Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement from 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). The overall aim of CPCCRN is to run a coordinated, multicenter clinical research program in pediatric critical care, with a particular emphasis on understanding outcomes that extend beyond the ICU stay, including longer term outcomes for children and their families. In practical terms, the DCC is expected to serve as the central hub that enables multiple hospitals and clinical site centers to operate as one coherent research network by standardizing processes and coordinating the data and protocol infrastructure needed to carry out studies across sites.
The award uses the U01 mechanism, which is a cooperative agreement. That matters because it signals substantial federal scientific or programmatic involvement compared with a traditional research project grant. Under a U01, the DCC is not simply funded to do work independently; it is funded to actively collaborate with NICHD and the CPCCRN sites to implement network studies. This opportunity is designed to run in parallel with a companion solicitation that supports the network's Clinical Site Centers under a U10 mechanism. Together, the U01 DCC and the U10 clinical centers form the operational structure of CPCCRN: the clinical centers enroll patients and conduct study procedures, while the DCC provides centralized coordination so that the studies are consistent, high quality, and analyzable across all participating institutions.
NICHD anticipated making one award for the DCC. The institute planned to commit roughly 3.52 million dollars in FY 2010 to support this single coordinating center, and the announcement specifies that this total includes about 1.5 million dollars earmarked for patient and protocol costs that would be administered by the DCC. That detail suggests the DCC would not only manage data and analytics but would also serve as the financial and administrative conduit for certain network-level study expenses tied to protocol implementation and participant-related costs, reinforcing its role as the operational backbone of the network.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the health-related activity area (CFDA 93.865, Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers for applicants and clarifies that the federal award is intended to cover the allowable project costs without requiring a specific institutional financial commitment beyond standard grant support obligations.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The announcement also notes additional eligible applicants such as federal agencies and institutions that serve specific populations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and other tribally controlled institutions. This breadth indicates NICHD was open to a variety of institutional homes for the DCC, as long as the applicant could credibly provide the specialized infrastructure and expertise needed to coordinate a national multicenter pediatric critical care research network.
Timing details in the listing indicate the opportunity was posted on December 3, 2008, with an application closing date of March 31, 2009, and an archive date of May 1, 2009. The funding opportunity number and title are provided in the source information, and an additional information link points to the full NIH RFA page where the detailed requirements, scope, responsibilities, and submission instructions would be described. Contact information is routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical access and linking issues, indicating that the primary public-facing contact in the excerpt is focused on announcement access rather than scientific questions.
In short, this FOA sought one experienced organization to function as the CPCCRN Data Coordinating Center under a cooperative agreement, working closely with NICHD and with CPCCRN clinical site centers to support rigorous multicenter pediatric critical care studies and to enable the network's focus on longer term outcomes for critically ill children and their families, backed by a multi-million-dollar federal commitment that included dedicated patient and protocol cost support administered through the DCC.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement funding opportunity from 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).
