Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) for the NIDDK Gastroparesis Consortium (U24) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) for the NIDDK Gastroparesis Consortium (U24)" is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically under NIH (listed as HHS-NIH11). It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism (U24), which generally means the funded awardee is expected to work closely with NIH program staff and follow cooperative, milestone-driven coordination rather than operating as a fully independent research grant.

The focus of the announcement is the Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) that supports the Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium (GpCRC). The central purpose is continuation funding so the SDRC can enable additional follow-up of participants already enrolled in GpCRC studies. In practical terms, this type of continuation typically centers on maintaining and extending the data infrastructure and coordinating activities needed to keep tracking participants over time, preserving research continuity, and ensuring that the resulting longitudinal data remain usable, consistent, and high-quality.

This FOA is explicitly tied to a companion funding announcement, RFA-DK-16-010, which supports the continuation of the consortium's Clinical Centers (CC). The structure implies a coordinated model in which the Clinical Centers continue to see participants and collect clinical information, while the SDRC serves as the hub for data management and research support functions across the network. The SDRC role in a consortium commonly includes building and maintaining databases, developing and enforcing data standards, coordinating data collection and submission from multiple sites, supporting data cleaning and quality assurance, performing statistical and analytic support as needed, and facilitating secure data sharing and reporting for consortium leadership and NIH oversight.

Eligibility is broad across several organization types, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)) outside of higher education. The announcement also references an "Others" category with additional eligibility details in the full FOA text, indicating that certain additional applicant types may be allowed under specific conditions. Because the opportunity is labeled a "limited competition," it is likely restricted to a defined pool of eligible applicants closely connected to the existing consortium or otherwise specified in the full announcement, rather than open to any applicant meeting general NIH eligibility rules.

Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of March 2, 2016, with the opportunity created and posted on December 22, 2015. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is categorized under Food and Nutrition and Health, with CFDA numbers 93.847 (and also listing 93.847 again in the source data). The opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with a stated award ceiling of $1,000,000, signaling that NIH intended to fund one SDRC to serve the entire consortium rather than multiple competing centers.

In short, this FOA supports the continuation of the centralized data and research support backbone for the NIDDK Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium so the consortium can extend participant follow-up and preserve the value of existing cohorts and datasets. It is designed to complement the separate continuation funding for the clinical sites, ensuring the network has both the on-the-ground participant follow-up capacity (Clinical Centers) and the coordinated data and analytic infrastructure (SDRC) needed to sustain meaningful, consistent research outputs over time.
