NIH Common Fund Metabolomics Funded Research

Projects funded since the inception of this program can be found at https://commonfund.nih.gov/Metabolomics/fundedresearch

Pilot and Feasibility Program

Pilot and Feasibility P&F awards are intended to provide opportunities for investigators to advance basic, clinical and translational biomedical science by incorporating metabolomic technologies into their research, and to support projects that will provide preliminary data for new extramural proposal submission.

Please see our Pilot and Feasibility Program page for a list of funded Pilot and Feasibility studies.

Administrative Supplement Program

Since 2012, the NIH has issued an annual solicitation for Administrative Supplements to existing NIH grants to form new interactive collaborations between basic or clinical researchers and metabolomics experts to add a metabolomics approach to the existing Research Strategy for the project. In addition to enhancing the parent grant by adding metabolomics analyses, collaborative projects include activities to increase the expertise of the biomedical research group in key aspects of metabolomics study design, analysis, and data interpretation.
