Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DE 19 007
The NIDCR Mentoring Network to Support a Diverse Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Research Workforce (UE5 Clinical Trials Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity (RFA-DE-19-007) created by the Department of Health and Human Services through NIH, focused specifically on strengthening diversity in the dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) research pipeline. The central aim is to build and sustain a structured mentoring network and research education activities that help junior investigators from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical sciences develop independent research trajectories. In practical terms, the program is designed to provide long-term mentoring and targeted career development support so that these early-career researchers can become competitive for NIDCR research funding and establish durable, fundable research programs in DOC-related fields.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (UE5), which generally means the award is not simply a standard grant where the recipient operates fully independently; instead, the recipient organization and NIH/NIDCR typically collaborate more actively on planning, oversight, and execution to ensure the program meets its goals. The activity category is health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.121. A key boundary of the program is captured directly in the title: clinical trials are not allowed under this funding opportunity, so the supported activities should be centered on mentoring, training, and research education infrastructure rather than running clinical trial protocols.
A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply, reflecting the intent to build a broad and sustainable mentoring ecosystem. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses, with an additional “other” category that can apply depending on the clarifications in the full announcement. This breadth of eligibility signals that NIDCR was open to supporting a variety of organizational models that could credibly deliver a national or multi-institution mentoring network, provided the proposed structure effectively advances the program’s diversity and workforce development goals.
From a funding and scale standpoint, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $250,000 and anticipated making a single award (expected awards: 1). That combination suggests a competitive, flagship-style cooperative agreement intended to establish one primary coordinating entity responsible for designing and operating the mentoring network, developing programming, and ensuring consistent execution and evaluation across participating mentors, institutions, and trainees. The opportunity was posted/created on December 12, 2018, with an original closing date of May 30, 2019, placing it within a defined application window and indicating it was a time-limited request for applications rather than an always-open program announcement.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as an NIDCR workforce development and capacity-building initiative rather than a traditional research project grant. Its purpose is to create an organized mentoring and research education platform that can reliably help underrepresented junior investigators in the DOC research space gain guidance, build skills and professional networks, strengthen research direction, and ultimately become successful applicants for NIDCR funding as independent investigators.Apply for RFA DE 19 007
