Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 17 043
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity "Addressing Health Disparities through Effective Interventions Among Immigrant Populations (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number: PA-17-043) is a discretionary research grant designed to move beyond describing immigrant health disparities and instead support the development, testing, and implementation of practical interventions that can reduce those disparities within U.S. immigrant communities. The central goal is to fund innovative, evidence-building research that identifies what works, for whom it works, and under what real-world conditions, with a clear emphasis on interventions that can be delivered, adopted, and sustained in settings that immigrants actually use (such as clinics, schools, workplaces, social service organizations, and community or faith-based sites). The announcement is positioned within NIH health-related research priorities and is tied to multiple CFDA program areas (93.113, 93.273, 93.279, 93.307, 93.399), reflecting the cross-cutting nature of immigrant health, disparities research, prevention, and related public health challenges.
This FOA uses the R01 mechanism, which generally supports substantial, multi-year research projects aimed at producing rigorous, generalizable findings. While the specific award ceiling and expected number of awards are not provided in the source text, the intent is clearly to support intervention-focused research rather than purely observational or descriptive studies. Because it is an NIH opportunity, applicants should expect expectations around strong study design, appropriate analytic approaches, ethical protections for participants (including potentially heightened sensitivity given immigration-related concerns), and a convincing plan for implementation or translation into practice. The activity category spans education, environment, and health, which signals that projects can address disparities through clinical care interventions as well as through social, behavioral, structural, or systems-level strategies that influence health outcomes.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S.-based entities that can carry out health research, including state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The FOA also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant types that are often deeply connected to underserved communities, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. This emphasis suggests NIH is encouraging applicants with established trust and infrastructure within immigrant and minority communities, which can be crucial for recruitment, culturally grounded intervention design, and sustained impact.
At the same time, the FOA draws clear boundaries around foreign eligibility. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant organization, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning a U.S.-based applicant can include certain international elements if they are justified and structured in compliance with NIH rules. Practically, this can matter for studies involving transnational factors that shape immigrant health (for example, health behaviors, exposures, or care continuity connected to a country of origin), as long as the applicant and overall project remain grounded in U.S. immigrant populations and meet NIH policy requirements.
Key administrative details in the source include the NIH as the funding agency, the FOA creation date of November 1, 2016, and an original closing date of January 24, 2018. The opportunity category is listed as discretionary, and the instrument type is a grant. Overall, the FOA is best understood as a call for well-designed intervention research that directly targets health disparities affecting immigrant populations in the United States, with strong encouragement for partnerships and settings that can realistically deliver and maintain effective solutions.Apply for PA 17 043
