Opportunity Summary:
The Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN) (U10) funding opportunity (RFA-HD-08-025) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) program issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to support a coordinated, multi-center clinical research network focused on critically ill children. The main goal is to bring together experienced pediatric critical care sites to run rigorous, network-based studies that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment and management strategies used in pediatric intensive care. In parallel, the network is meant to advance understanding of the underlying biology and disease mechanisms (pathophysiology) that drive critical illness and injury in childhood, so that care can be improved with stronger evidence and better-targeted interventions.
This program uses the U10 cooperative agreement mechanism, which is designed for large, complex research efforts where the NIH expects to have substantial scientific and programmatic involvement during the award. In practical terms, that means funded sites are not just receiving support for independent projects; they are joining an organized network and working collaboratively with NICHD and other participating centers to plan, implement, and conduct multi-site clinical studies. The network structure is intended to make it easier to enroll sufficient numbers of patients, standardize protocols across hospitals, share data, and produce findings that can be translated into practice more quickly than single-site efforts.
NICHD planned to commit approximately $2.5 million in total costs (including both direct costs and facilities and administrative costs) in fiscal year 2009 to support CPCCRN clinical sites. The agency anticipated making about 6 to 8 awards, covering a mix of new sites and/or competing continuation awards for ongoing participation. Because the focus is on clinical sites within a network, applicants are generally expected to demonstrate the capacity to recruit and manage pediatric critical care populations, implement protocol-driven studies, adhere to common data and safety requirements, and collaborate effectively across institutions as part of a standing research infrastructure.
The opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant program and listed under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding announcement was posted on August 22, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 31, 2009, and an archive date of May 1, 2009.
Eligibility was broad and included many organization types that could potentially house a capable pediatric critical care research site. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governmental entities (such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments), special district governments, and a range of nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, other than institutions of higher education). The announcement also explicitly included eligibility for organizations 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 faith-based or community-based organizations, as well as eligible federal agencies. This broad eligibility reflects the reality that pediatric critical care research programs can be embedded in different institutional and governance settings, as long as the applicant can credibly fulfill the responsibilities of a high-performing network clinical site.
For applicants and institutions that needed to review full details, NICHD provided an official NIH Grants Guide link to the complete announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-08-025.html).
