Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 20 106
The Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) program (PAR-20-106) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity that supports the creation or continuation of institutional Centers that strengthen and accelerate HIV/AIDS research. Rather than primarily funding individual research projects, the CFAR mechanism is designed to provide the shared administrative structure and centralized research infrastructure that make high-quality, collaborative HIV research easier to conduct. In practice, CFAR awards help institutions build and maintain core facilities, expert services, and common resources that investigators can use across many studies, especially resources that are difficult to obtain through standard single-investigator grants. The overall emphasis is on interdisciplinary collaboration across the full range of HIV/AIDS research areas, so that basic science, clinical, behavioral, implementation, and population-focused researchers can work from a common platform and move ideas more quickly from discovery to impact.
This FOA uses the NIH P30 Center Core Grant mechanism and is labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning the CFAR award itself is not intended to directly support clinical trials as part of the funded activities under this announcement. The CFAR is instead oriented toward enabling and enhancing research capacity through shared cores and administrative support, such as centralized scientific services, methodological expertise, shared laboratories or data resources, community engagement support, regulatory or biostatistical assistance, and other center-wide functions that elevate the productivity and quality of HIV/AIDS research at the applicant organization and among its collaborators.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other eligible entities. The announcement also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments that are not federally recognized.
At the same time, the FOA draws a clear line around non-U.S. applicants. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply as the applicant organization, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply as components. However, foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, meaning a U.S. applicant can include certain well-justified international collaborations or activities when they meet NIH policy requirements, even though a foreign institution cannot serve as the primary applicant.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant funding instrument. It is associated with a wide set of CFDA/assistance listing numbers spanning multiple NIH institutes and programs (including, among others, 93.121, 93.233, 93.242, 93.279, 93.307, 93.361, 93.393 through 93.399, 93.837 through 93.840, 93.847, 93.855, 93.865, 93.866, and 93.989), reflecting the cross-cutting nature of HIV/AIDS research and NIH involvement. The FOA record shows a creation date of February 3, 2020, and an original closing date of July 28, 2022. The public summary provided does not specify an award ceiling or expected number of awards, which typically means applicants would need to consult the full NIH announcement and related budget guidance to understand allowable costs, core structure expectations, and any institute-specific considerations.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as support for a shared, center-based HIV/AIDS research ecosystem: a CFAR award helps an institution coordinate people, platforms, and expertise so that multiple investigators can do stronger, faster, more collaborative HIV research than they could through isolated funding streams alone.Apply for PAR 20 106
