Reissue of RFA-FD-22-001 - Efficient and Innovative Natural History Studies Addressing Unmet Needs in Rare Diseases (R01 Clinical Trials Optional)

Food and Drug Administration · RFA-FD-25-017 · Deadline: February 8, 2028 · Advertised ceiling: $600k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 93.103, Food and Drug Administration Research), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Program volume ~133 awards/yr

264 unique recipients in the sample; 109 repeat winners.

Actual award size (program) $500k median

range $5k – $17.6M

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 205 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
