Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, RFA-HD-14-020, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement (U01) issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to support a single Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN). CPCCRN is an ongoing, multicenter clinical research program focused on advancing research in pediatric critical care, and the DCC is expected to serve as the central hub that enables, standardizes, and coordinates the network's studies and data activities. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the awardee would not operate entirely independently; instead, the DCC would work closely with NICHD and participating clinical sites, with substantial NIH involvement in the conduct and oversight of the program.
The purpose of the DCC award is to provide the core infrastructure needed to design, coordinate, and manage network-wide pediatric critical care research across multiple institutions. In practical terms, a DCC in a program like CPCCRN typically supports protocol development and study operations, creates and maintains systems for high-quality data collection, ensures consistent implementation of research methods across sites, and oversees the flow of information required for multicenter clinical research. This role generally includes activities such as developing case report forms and data dictionaries, building or maintaining secure study databases, coordinating data submission and validation, producing routine performance and quality reports, and supporting study monitoring and analysis so that network studies can be conducted efficiently and to a high standard.
The opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and the health-related activity area (listed as Health Income Security and Social Services). NICHD expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $2,500,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), which is NICHD's broader federal assistance listing for extramural research support.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, but small businesses are also listed as eligible), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (including other than federally recognized entities, as listed). The notice also explicitly mentions additional eligible categories 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 faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly limits participation to domestic entities: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
Key dates show the announcement was posted March 19, 2014 (created March 20, 2014), with an original and current application closing date of June 2, 2014, and an archive date of July 3, 2014.
