NIDCR Prospective Observational or Biomarker Validation Study Cooperative Agreement (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
General · National Institutes of Health · Nationwide
This is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement, sponsored by NIDCR, that funds investigator-initiated observational or biomarker validation studies requiring prospective data collection, open to eligible U.S.-based applicants with a deadline listed as July 5, 2029.
This listing covers a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), issued through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), for a Cooperative Agreement titled "Prospective Observational or Biomarker Validation Study Cooperative Agreement (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)."
According to the official summary, this funding opportunity supports investigator-initiated observational studies or biomarker validation studies that require prospective collection of data or biospecimens, or continued analysis of existing data or biospecimens. This is a cooperative agreement, meaning NIH staff are substantially involved in the funded project, not just a hands-off grant.
The funding mechanism is a U01 award, and clinical trials are explicitly not allowed under this NOFO. This distinguishes it from other NIH funding opportunities that do support trial-based research.
Eligible applicants are directed to review Section III of the NOFO for full eligibility details. What is specified here is that foreign (non-U.S.) organizations are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed. Eligible states are listed as all U.S. states.
No award floor, ceiling, or specific dollar amount is provided in the available data, so applicants should confirm funding levels directly through the official NOFO. The deadline listed is July 5, 2029, though applicants should verify this date and any earlier internal deadlines at the source.
This opportunity may be relevant to small business owners only if they operate as research entities or contractors capable of conducting NIH-funded observational or biomarker research; it is not a general small-business grant. Full details, eligibility criteria, and application requirements should be confirmed at the official grants.gov listing before proceeding.
