The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects," aimed at supporting investigator-initiated research that develops essential resources for biomedical research. This program encourages small businesses to propose non-hypothesis-driven activities that provide high-quality data, materials, tools, or services relevant to the NIAID mission, which includes areas such as infectious diseases, immune function, and translational research for vaccines and therapeutics. Interested applicants should note that there is no cost-sharing requirement, and the estimated synopsis close date is January 26, 2026, with awards expected to be made by December 1, 2026.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by continuing support for the NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects. This program encourages applications for investigator-initiated research projects that will develop resources to serve biomedical research. A resource is a non-hypothesis-driven activity to provide data, materials, tools, or services that are essential to making the most timely, high quality, and cost-efficient progress in a field. The resource should be available to any qualified investigator, and should be highly quality controlled, replenishable, and not duplicate resources available commercially or through other sources. Proposed resources should be relevant to the scientific areas of the NIAID mission including the biology, pathogenesis, and host response to microbes, the mechanisms of normal immune function and immune dysfunction resulting in autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, allergy, asthma, or transplant rejection, and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious, immune-mediated, and allergic diseases. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
