CDC-RFA-EH-27-0074 posted as a forecast September 22, 2026: 6 expected awards at $750,000 to $900,000. That is flat funding against the expiring cycle — and the only proven way in is the consortium model Arizona used to bring three states under one award.
Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
