Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 18 783
The grant opportunity titled "Exposure Analysis Services for the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program (Admin Supp - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 18-783) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) administrative supplement announcement designed to expand or support existing NIH-funded infrastructure rather than create brand-new standalone projects. Its main purpose is to provide added funds to current Children s Health Exposure Analysis Resource (CHEAR) awardees so they can deliver exposure analysis services that directly support the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program. In practical terms, the announcement is about strengthening laboratory and data capabilities already in place within CHEAR so that ECHO investigators can access high-quality environmental exposure measurements and related analytical support needed for ECHO research.
The focus of the work is "exposure analysis services," meaning the kinds of laboratory measurements, biomonitoring assays, analytical chemistry, and associated data handling that help researchers understand what environmental chemicals or other exposures children may encounter and how those exposures might relate to health outcomes. Rather than funding a clinical trial or an intervention study, the supplement supports service-oriented analytical capacity. The FOA explicitly notes "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," signaling that the funded activities must not include conducting clinical trials, but instead center on providing analytical services and support functions that enable ECHO science.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow. Applications are only encouraged from currently funded CHEAR grantees, specifically the CHEAR Coordinating Center, CHEAR Data Center, and CHEAR Laboratory Network grantees. This reflects the administrative supplement mechanism: NIH is adding funding onto active awards held by these CHEAR entities so they can take on additional work aligned with ECHO program needs. While the source listing shows eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the text makes clear that this particular opportunity is limited to those existing CHEAR award holders in the specified roles, and applicants must follow the FOA s detailed eligibility rules.
There are also firm restrictions on foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. These limitations mean the supplement-funded work must be carried out within eligible U.S.-based CHEAR infrastructure without foreign components, which helps NIH maintain consistent oversight and compliance under the supplement award structure.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary NIH grant in the Environment and Health activity area (CFDA 93.113). The FOA was created on 2018-05-14 and had an original closing date of 2018-06-15, indicating it was time-limited and intended to quickly align CHEAR services with ECHO demands. The listing does not provide an award ceiling or expected number of awards, which often happens in supplement announcements when the amount and number depend on program priorities, availability of funds, and the scope of additional work proposed by the eligible existing awardees.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NIH using supplemental funding to scale up CHEAR s established analytical and data resources so they can function as a backbone for ECHO-related exposure measurement needs. The end goal is to ensure ECHO investigators have access to consistent, high-quality exposure data and analytic support through CHEAR, improving the ability of the ECHO program to study how environmental factors influence child health outcomes without funding new clinical trials under this mechanism.Apply for PA 18 783
