The National Institutes of Health is issuing a forecast for the Parent R35 Investigator-Focused Award to support research programs for investigators at all career stages, including Early Stage Investigators. Unlike traditional grants that fund specific projects with predefined aims, this award focuses on the investigator's overall research program within the mission of the awarding Institute or Center. It is intended to serve as the recipient's primary or sole source of research funding from the awarding entity. This funding mechanism is designed to provide scientific freedom and stability, allowing researchers to pursue ambitious and innovative studies without the constant need to seek new funding streams. By reducing the administrative burden of grant management, the award enables investigators to dedicate more time to research, mentoring, and scientific service, thereby increasing the potential for significant scientific breakthroughs.

Full Description

Show more

The National Institutes of Health intends to publish a Parent R35 "Investigator-Focused Award" Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to fund research programs for investigators at all career stages, including Early Stage Investigators (ESIs). The Parent R35 Investigator-Focused Award is intended to provide support for an investigator's program of research within the mission of the awarding Institute or Center (IC) rather than support for a pre-defined project with specific aims. 

The R35 is typically expected to be an investigator's primary (or only) source of research funding from the awarding IC.  

An R35 award gives investigators funding stability and scientific freedom. With R35 support, researchers can pursue ambitious and innovative studies without the pressure of constantly seeking new funding streams. Key benefits include: 

  • Providing flexibility to follow the science as it evolves within the awarding IC's mission.
  • Providing stability to take on important, challenging research questions.
  • Allowing recipients to devote sufficient time to research, mentoring, and scientific service, and less time to grant administration.
  • Providing a high potential for scientific breakthroughs by enabling investigators to think broadly and pursue promising opportunities.

Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource-Constrained Settings--Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN)The Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN) is a National Institutes of Health initiative focused on conducting implementation science research to combat adolescent HIV. By developing and testing scalable, low-resource care delivery models in low- and middle-income countries, the network aims to generate robust evidence on HIV incidence, prevention uptake, and viral suppression. These international studies leverage large adolescent populations and innovative, cost-effective service delivery methods to create practice-ready strategies that can be adapted for marginalized and high-burden populations within the United States. The program addresses critical gaps in the U.S. healthcare system where adolescents face similar barriers to care as those in resource-constrained global settings, including poverty, stigma, and fragmented services. Comprising Clinical Research Centers and a Data and Coordinating Center, PATC3H-IN supports the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative by accelerating the translation of resilient and cost-conscious care models into domestic practice. This effort is authorized under the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to improve overall care outcomes and prevent new HIV acquisitions among at-risk youth.
