This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits
applications to develop shared-use research facilities or research-supporting
facilities that enable collaborative research and benefit broad research
communities at large. The NOFO supports two existing construction programs: the
Biomedical Research Facilities (BRF) program and the HIV/AIDS Research
Facilities (HRF) program.

The BRF program supports the construction or modernization
of biomedical research facilities that advance basic, translational, clinical,
or behavioral science research in all areas. Intended facilities include shared
research spaces, core facilities, biorepositories, or other shared-use resource
facilities that serve a broad scientific community with a significant,
long-term impact on biomedical research.

Award budget: Application budgets are not limited but need
to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.

The allowed direct cost (Total Federal Funds Requested) is
$2,000,000 to $8,000,000 for BRF facilities and $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 for
HRF facilities. Applications with a budget less than $2,000,000 will not be
considered.

Total project period: The total project period shall not
exceed five years. Funds will be provided in a single award with up to a
60-month budget and project period.
