Attached is one example of an NIH multi-institutional award via the
NIDCD.

"The application package (consisting of a single R01 application for a
single site clinical trial and a family of R01 applications for a
multi-site clinical trial)..."

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!
