Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 19 041
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offered this limited-competition grant opportunity, PAR-19-041, under the Extramural Research Facilities Restoration Program to help research institutions recover from the damage caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. The central purpose of the program is to fund the recovery and restoration of research infrastructure and research capacity that were destroyed or significantly damaged by these storms. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on getting research organizations back to operational strength by supporting repairs, restoration, and related efforts tied directly to reestablishing the ability to conduct research.
This announcement is specifically disaster-relief oriented and geographically constrained. Award benefits are restricted to institutions located in counties (or equivalent jurisdictions) that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) formally declared as major disaster areas in connection with these hurricanes. The eligible disaster areas named in the announcement are in Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Because it is a limited competition, the intent is to direct resources to a defined set of storm-impacted institutions rather than broadly opening competition to all research organizations nationwide.
Eligibility is also limited by applicant type and by restrictions on foreign involvement. The listed eligible applicant category includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting NIH's intent to support core academic and research infrastructure in affected public-sector universities and similar entities. At the same time, foreign participation is explicitly not allowed: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are prohibited. In other words, the work and the facilities supported by the grant must remain within eligible U.S. jurisdictions and cannot be routed through or substantially carried out by foreign entities or foreign organizational components.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary NIH grant in the health funding area, associated with CFDA number 93.662. The funding opportunity title includes the designation "C06 Clinical Trial Not Allowed," which signals that the program is not intended to support clinical trials. Instead, the emphasis is on facilities and research capability restoration rather than conducting clinical research interventions as part of the award. The original closing date for applications was January 4, 2019, and the opportunity record shows an NIH creation date of October 26, 2018. The summary information provided does not include a stated award ceiling or expected number of awards, so applicants would have needed to consult the full FOA text for the detailed budget parameters, allowable costs, and any program-specific limits or documentation requirements related to proving storm damage and FEMA disaster-area eligibility.
Overall, this opportunity was designed as targeted disaster recovery support for storm-impacted research institutions, with funding meant to restore damaged research facilities and capabilities in FEMA-designated major disaster areas across the listed states and territories, while tightly restricting eligibility to appropriate U.S.-based entities and excluding any foreign institutional participation.Apply for PAR 19 041
