Additional Information on Eligibility: Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply. Investigators from the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) will also be eligible to participate in the NIH-wide Genes and Environment Initiative (GEI). This will serve to expand the resources available to GEI, by encouraging significant participation of intramural investigators and staff whose salaries are already supported by the NIH. NIH is seeking a broad range of studies for inclusion in GEI, and recognizes that potentially eligible and meritorious studies may be ongoing within the IRP. Expanding this program to include IRP investigators will help GEI meet its goals of including the most highly scientifically meritorious projects, accessing diverse population samples, and ensuring programmatic balance across disease areas. It will also assist in meeting goals for enhancing intramural-extramural collaborations as outlined in the 2003 Institute of Medicine Report, Enhancing the Vitality of the National Institutes of Health. IRP investigators will not be directly competing for the R01 awards. They will be submitting requests to compete for the provision of IRP funds, which have been allocated for GEI. Requests for the participation of the NIH IRP will be competitively reviewed.
