Opportunity Summary:
The Pelvic Floor Disorders Network Data Coordinating Center (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-10-024) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). It seeks a single institution or organization to serve as the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for an ongoing, multi-center clinical research program focused on pelvic floor disorders in women. The intent is to support the coordinating backbone of a research network that studies both clinical care and broader health impacts, with an emphasis on improving outcomes and reducing the overall burden these conditions place on women and their families.
The scope of the network covers a range of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and other sensory or emptying problems involving the lower urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract. The research program is not limited to one type of intervention. Instead, it spans surgical and nonsurgical treatments, pharmacologic therapies, social and behavioral factors that contribute to disease onset or progression, and prevention approaches. A central theme in the announcement is the expectation that the network, supported by the DCC, will help develop innovative solutions to persistent and complex clinical problems faced by women with pelvic floor disorders, while also generating strong evidence about outcomes across the full set of available treatments.
This award uses the NIH Cooperative Research Project mechanism (U01), meaning it is a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional investigator-initiated grant. In practical terms, that signals substantial NIH scientific and programmatic involvement in how the work is carried out. The announcement notes that it runs in parallel with a companion funding opportunity of the same scientific scope, RFA-HD-10-002, which supports the clinical sites under the NIH Cooperative Clinical Research (U10) mechanism. Together, these mechanisms indicate a coordinated network model: clinical centers conduct participant-facing research activities, while the DCC provides centralized coordination, data and statistical infrastructure, and network-wide operational support.
NICHD anticipated making one award under this specific FOA. For fiscal year 2011, NICHD planned to commit approximately $4.09 million in total costs to fund one new or competing continuation grant for the Data Coordinating Center. The opportunity was posted April 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 30, 2010. The CFDA listing is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organizational types across the public, private, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations). The announcement also explicitly includes various mission-driven and capacity-building institution categories and community-based entities, such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies.
In short, this FOA is aimed at selecting one well-qualified organization to function as the central data and operations hub for NICHD’s Pelvic Floor Disorders Network, ensuring high-quality multi-site clinical research execution, rigorous data coordination, and shared infrastructure to study treatments, outcomes, contributing factors, and prevention strategies for common and burdensome pelvic floor disorders affecting women.
