Research Program Projects (P01) is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds broadly based, multidisciplinary, often long-term research programs organized around a specific major objective or central theme. The grant supports groups of researchers conducting interrelated projects that collectively advance a well-defined research goal, rather than narrower individual investigations.
Each component project must contribute to the program's common theme and demonstrate unity and interdependence with other projects. Support can include clinical components and shared basic resources that facilitate the total research effort. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions with the capacity to conduct large-scale multidisciplinary research.
Participating institutes include the National Cancer Institute, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Award amounts vary.

Research Program Projects (P01) | Grants & Funding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Research Program Projects (P01) For the support of a broadly based, multidisciplinary, often long-term research program which has a specific major objective or a basic theme.
A program project generally involves the organized efforts of relatively large groups, members of which are conducting research projects designed to elucidate the various aspects or components of this objective. Each research project is usually under the leadership of an established investigator.
The grant can provide support for certain basic resources used by these groups in the program, including clinical components, the sharing of which facilitates the total research effort. A program project is directed toward a range of problems having a central research focus, in contrast to the usually narrower thrust of the traditional research project.
Each project supported through this mechanism should contribute or be directly related to the common theme of the total research effort. These scientifically meritorious projects should demonstrate an essential element of unity and interdependence, i.e., a system of research activities and projects directed toward a well-defined research program goal.

PA-27-037 consolidates the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Transition Award into a single parent announcement across 20 NIH components, with the next deadline December 8, 2026. The eligibility gate is not the science — it is a mandatory change of institution and mentor between the F99 and K00 phases.

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.
