NIH Notice: Expiration of CARB R01 Research Project Funding Opportunity

The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) has issued a notice (NOT-HS-26-017) announcing the immediate expiration of the Funding Opportunity Announcement PA-22-047, titled 'Large Research Projects for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB) (R01)'. This means that no new applications will be accepted under this specific NOFO, effectively closing the window for new research project submissions in this area through this particular mechanism.

This notice serves as an administrative update for potential applicants and researchers in the field of antibiotic resistance. While this specific funding opportunity has expired, it does not preclude the NIH or AHRQ from issuing future funding opportunities related to combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers interested in this area should monitor future NIH and AHRQ announcements for new funding mechanisms. No immediate compliance actions are required for existing grant holders, but new applicants must seek alternative funding opportunities.
