Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OD 22 011
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the NIH Office of the Director, released a discretionary funding opportunity to establish and operate a Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Tribal Data Repository (RADx TDR). The purpose of this repository is to serve as a centralized resource for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) data that were collected through projects funded under the NIH Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative. In practical terms, the award is meant to support the creation and management of a data repository that can responsibly store, organize, and make usable AI/AN-relevant RADx data so it can be analyzed and applied in ways that benefit Tribal communities and strengthen public health responses.
A major goal of the RADx TDR is to improve understanding of how COVID-19 has affected AI/AN populations by enabling better access to and analysis of data generated during the pandemic. The repository is also positioned as a forward-looking public health tool: by making high-quality, well-governed data available for research and policy analysis, it is intended to help inform better decisions for current and future pandemics. Another explicit emphasis is supporting and promoting researchers, including AI/AN researchers, by creating a data infrastructure that can be used for ethically grounded, community-relevant research.
This opportunity uses a U24 cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning NIH expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. Cooperative agreements generally involve ongoing collaboration, coordination, and oversight between NIH staff and the awardee, particularly important here given the sensitivity of Tribal data stewardship, governance expectations, and the need for alignment with broader RADx program goals. The announcement is also clearly labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," indicating that the funded activities should not include conducting clinical trials; the work is centered on data infrastructure, repository operations, and related support functions rather than interventional human subjects research.
The funding opportunity is identified as "Emergency Award: Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Tribal Data Repository (RADx TDR) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" with the funding opportunity number RFA-OD-22-011. It was posted with a creation date of April 6, 2022, and an original closing date of May 31, 2022. The award ceiling is listed as $2,000,000. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided details, which sometimes indicates NIH may fund one or more awards depending on application quality, programmatic need, and available funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes many domestic entity types that could plausibly host a national-scale data repository and provide the administrative, technical, and governance capacity required. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, special district), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The announcement also explicitly highlights other eligible groups such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (other than federally recognized), regional organizations, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. This mix suggests NIH is aiming to maximize the pool of capable applicants while still keeping the work grounded in organizations that can credibly manage AI/AN data with appropriate engagement and safeguards.
At the same time, the opportunity draws firm boundaries around foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed. These restrictions are consistent with a program centered on sensitive U.S. Tribal data and domestic public health infrastructure, where governance, jurisdiction, and data control considerations are especially important.
The funding activity falls under education, environment, and health, reflecting the repository's role as a research-enabling and policy-informing resource rather than a narrow, single-purpose project. Multiple CFDA numbers are associated with the opportunity (93.113, 93.242, 93.310, 93.846, 93.853, 93.859, 93.866, 93.879), which often reflects the NIH-wide and trans-institute nature of the RADx initiative and the potential involvement of multiple NIH components in supporting the award. Overall, the grant is best understood as an NIH-supported effort to build a trusted, well-managed AI/AN-focused data repository from RADx-funded COVID-19 diagnostic projects, with the broader aim of enabling better analysis, better policy, and stronger research capacity for Tribal communities during pandemics and beyond.Apply for RFA OD 22 011
