Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Hepatitis B Research Network Data Coordination Center (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-14-510) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement designed to keep the Hepatitis B Research Network (HBRN) Data Coordination Center (DCC) operating and moving forward. The central purpose is to support and strengthen translational hepatitis B research by ensuring that the network has a robust, centralized infrastructure for coordinating multi-site studies. In practical terms, the DCC is meant to help the HBRN generate reliable, comparable, and high-quality data that can be used to better understand hepatitis B virus infection, including how the disease develops over time (natural history), what drives disease mechanisms (pathogenesis), and how treatments and control strategies can be improved.
This FOA is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means NIH will have substantial scientific and programmatic involvement in the work rather than acting only as a funder. The activity category is listed under health (with the posting also tagging "Food and Nutrition Health"), and it is associated with CFDA number 93.847, which corresponds to Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research, aligning it with the mission space of NIH institutes that support liver and digestive disease research. The announcement explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.
Funding for the continuation is estimated at a total of $7,000,000. The opportunity was posted on August 26, 2014, with an application closing date of November 25, 2014, and it was later archived on December 26, 2014. While those dates place the announcement in a past funding cycle, they define the official window during which eligible applicants could submit a continuation proposal under this limited competition.
Eligibility is highly restricted. This is a limited competition intended only for current HBRN awardees, meaning only institutions or groups already holding awards within the Hepatitis B Research Network at the time were permitted to apply. The listing reflects this by stating "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and then clarifies that only existing HBRN awardees qualify. In other words, it was not an open call for new institutions to start a DCC; it was structured as a continuation mechanism to maintain and extend an existing coordinating center function inside an established network.
The overall emphasis of the continued DCC is on enabling coordinated, network-wide translational research in hepatitis B. That typically involves tasks such as harmonizing clinical and research data collection across participating sites, managing study databases, ensuring data quality control and standardization, supporting statistical analysis plans, facilitating sharing of data and biospecimen-related information, and providing operational support for network studies so that findings can be integrated across cohorts and projects. The DCC role, as described at a high level in the announcement, is to keep the network focused on advancing understanding of hepatitis B pathogenesis and natural history while accelerating progress toward better treatment approaches and public health control measures.
