Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 17 478
The Research on Transgender Health (R01) funding opportunity (NIH, PA-17-478) supports investigator-initiated research projects focused on the health and health care needs of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people across the entire lifespan. The announcement emphasizes inclusion of both youth and adults, including individuals who are questioning their gender identity as well as people who are in the process of transitioning or who have already transitioned. For the purposes of this program, the target population includes people whose gender identity differs from the sex listed on their original birth certificate and/or whose gender expression differs in substantial ways from traditional expectations tied to that sex.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for full-scale research projects that can address significant questions with strong scientific rigor. The overall aim is to generate evidence that improves understanding of TGNC health, including factors that shape health outcomes, barriers and facilitators to care, and approaches that may improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and service delivery. While the brief synopsis does not list specific research topics, the scope is broad enough to accommodate biomedical, clinical, behavioral, social, and health services research, as long as the work is clearly grounded in transgender and gender nonconforming health and produces findings with real relevance for these communities.
Eligibility is expansive and reflects NIH’s standard approach to encouraging participation across sectors. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a wide range of nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those categories). The opportunity is also open to for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses, along with other types of applicants not otherwise categorized. In addition, the FOA explicitly highlights eligibility for organizations that serve or represent specific communities and regions, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs); Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs); and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments that are not federally recognized. Faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) are also listed as eligible, signaling an intent to support research capacity in diverse institutional and geographic settings.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the National Institutes of Health. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed broadly across areas that include education, environment, health, income security, and social services, reflecting NIH’s cross-cutting institute participation and the multi-dimensional nature of health research. The opportunity is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (including 93.113, 93.121, 93.172, 93.173, and others), which typically indicates that multiple NIH institutes and centers may participate or that awards may be administered under different program authorities depending on the scientific topic. The posting date in the source data is September 8, 2017, and the original closing date shown is March 28, 2018. The excerpted listing does not provide an award ceiling or expected number of awards, which usually means applicants would need to consult the full FOA text for budget guidance, project period norms, and institute-specific considerations.
In practical terms, applicants considering this FOA would be proposing a substantial research project designed to fill key evidence gaps in transgender and gender nonconforming health. Strong applications would typically be expected to show clear public health or clinical significance, careful attention to ethical and respectful engagement with TGNC participants and communities, and methods suited to the population and research questions, including appropriate measures of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and relevant social and structural factors that can influence health outcomes.Apply for PA 17 478
