Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 18 001
The NIA Research Centers Coordinating Network (U24) grant opportunity (RFA-AG-18-001) is a cooperative agreement from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It sits in the health funding category (CFDA 93.866) and is structured specifically to support coordination and collaboration activities rather than a single, stand-alone research project. As a U24 cooperative agreement, the award is meant to be carried out with substantial programmatic involvement from NIH, which typically means the funded group and NIA staff work in a more active partnership to shape, guide, and monitor the coordinating effort over the project period.
The core purpose of the funding is to launch an initial, 3-year set of activities that builds a durable foundation for stronger collaboration across NIA's six different centers programs. NIA has invested heavily in these centers, and this opportunity is designed to help those investments go further by making it easier for the programs to work together, share resources, and form new interdisciplinary connections in aging research. The emphasis is on creating a network that improves how these centers interact and jointly pursue opportunities, rather than funding routine operations of any one center or duplicating what individual centers already do.
The notice makes clear that the awardee is expected to involve all six centers programs in the network. The supported activities can include building additional infrastructure for coordination and launching concrete collaborative efforts. Examples named in the opportunity include setting up systems for information and data exchange, organizing meetings, workshops, and conferences, supporting pilot studies that help teams test new cross-center ideas, and creating research opportunities aimed at beginning investigators. It can also include visiting scholar programs that move expertise and methods across institutions, and dissemination activities that help spread tools, findings, best practices, and other outputs generated through the network. The list is intentionally broad, signaling that NIA is open to a range of practical approaches as long as they clearly strengthen collaboration and produce value across all the participating programs.
In terms of scale and competition, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $750,000. That structure suggests NIA was looking for one coordinating hub or lead organization that can convene the centers programs and deliver shared infrastructure and cross-program activities on behalf of the network. The original funding opportunity was created on October 31, 2016, and the original application closing date was June 8, 2017.
Eligibility for the program is wide and includes many types of U.S. organizations and governments. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities) that are not institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); and other entities as allowed under the additional eligibility text referenced in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a coordination and capacity-building award aimed at strengthening the connective tissue among NIA's six centers programs. The expected deliverable is a functioning coordinating network with tangible collaborative mechanisms, shared activities, and pathways for investigators, trainees, and visiting scholars to engage across programs, ultimately accelerating interdisciplinary aging research by reducing barriers between centers and creating shared opportunities that no single program could efficiently build on its own.Apply for RFA AG 18 001
