NIDDK Centers of Excellence in Molecular Hematology (P30) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIDDK Centers of Excellence in Molecular Hematology (CEMH) (P30) funding opportunity (RFA-DK-09-013) is a National Institutes of Health grant program run through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) that aims to support institution-based research centers focused on molecular hematology and hematologic diseases. The core idea is to strengthen and expand collaborative, shared-resource environments where multiple accomplished investigators can work more effectively together. NIDDK frames these centers as part of a larger, integrated hematologic diseases research effort, with an emphasis on building on an existing, comprehensive research base at the applicant institution. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to help strong research communities coordinate their efforts, share specialized infrastructure and expertise, and reduce duplication of expensive resources, thereby improving overall cost effectiveness and research productivity.

This announcement specifically invites open competition to renew and strengthen the existing CEMH program. It highlights that currently funded centers have historically served as hubs that increase collaboration among successful investigators and make supported research more efficient by centralizing resources and services. The goal is not simply to fund individual projects, but to provide a center structure that can support and elevate a broad portfolio of related hematology research at an institution. Because this is a P30 mechanism, the award is typically used to support shared cores, facilities, services, and administrative coordination that benefit multiple investigators, rather than acting as a standalone research project grant.

The mechanism of support is the NIH P30 Center Core Grant. Under this structure, applicants generally propose an organizational framework for the center, along with core components that provide shared capabilities to affiliated researchers. While the provided excerpt does not list specific required cores or scientific topic constraints beyond molecular hematology and hematologic diseases related research, the intent of a P30 is clear: create a centralized center that improves the quality, integration, and efficiency of ongoing, externally funded or institutionally supported research programs by pooling key resources and expertise.

Funding expectations in fiscal year 2010 were an estimated total of $4,600,000 across the program, with NIDDK anticipating around 4 awards. The listed award ceiling is $750,000, indicating the maximum budget level per award under this announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means organizations are not required to commit a formal match as a condition of eligibility, though applicants may still choose to show institutional commitment in other ways as part of a competitive application strategy.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with additional categories called out in the eligibility details. The announcement also explicitly mentions eligibility for several mission-focused institution types and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), federally recognized and other tribal governments/organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. This wide eligibility suggests the program is open to many institutional settings, but the narrative emphasis on an established and comprehensive hematologic diseases research base signals that competitiveness likely depends on demonstrating significant existing strength, investigator capacity, and research activity that can be amplified by a center grant.

Key administrative details place the opportunity in early 2010: it was posted January 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 26, 2010, and an archive date of April 26, 2010. The CFDA number listed is 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The activity category is labeled under “Food and Nutrition” and “Health,” reflecting NIH cataloging rather than limiting the science solely to nutrition, since the program’s core focus is molecular hematology and hematologic diseases research aligned with NIDDK’s mission areas.

For applicants or institutions seeking details beyond the summary, the full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website at the link provided in the notice. Technical access issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), which is typical for NIH postings of that period.
