Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 22 004
The NIA Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (REDI) Mentored Entrepreneurial Career Development Award is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) designed to help early-career investigators build toward research independence through a structured, mentored career development experience. It is a K01 award mechanism, and it specifically does not allow clinical trials. The core aim is to provide substantial protected time and support over a multi-year period so that a promising researcher can deepen their expertise, expand their research skills, and develop a clear trajectory to becoming an independent investigator in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical science areas relevant to aging.
This opportunity supports an intensive, supervised career development plan lasting three to five years. In practical terms, the award is meant to buy time: time to train, to publish, to build an intellectual and technical niche, and to assemble the preliminary data and professional track record typically needed to compete for independent research awards later on. While the title highlights "Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (REDI)," the framing indicates an emphasis on developing research independence with an added orientation toward entrepreneurial or translational thinking, meaning the program is likely intended to help researchers better understand how to move ideas, tools, interventions, or discoveries toward real-world use, without the award itself being a vehicle for running a clinical trial.
The funding opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number provided is 93.866. The opportunity number is RFA-AG-22-004, with a creation date of June 10, 2021, and an original closing date of September 29, 2021. The excerpted source data does not provide an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, so those specifics are not available from the text provided.
A wide range of applicant organizations are eligible. Eligible applicants include multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Higher education institutions are eligible across categories, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. Housing authorities (public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities) are included, along with Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. The eligibility list also spans nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The opportunity also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant types, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), eligible federal government agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments other than federally recognized entities, regional organizations, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, there are clear restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, described as foreign organizations or foreign institutions, are not eligible to apply. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. The notice further states that foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. In other words, the project and its components need to be fully domestic under NIH policy, and applicants should plan the work accordingly.
Overall, this REDI K01 opportunity is best understood as a mentored career development award from NIA that funds several years of protected time and structured mentorship to help a researcher mature into an independent investigator, with the explicit condition that the proposed work cannot include a clinical trial and with strict limits against foreign entities or foreign components.Apply for RFA AG 22 004
