NIGMS provides co-funding to support research project grant applications from investigators in IDeA states whose proposals were not selected for funding by the Institute or Center.

Eligibility Criteria

• R01, R15, and MIRA R35​ applications (either new or competing continuations) submitted by investigators from institutions in IDeA states and assigned to any NIH IC are eligible to be nominated for funding consideration.
• All PIs and performance sites must be in IDeA-eligible states. If a PI moves to a non-IDeA state, the co-funded portion of the grant will be terminated.

Contacting the IC the application is assigned to

• The NIH IC that has the primary assignment for the application determines which applications it will nominate for IDeA co-funding, and should select meritorious applications that align with IC priorities but were not selected for funding.
• A PI wishing to be nominated by an NIH IC for IDeA co-funding consideration should first contact the Program Officer of the eligible application and the IDeA Co-Funding Coordinator at the NIH IC the application is assigned to.

Award Information

• The IDeA program anticipates providing up to $35​0,000 in total costs for each of the first two years of a selected co-funding application.
• IDeA co-funding is conducted once per year. The nomination period typically opens in January or February and closes in early April of each calendar year.
• Co-funding selections are typically made in June or July of each calendar year.
