Designation/Position- Funding Opportunity Announcement FOA
Funding Opportunity Announcement FOA invites application for Indo-US Collaborative Vision Research Program from Multiple Principal Investigator from US & Indian Institutions.
About- Scientific collaborations between India and the U.S.have been successfully conducted for several years under a variety of bilateral agreements. Recognizing that continuing collaborative research focused on eye diseases and visual disorders would be of mutual benefit to India and the U.S., the Indian Department of Biotechnology (DBT), the U.S. National Eye Institute (NEI), and a Joint Working Group (JWG) developed a strategic plan for collaborations and to facilitate the expedited review and clearance of proposed bilateral projects. Both the DBT and the NEI have pledged funds to support joint activities pursued under this bilateral program. Funding Opportunity Announcement(FOA)

Required Registrations
Applicant organizations must complete and maintain several registrations as described in the NIH SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide to be eligible to apply for or receive an award. Must complete all registrations prior to the US application submission. Registration can take 6 weeks or more, so applicant organizations should begin the registration process as soon as possible. In addition, all PD(s)/PI(s) must have an NIH eRA Commons account. PD(s)/PI(s) should work with their organizational officials to either create a new account or to affiliate their existing account with the applicant organization in eRA Commons. The processes and timelines for applicant organization and PD/PI registrations in detailed at: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/prepare-to-apply-andregister/register.htm.
- Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS) – All registrations require that applicants must issue a DUNS number. After obtaining a DUNS number, applicants can begin both SAM and eRA Commons registrations. Must use the same DUNS number for all registrations, as well as on the grant application.
- System for Award Management (SAM) (formerly CCR) – Applicants must complete and maintain an active registration, which requires renewal at least annually. The renewal process may require as much time as the initial registration. SAM registration includes the assignment of a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code for domestic organizations which have not already been assigned a CAGE Code.
- NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code – Foreign organizations must obtain an NCAGE code (in lieu of a CAGE code) in order to register in SAM.
- eRA Commons – Applicants must have an active DUNS number and SAM registration in order to complete the eRA Commons registration. Organizations can register with the eRA Commons as they are working through their SAM or Grants.gov registration. eRA Commons requires organizations to identify at least one Signing Official (SO) and at least one Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) account in order to submit an application.
- Grants.gov – Applicants must have an active DUNS number and SAM registration in order to complete the Grants.gov registration.
Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD(s)/PI(s)
All PD(s)/PI(s) must have an eRA Commons account. PD(s)/PI(s) should work with their organizational officials to either create a new account or to affiliate their existing account with the applicant organization in eRA Commons. If the PD/PI is also the organizational Signing Official, they must have two distinct eRA Commons accounts, one for each role. Obtaining an eRA Commons account can take up to 2 weeks.
Eligible Individuals (Program Director (PD) /Principal Investigator (PI)
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the (PD(s)/PI(s))is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
