NIH forecasts SIREN emergency care trial network coordinating center funding

National Institutes of HealthNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and StrokeNational Heart, Lung and Blood InstituteFunding availableAug 13, 2026

Check: NIH plans a future funding opportunity for coordinating centers of its SIREN emergency care trial network, and non-federally recognized tribal governments are listed as eligible applicants, but applications are not open yet.

What it does

The notice is a forecast, and it says "Applications are not being solicited at this time." Tribal governments that are not federally recognized are among the listed eligible applicants, alongside several other entity types, with no (money reserved for a specific group). The estimated posting date is 2027-01-04 and the estimated application due date is 2027-03-04, so offices with an interest in NIH clinical trial infrastructure have roughly six months of lead time to form collaborations.

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.

  1. Note the estimated posting date of 2027-01-04 and estimated application due date of 2027-03-04 for -NS-28-001 and check the funding opportunity when it posts.
  2. Identify potential collaborators for a clinical coordinating center or data coordinating center role before the opportunity is released, since the notice is meant to allow time to develop collaborations.
