NHLBI Program Project Applications (P01 Clinical Trials Optional) — PAR-24-065
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), NIH
NHLBI's multi-project program grant, and the institute's main route for assembling a team around a single problem: a minimum of three interrelated research projects plus optional administrative and scientific cores. The NOFO explicitly names implementation science, health disparities and translation research as within scope alongside basic and clinical work, which is where social work fits — a P01 on heart, lung, blood or sleep conditions can carry a behavioural or community-delivered project, an implementation project, and a disparities project under one roof. Budgets are large enough to fund
- Indicative award
- $1.5M–$1.8M per year (per year)Standard cap is $1,515,000 in direct costs per year. That rises to $1,765,000 per year when the application includes four or more projects with an Early Stage Investigator leading one of them, in which case a minimum of $250,000 must be directed to the ESI-led project. Maximum project period 5 years

- Who can apply
- Mid-career & senior, Any faculty rank
- Eligibility
- Higher education institutions, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, for-profits, small businesses, and state, local and tribal governments may apply. Foreign organizations cannot apply directly, though U.S. organizations may include non-domestic components (which must obtain an NCAGE rather than a CAGE code). This is a team mechanism — a single investigator cannot apply, and at least three interrelated projects are required, so a social work researcher typically enters as a project leader or core director on an institutional application rather than as the overall PI.
