Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Cooperative Agreement Conference (U13) grant award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Since the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number of mechanisms, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Although the financial plans of the NICHD provide support for this program, awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
