, including: - Biology, pathogenesis, and host response to microbes - Mechanisms of normal immune function and immune dysfunction (autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, allergy, asthma, transplant rejection) - Translational research for vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics for infectious, immune-mediated, and allergic diseases The intent is to accelerate high-quality, cost-efficient progress by making critical resources available to qualified investigators. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated application due date: January 26, 2026 *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Estimated total program funding: Not specified - Award ceiling/floor: Not specified - Number of awards: Not specified Specific award amounts and funding details will be provided in the official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) when released. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - State governments - County governments - Independent school districts - Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) - Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) - Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities - Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) - Private institutions of higher education - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. --- ## Application Process - This is a forecasted opportunity; the official NOFO is expected to be posted by November 26, 2025. - Applications will be submitted via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/). - Interested applicants should monitor the [official forecast page](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359692) for updates and full application instructions once the opportunity is live. --- ## Additional Information - Resources developed must be broadly available to the research community and not duplicate existing commercial or public resources. - Projects should align with NIAID’s scientific mission areas. - This is a non-hypothesis-driven funding mechanism. --- ## External Links - [NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects Forecast (Grants.gov)](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359692) - [NIAID Homepage](https://www.niaid.nih.gov/) - [NIH Homepage](https://www.nih.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Affiliation | |--------------------|------------------------------------|--------------|-----------------------------------------------| | Chelsea Boyd, Ph.D.| [chelsea.boyd@nih.gov](mailto:chelsea.boyd@nih.gov) | 301-761-6664 | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) |
