NIH Research Facilities Construction Grant (C06)

Development of Collaborative Research Facilities or Research-Resource Facilities

Funds construction or major renovation of shared biomedical or HIV/AIDS research facilities that serve a broad research community.

OpenNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

A lab that serves ten research groups instead of one changes what a whole institution can attempt. This notice pays for building or majorly renovating that kind of shared space, not for the research that happens inside it afterward.

Two existing construction programs sit under one notice. The Biomedical Research Facilities strand funds construction or modernization across basic, translational, clโ€ฆ

Construction or modernization of shared-use research facilities โ€” core labs, biorepositories or other shared resource space โ€” serving a broad biomedical research community under the Biomedical Research Facilities program, and HIV/AIDS-specific research or research-supporting facilities aligned with NIH Office of AIDS Research priorities under the HIV/AIDS Research Facilities program.
