Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to support a single Coordinating and Bioinformatics Unit (CBU) that will serve two major research consortia: the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC) and the Diabetic Complications Consortium (DCC). The central idea is to fund one organization that can provide shared infrastructure and coordination so these networks can operate smoothly, exchange data consistently, and keep their collaborative activities organized and accessible. Rather than funding new laboratory science directly, this opportunity focuses on the backbone functions that make large multi-site scientific programs work: data systems, web platforms, meeting coordination, and administrative and financial operations that help the consortia function as an integrated whole.
The CBU is expected to take on several core responsibilities. On the bioinformatics and informatics side, it must develop, host, and maintain websites and databases that support the MMPC and DCC communities. That typically implies building reliable, secure, and user-friendly online resources where consortium members (and in some cases the broader research community) can find information, submit and retrieve data, and use shared tools or documentation. On the coordination side, the CBU is responsible for administrative support such as scheduling and organizing consortial meetings, supporting communication across participating sites, and handling other logistics that keep a distributed consortium aligned. A major operational role included in this FOA is financial management for “opportunity pool” programs, meaning the CBU will distribute funds and manage related accounting and reporting for pooled or supplemental activities that support consortium priorities.
This FOA uses the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism (FundingInstrumentType: Cooperative Agreement). A cooperative agreement signals that NIH will have substantial involvement compared with a standard grant, usually through active programmatic coordination, participation in steering or oversight activities, and ongoing interaction to ensure the resource meets consortium needs. The CBU award runs in parallel with a related FOA (RFA-DK-10-006) that solicits applications for the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers themselves, which underscores that the CBU is intended to be the shared coordination and informatics hub while the MMPC awards support the centers performing phenotyping services and related research functions.
Funding is sized and structured for a sustained, multi-year infrastructure effort. NIDDK anticipated making one award in response to this announcement. The budget level listed is up to $1,340,000 in direct costs per year for five years, reflecting the staffing, technology, hosting, security, user support, travel/meeting planning, and financial administration that are usually required to operate a national-level coordinating and data unit. The source data also lists an “EstimatedTotalFunding” of $1,340,000 and an “AwardCeiling” of $250,000, but the narrative portion of the announcement clearly states the intended level as up to $1.34M direct costs per year over a 5-year project period; applicants would typically follow the FOA narrative and NIH budget instructions when developing an application.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses and other for-profit organizations, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), as well as tribal governments and tribal organizations. The additional eligibility notes also include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and foreign organizations or other non-U.S. entities. The FOA indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key administrative details from the listing include Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-10-007, with the title “Coordinating and Bioinformatics Unit for the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers and the Diabetic Complications Consortium (U24).” It was posted August 9, 2010, and the original/current closing date was November 18, 2010, with an archive date of December 19, 2010. The CFDA program number associated in the listing is 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research).
