NIH forecasts R3PEATS RM1 multi-team grant; non-federally recognized tribes eligible

National Institutes of HealthFunding availableSep 11, 2026

Check: NIH has forecast a research funding opportunity (-RM-28-012) that lists tribal governments that are not federally recognized among eligible applicants, with no money reserved for tribes (a , meaning a share of funds set apart for a specific group).

What it does

Tribal governments that are not federally recognized may apply for this NIH multi-team research award (RM1, a multi-component research ), which funds coordinated teams studying one central biomedical question through complementary methods, model systems, or populations. Because the award is open to all listed applicants and carries no , tribal applicants compete with other eligible groups. The forecast gives an estimated posting in July 2027 and an estimated due date in October 2027, so teams interested in applying would need to prepare well ahead of those dates.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.

What to do next

  1. Watch for the posting of -RM-28-012, estimated 2027-07-01, and confirm eligibility against the final notice.
  2. Plan a research design that builds in replication and identifies sources of biological variability, as the project requirements describe, before the estimated application due date of 2027-10-01.
