Opportunity Summary:
The Global Network for Womens and Childrens Health Research Data Coordinating Center (U24) opportunity (RFA-HD-17-010) is a National Institutes of Health funding announcement from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). It supports a single award to an institution or organization that will serve as the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for an established, multi-center international research network focused on improving outcomes for women and children in low-income countries. The network’s central scientific aim is to run randomized clinical trials that use common, standardized protocols across multiple sites, with the goal of reducing maternal, neonatal, infant, and early childhood mortality, as well as preventing significant morbidity.
This is a cooperative agreement (U24), which means the awardee is not simply receiving funds to operate independently; instead, the DCC is expected to work closely with NICHD in an ongoing partnership. In practice, that typically implies substantial federal scientific and/or programmatic involvement in key decisions, coordination, and oversight. The core role of the DCC in this kind of network is to provide the data infrastructure and coordination backbone that enables complex, multi-country trials to run consistently, securely, and to high scientific standards. The DCC would generally be responsible for harmonizing trial operations across sites through shared data standards, supporting protocol implementation, coordinating data collection and management, maintaining data quality, and ensuring that trial data are organized and analyzable in a way that supports credible conclusions about interventions aimed at reducing mortality and morbidity among mothers and young children.
The funding announcement is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Health, Income Security and Social Services activity category, with CFDA numbers 93.865 listed. Eligible applicants are broad and include multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special district), public and independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education where applicable), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and additional entities as described in the FOA’s eligibility clarification field.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2016, with an application closing date of August 30, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same). NICHD expected to make one award under this announcement, with an award ceiling listed at $1,300,000. The overall emphasis of the announcement is on supporting the centralized coordination capacity needed to run rigorous, randomized, multi-site trials in low-resource settings, where consistent data practices and cross-site standardization are essential to producing reliable evidence and to translating findings into meaningful improvements in maternal and child health.
