Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA NR 17 001
The Limited Competition: Palliative Care Research Cooperative (PCRC) (U2C) funding opportunity (RFA-NR-17-001) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement offered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is focused on advancing end-of-life and palliative care (EOLPC) research by continuing support for the Palliative Care Research Cooperative (PCRC) and strengthening the shared research and resource infrastructure needed to run large, complex studies. The central aim is to enable cutting-edge palliative care research that requires nationally representative participant samples and coordination across multiple clinical and community sites, which is often difficult to achieve without an established cooperative network.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement), meaning the NIH expects substantial involvement in the funded effort rather than a typical hands-off grant model. In practical terms, the award is intended to support an organized, multi-site research cooperative that can streamline study development and execution, support consistent methods and data practices across locations, and create the operational backbone necessary for rigorous palliative care trials and studies that can generalize to real-world populations across the country. The activity falls under an Education and Health category and is associated with CFDA 93.361.
The FOA is described as a limited competition, indicating it is not a fully open call in the usual sense and is intended for a narrowly defined applicant pool consistent with program requirements (the summary does not provide the specific limitation details beyond the label). Even so, the eligibility list is broad in terms of organizational types that can generally apply to NIH opportunities. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, special district), independent school districts, public and state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and other entities as clarified in the FOA’s additional eligibility language.
Funding details indicate a maximum award ceiling of $1,000,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on April 7, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 15, 2017. Overall, the grant is designed to keep the PCRC functioning as a national platform for high-impact palliative care research, with a specific emphasis on studies that require multiple sites and broad representation to produce findings that are meaningful for diverse patients, families, and care settings.Apply for RFA NR 17 001
