Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, RFA-DK-13-504, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement (U01) issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to support a competing continuation of a national endoscopic database. In practical terms, NIDDK is looking to fund a single award that keeps an existing, nationwide endoscopy data resource operating and advancing, rather than starting a brand-new database from scratch. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, the awardee would be expected to work closely with NIH staff, with substantial federal involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, and oversight compared with a standard research project grant.
The scientific and programmatic focus sits in NIDDK’s mission space, reflected in the activity category listed as “Food and Nutrition†and “Health,†and the CFDA program number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). While the brief synopsis does not list detailed aims, the purpose is clear: maintain and continue a national endoscopic database that can support research, quality improvement, and broader public health understanding related to endoscopic procedures and outcomes in digestive disease contexts. A national database of this kind typically enables large-scale, real-world evidence studies, benchmarking of clinical practice patterns, tracking of procedure quality indicators, and the ability to evaluate outcomes across diverse settings.
The opportunity was structured as a limited competition and anticipated making one award, which signals that eligibility to apply may have been restricted by the full announcement’s specifics (often meaning only certain entities, such as the current database holder or a defined subset of organizations, can submit). Based on the eligibility section provided, a wide range of domestic organizations could be eligible in general, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses as well as small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district), as well as public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly includes eligibility for various mission-driven and minority-serving institutions and community-based entities, such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, AANAPISISs, faith-based or community-based organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions, among others. At the same time, it clearly excludes non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations, and it does not allow foreign components as defined by NIH policy.
From a funding standpoint, NIDDK estimated total funding at $1,000,000 and stated there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were July 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 20, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on December 21, 2013. The combination of a single expected award and a limited competition format suggests the agency’s intent was continuity and stability for a resource viewed as nationally important, rather than funding multiple parallel efforts.
