Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity RFA-RM-12-020, titled "Coordinating Center for an Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) (U01)," supports the creation of a single Coordinating Center to run the day-to-day backbone of a planned Undiagnosed Diseases Network. The network is described as a set of new clinical sites that will be added to, and will build directly on, the existing NIH Intramural Research Program's Undiagnosed Diseases Program (IRP UDP). In practical terms, the award is meant to stand up the central hub that organizes and harmonizes the work of multiple clinical sites so that patients with difficult-to-diagnose conditions can be evaluated in a more standardized, networked way rather than as isolated efforts at separate institutions.
This is a discretionary federal grant made as a cooperative agreement (U01), which signals that NIH expects to have substantial scientific and/or programmatic involvement in the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The activity category is health, and the listing is connected to CFDA 93.310 (Trans-NIH Research Support). NIH anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $1.5 million. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants are not required to commit non-federal dollars as a condition of eligibility.
The Coordinating Center concept is essentially infrastructure: it is expected to serve as the operational and administrative core for the UDN as it expands beyond the original NIH intramural program. While the short synopsis does not spell out specific tasks, a coordinating center in a multi-site clinical network typically handles the common functions that allow sites to operate as one system, such as network-wide coordination, common procedures and workflows, centralized communication, tracking and reporting, scheduling and meeting support, and helping maintain consistent standards across participating sites. The emphasis in the announcement language on "new Clinical Sites added to and building upon" the NIH IRP UDP indicates that the Coordinating Center would need to align the new network sites with the established approaches and experience of the NIH intramural undiagnosed diseases effort, helping ensure continuity and interoperability as the program scales.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); small businesses; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and a range of governmental entities such as state, county, city/township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant types including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, AANAPISIs, Hispanic-serving Institutions, HBCUs, tribally controlled colleges and universities, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized), regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly excludes foreign participation on the applicant side: non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them) are not allowed.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on November 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 1, 2013, and an archive date of March 4, 2013. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. For reference and full details, NIH provided an official announcement link through the NIH Grants Guide, and applicants having technical issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster contact.
