Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "A GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) Database and Website (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-10-005), is an NIH discretionary grant aimed at keeping the GUDMAP database and website running, current, and more useful to the broader research community. The project is sponsored by two NIH institutes, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). GUDMAP, originally known as the Murine Atlas of Genitourinary Development, is an online resource that stores and serves anatomical and gene expression information produced by GUDMAP molecular atlas research efforts, with an emphasis on development of the genitourinary system. The core idea behind this announcement is that the database is not just a static repository; it is meant to be an actively curated, continually improving platform that supports discovery by making complex developmental biology data easier to find, compare, and analyze.
The work supported under this opportunity centers on four main goals. First, the awardee is expected to maintain the database and perform ongoing annotation and integration of incoming data. That includes incorporating new datasets coming directly from GUDMAP-funded atlas projects as well as bringing in relevant non-GUDMAP datasets so the resource stays comprehensive and interoperable with related work in the field. Second, the project is expected to develop and enhance analytical capabilities that allow users to do more than download files, specifically by building tools that work through the website, such as online bioinformatics functions and image analysis features. Third, the announcement highlights the importance of improving user interfaces so that researchers across the community can easily access and use the data as it is generated, which implies attention to usability, search and browse functions, visualization, and smooth data submission or update workflows. Fourth, the database must remain freely available as an online resource, reflecting NIH priorities around broad data sharing and maximizing the impact of publicly funded research.
In terms of funding and structure, this FOA uses the U01 cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning NIH expects substantial involvement and partnership during the course of the project rather than a fully hands-off grant. NIH anticipated supporting a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The announcement states that NIDDK and NICHD anticipated committing up to $600,000 in FY2011 to fund one grant in response to the FOA, with an estimated total funding figure listed as $560,000 in the opportunity record. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government organizations (state, county, city/township, special district), as well as public housing authorities and tribal governments and organizations. The eligibility section also explicitly includes groups such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) and regional organizations, as well as eligible federal agencies.
Key administrative details from the posting include a Posted Date and Creation Date of August 26, 2010, with an Original and Current Closing Date of November 17, 2010, and an Archive Date of December 18, 2010. The CFDA numbers associated with the opportunity are 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). The activity categories listed for the opportunity include Food and Nutrition, Health, and Income Security and Social Services, reflecting how federal listings sometimes map biomedical infrastructure projects into broader program categories.
Overall, this FOA is essentially a call for a team that can function as both scientific data stewards and technical platform builders: maintaining a high-value developmental biology database, improving its data integration and annotation pipelines, adding practical analysis tools (including image and bioinformatics capabilities), and delivering a user-friendly website that reliably serves the entire research community without access barriers.
