Our institution has received a large award that includes both subcontracts
and something referred to as "linked R01s."  These individual R01s were tied
to the entire proposal and submitted together by us as the prime site, but
were awarded as separate individual R01s.  I believe their Notice of Grant
Awards tied them to the entire large project.

It was difficult to find specific rules about these kinds of proposals and
awards.  Direction on how to prepare the proposal ultimately came from the
administrative contact for the specific institute involved.  I don't recall
the particulars but believe the proposal was submitted in response to a RFA.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Collaborative Awards?

A new faculty member told me that he has heard that NIH has a mechanism
through which they can award funds for a multi-institutional project
directly to each participating institution, similar to the NSF
Collaborative award mechanism. I have searched the NIH GPS and 398
information and do not see any evidence of this type of program. This is
for R-series awards (R01s).

This PI is trying to to avoid subcontracting, and if NIH would award each
piece to each participating organization, that would definitely avoid
subcontracting; but I see no evidence that they will do this.

Has anyone heard anything about NIH granting awards in this manner?

Thanks!
