National Institutes of Health (NIH)National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (Ninds)Funding availableSep 10, 2026
Check: NIH has forecast a future competition for the national coordinating and data centers of its stroke clinical trial network, and lists tribal governments that are not federally recognized among eligible applicants, but no applications are being accepted yet.
What it does
The forecast is an advance notice: a national coordinating center (the central hub that runs the research network) and a national data management coordinating center (which handles the network's trial data) will be funded through a future solicitation. The listed eligibility category is 'Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized)', and the posting and due dates shown are estimates for fiscal year 2029, so tribal grants offices should plan for a later window rather than act on a current deadline.
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.
: 93.853
What to do next
- Watch for the formal funding opportunity (-NS-28-003, 93.853); the forecast estimates posting on 2027-12-20.
- If interested, begin building research partnerships now, since the notice is intended to give applicants time to develop collaborations before the estimated application due date of 2028-01-25.
