Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity RFA-HG-15-025 is a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement for a single award to establish and operate a Data Analysis and Coordinating Center (DACC) that supports NHGRI research training and career development programs. It uses the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism, which means the awardee would not just receive funds and operate independently, but would work in an ongoing, collaborative partnership with NHGRI staff. The core purpose is to create a centralized hub that can coordinate, manage, and analyze information across NHGRI-supported training and career development activities, enabling consistent tracking, evaluation, and reporting of program outcomes.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity in the health category, with an expected one award and an estimated total funding level of $520,000. The program does not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was posted on August 12, 2015, and had an application due date of October 20, 2015, with an archive date of November 20, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.172 (Human Genome Research), signaling that it sits within NHGRI's broader mission to advance genomics and to build a strong, well-trained scientific workforce in this area.
The applicant pool is broad across U.S.-based organizations, spanning public and private institutions of higher education, state governments, tribal governments (including federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. For-profit organizations (other than small businesses) are also listed as eligible. The eligibility language explicitly includes a range of mission-focused institutional types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes foreign institutions and foreign components: non-U.S. entities may not apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not allowed. In practice, that means the DACC must be operated as a domestic U.S. effort, even if it interfaces with broadly distributed trainees, mentors, or programs.
Functionally, the DACC concept signals a center that would serve as the backbone for data-driven coordination of NHGRI training and career development programs. While the summary text provided does not list specific tasks, DACCs in NIH contexts commonly handle standardized data collection and curation, develop common definitions and metrics, maintain secure databases, support cross-program reporting, and conduct analyses that help NHGRI understand program reach, participant characteristics, progress, and outcomes over time. Because this is tied specifically to training and career development, the work would typically focus on tracking things like trainee demographics and backgrounds, training activities, mentoring structures, transitions to the next career stage, productivity indicators (publications, presentations, grants), retention in genomics-related fields, and longer-term career trajectories. A central coordinating center also usually helps ensure consistency across multiple programs so that NHGRI can compare results and identify what is working across different settings.
The cooperative agreement structure is an important part of the opportunity's meaning. Under a U24, NHGRI would typically have substantial scientific and programmatic involvement, such as helping shape priorities, aligning the DACC's outputs with institute-wide evaluation needs, and ensuring the center coordinates effectively with NHGRI-supported training programs. The awardee would be expected to operate with strong project management practices, clear timelines and deliverables, and the ability to respond to evolving NHGRI needs as training initiatives change or expand.
Administratively, the announcement is issued by NIH, with reference to the full funding announcement hosted on the NIH grants guide site. For access issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster. Although the text provided does not include a scientific/program contact for applicant questions, the link to the full RFA would normally contain more detail on scope, required components, data elements, reporting expectations, cooperative agreement terms, and review criteria.
In short, this funding opportunity sought one U.S.-based organization to build and run a centralized data analysis and coordination operation that would help NHGRI manage and evaluate its genomics research training and career development portfolio, using a collaborative NIH cooperative agreement model and with funding totaling about $520,000 for the project period described in the full announcement.
