Development of Collaborative Research Facilities or Research-Resource Facilities (C06 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for the development of collaborative research facilities or research-resource facilities. The goal of this initiative is to support the construction or modernization of biomedical research facilities that advance biomedical research in all areas. The facilities should serve a wide research community, locally, regionally, or nationally, and demonstrate value beyond a single research group or department. Some examples of supported facilities include multi-disciplinary collaborative research spaces, biosafety-level laboratories, dedicated facilities that support emerging non-animal or human-based research technologies, core laboratories, state-of-the-art facilities housing advanced imaging equipment, biorepositories, clean rooms or GLP-compliant spaces for compound synthesis. Some key points to consider: • The NIH encourages applications from institutions across all geographic regions of the country, including Institutions of Emerging Excellence (IEE) in biomedical research. • The Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) invites applications to respond to both the Biomedical Research Facilities (BRF) and HIV/AIDS Research Facilities (HRF) programs. • The BRF program supports the construction or modernization of biomedical research facilities that advance biomedical research in all areas. • The HRF program funds the development of HIV/AIDS research or research-supporting resources that align with the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) priorities.
