| Funding Opportunity Guidance |
| When reviewing grant opportunities, please:
- Confirm institutional eligibility. UC Irvine is designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Minority Serving Institution (MSI). However, some funding is restricted to community-based organizations, EPSCoR states, or other institution types where UCI may not qualify. If unsure, please contact your school/department contracts and grants administrator or Sponsored Projects staff.
- Confirm PI eligibility. Carefully review solicitation requirements and definitions (e.g., "basic research," "translational research"). Contact the program officer listed in the solicitation if uncertain.
- Identify submission restrictions. Check if there are limits on the number of LOIs, preproposals or proposals UCI can submit. These "limited submission" opportunities are managed through internal competitions by the Office of Research, announced via Zotmail and posted on Fundopp.
- Report new limited submissions. If you discover a limited opportunity we haven't announced, please notify your school's Research Development Officer or Dr. Mike Gallo immediately to allow adequate preparation time.
The current federal funding landscape is generating numerous off-cycle and supplemental foundation opportunities, making your role in determining eligibility and communicating with us more critical than ever.
Questions? Please reach out to Dr. Gallo, Director of Research Development in the Office of Research. | |

| Interim Guidance on the Reopening of NIH Extramural Activities |
| Rescheduling October Application Due Dates: All grant applications submitted late for due dates between Oct. 1, 2025, and Dec. 5, 2025, will be accepted through Dec. 8, 2025. There is no additional 2-week late window. This notice applies to all relevant Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), including those that indicate no late applications will be accepted. Institutions need not request advance permission to submit late due to the government shutdown and a cover letter providing a justification is not required.
Rescheduling Peer Review Meetings: The percent of applications discussed in most meetings will be reduced to 30-35%, instead of the current ~50%. Summary statements will be simplified. The modifications in review practices will be in place through the May 2026 Advisory Council.

| Implementing a Unified NIH Funding Strategy to Guide Consistent and Clearer Award Decisions |
| Building on the August NIH director’s statement, NIH released this framework (effective January 2026 Council round).
Going forward, Institutes, Centers and Offices (ICOs) will be considering peer review information in its entirety. NIH ICOs will not rely on funding paylines in developing pay plans. Rather, ICOs will consider these scores in context of their and NIH’s priorities, strategic plans and budgets. ICO directors will continue to have the delegated authority to decide what is funded by their ICOs.

| University of California (UC) Guidance on the Revised NIH Public Access Policy, Effective July 2025 |
| In 2022, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a memo requiring all federal agencies to develop or revise their respective agency policies to make journal articles and data arising from federally funded research publicly available immediately upon publication, updating previous requirements which allowed for an embargo (delay after publication) of up to 12 months. OSTP requires that these new or revised federal funding agency policies go into effect no later than Dec. 31, 2025. Implementation details and guidance will vary; see your funder’s website for more details.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has revised its Public Access Policy effective July 1, 2025. (Originally, this revised policy had an effective date of Dec. 31, 2025, but in April, NIH moved that date to July.)
Review the Guidance on the Revised NIH Public Access Policy, Effective July 2025, for more details about how to comply with the NIH policy. | |

| Michael Lekawa, MD (Surgery), received a grant renewal from the Department of Health & Human Services titled, “UCI-MCP Program.” The grant will continue to support the expansion of the University of California Irvine Military Civilian Program (UCI-MCP), the goal of which is to provide military medical teams with the training and ongoing experience to maintain continuous readiness to ensure the highest quality trauma care during national disasters and military conflict. The primary objective of the UCI-MCP is to provide hands-on trauma training and ongoing independent clinical experience with civilian peer collaboration to two to three interdisciplinary teams of up to ten members each annually. The UCI-MCP Program remains committed to enhancing military medical personnel deployment readiness to provide high-quality trauma care.

Limited: Mary Kay Ash Foundation Research GrantThe Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center is seeking to nominate one candidate for this funding opportunity. Funds translational research projects focused on cancers affecting women, including breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, uterine and other predominant female cancers.

| Limited: W.M. Keck Foundation Research Program Grants |
| In reviewing proposals, the W.M. Keck Foundation program officers first ask, “What’s the new science?” Concept papers should provide a compelling argument that new knowledge discovery will result from the proposed project. The project should focus on answering a specific question and not be an open-ended investigation. Research may be any of the STEM fields. Keck does not want projects that reflect the “next logical step” in your research; rather, they encourage out-of-the-box thinking. The foundation focuses on basic research enabling pioneering discoveries. They believe new technologies and methodologies are often required to be able to ask hard questions or revisit old paradigms, but the technology cannot be the end goal – investigating a problem with the technology you develop should be the goal. For this reason, most grants involve collaborators from other labs and other fields. Apply via InfoReady.
