Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 17 072
This opportunity, titled "Revision Awards to Institutional Training Programs to Advance Research on Alzheimers Disease and Alzheimers Disease Related Dementias (T32)," is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement that supports revisions to existing institutional research training programs rather than brand-new training grants. The core idea is to help currently funded NIH training programs meaningfully incorporate Alzheimers disease (AD) and Alzheimers disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) into what they already do, either by adding a new AD/ADRD focus or by substantially expanding AD/ADRD content that is already present. The goal is not a small add-on, but a revision that integrates AD/ADRD in a way that fits naturally with the training program's ongoing scientific theme and structure, so trainees experience AD/ADRD research as a cohesive part of the program rather than a disconnected side project.
The announcement is specifically aimed at institutions that already hold active institutional training grants supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). In other words, the applicant must already be running an eligible NIH institutional training program and is seeking additional support through a "revision" application to adjust and broaden the program's training emphasis toward AD/ADRD. Since it is framed as a revision to an ongoing program, the expectation is that the proposed changes will build directly on existing training infrastructure, mentors, coursework, research opportunities, and administrative oversight, while also strengthening the programs capacity to train researchers who can contribute to the AD/ADRD field.
The funding mechanism is a grant under an education and health activity category, consistent with NIH's institutional training framework (T32). The opportunity is listed under CFDA numbers 93.361 and 93.866. The eligible applicant type provided is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the institutional nature of T32 training programs. The notice also makes eligibility boundaries clear on geography: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions cannot apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. Applicants are directed to consult the full funding opportunity for detailed eligibility rules, which typically cover institutional requirements, training environment expectations, and any limitations related to the parent award being revised.
Key administrative details from the source data include the funding opportunity number PAR 17 072, classification as a discretionary opportunity, and an original closing date of January 25, 2019. The award ceiling is listed as $300,000, indicating an upper bound on the amount that could be awarded under this revision mechanism. While the expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data, the ceiling and the focus on revisions suggest a targeted effort to rapidly increase the AD/ADRD training footprint by leveraging existing NIH-supported training programs. The funding announcement was created on December 9, 2016, aligning with broader federal efforts during that period to accelerate research capacity and workforce development in AD/ADRD.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as workforce development support aimed at strengthening the pipeline of researchers trained to address Alzheimers and related dementias. Rather than funding standalone research projects, it invests in training environments by encouraging institutions already running NIA or NINR training programs to retool and expand their curricula, mentorship, and trainee research experiences so that AD/ADRD becomes a clear, integrated, and sustained emphasis within the institutional training program.Apply for PAR 17 072
