Human Islet Research Network Coordinating Center (U01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Human Islet Research Network Coordinating Center (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-13-013) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Its purpose was to fund a single Coordinating Center that would serve as the administrative and organizational hub for the NIDDK-supported Human Islet Research Network (HIRN). In practical terms, the award was intended to provide the infrastructure needed to keep a multi-site, collaborative research network functioning smoothly, consistently, and efficiently, so that participating research groups could operate under shared processes and coordinated planning rather than working in isolation.

The funding mechanism for this announcement was a cooperative agreement (U01), which typically signals a more hands-on partnership between the NIH and the awardee compared with standard research grants. Under a cooperative agreement, the Coordinating Center would be expected not only to carry out its own defined tasks but also to work closely with NIDDK program staff and with network investigators to implement network-wide activities, track progress, and support group decision-making. The announcement fell under the broader activity category of health (with references to food and nutrition/health classifications in the listing) and aligned with NIDDKs mission area, reflected by the CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research).

Funding for the opportunity was structured around one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $1,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement was posted on September 26, 2013, and it carried an original and final application due date of February 27, 2014. It was later archived on March 30, 2014, which indicates it is no longer open for applications and is maintained for recordkeeping and reference.

Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants included state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The FOA also allowed nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the exception categories noted in the listing), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. In addition, various mission- and population-focused institution types were explicitly named as eligible, including 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 (AANAPISISs). Faith-based and community-based organizations were listed as eligible, as were regional organizations and eligible federal agencies. Tribal governments were included both in the federally recognized category and other-than-federally recognized category, and U.S. territories or possessions were also eligible.

At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded non-U.S. participation in several forms. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) could not apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement were not allowed. This means the Coordinating Center functions funded under this FOA were intended to be fully U.S.-based, without foreign subcomponents treated as part of the supported project structure.

For applicants or readers seeking the full archived text, NIH provided an additional information link to the official FOA page: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DK-13-013.html. For access or technical issues, the notice directed users to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, reflecting that the announcement was distributed through NIH grant communication channels and also cross-posted in federal opportunity systems used at the time.
