Opportunity Summary:
The Genomic Medicine Pilot Demonstration Projects Coordinating Center (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HG-12-007) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement designed to fund a single Coordinating Center that will act as the operational hub for a consortium of genomic medicine pilot Demonstration Projects. The central aim is to accelerate practical, real-world integration of genomic information into routine clinical care by supporting projects that test feasibility and develop repeatable methods for using an individual patient's genomic findings in healthcare decision-making. In plain terms, the Coordinating Center is meant to be the shared backbone for multiple pilot efforts, helping them work together consistently so the field can learn what it actually takes to deliver genomic results to clinicians and patients in a safe, usable, and scalable way.
Because this is a U01 cooperative agreement, NIH is expected to have substantial programmatic involvement rather than operating as a hands-off funder. That structure typically signals that the Coordinating Center will collaborate closely with NIH staff and the participating Demonstration Projects on planning, coordination, and common approaches. The Coordinating Center role is framed as a centralized resource that facilitates consortium activities, which generally implies responsibilities like setting up shared processes, enabling communication across sites, and supporting harmonization of data, methods, and reporting. The overarching scientific purpose is not simply to produce genomic data, but to demonstrate feasibility and build methods for incorporating genomic findings into clinical care, meaning the focus is on implementation, workflow, clinical utility considerations, and the practical challenges of using genomic information in healthcare settings.
The announcement was posted and created on April 3, 2012, with an application closing date of July 19, 2012, and an archive date of August 19, 2012. NIH anticipated making one award under this FOA, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing is 93.172 (Human Genome Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities, reflecting NIH's intent to attract a wide range of capable coordinating organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and private institutions of higher education. The FOA also allows nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as small businesses and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). The additional eligibility text expands this further to include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply as applicants; however, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components as defined under NIH policy are allowed, which typically means specific project elements may be conducted abroad when justified, even though the prime applicant must be a U.S. entity.
Administratively, the sponsoring agency is NIH, and the full announcement was made available via an NIH Grants Guide link. For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the FOA directs applicants to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV. Overall, the opportunity is structured to fund one central Coordinating Center to support a coordinated set of pilots aimed at turning genomic findings into actionable clinical information, with an emphasis on collaboration, standardization, and practical implementation in healthcare environments.
