Opportunity Summary:
The Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Research and Translation Core Centers (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-09-007) is an NIH grant program run by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to strengthen and accelerate PKD research by funding dedicated “core centers.” The main idea is to support organized hubs that bring together investigators working on both basic science and clinical research in PKD, and to make that work more efficient by building shared infrastructure, expertise, and services. A central emphasis is on translation: helping discoveries about PKD biology move more smoothly from lab findings into tools, approaches, and evidence that can inform clinical practice.
This funding uses the NIH P30 Core Center mechanism, which is designed to support shared resources rather than stand-alone research projects. In practice, these centers are expected to develop and operate core facilities, services, and other centralized resources that multiple investigators can use. The FOA frames these as “shared institutional and national resources,” meaning the centers should not only serve their local research community but also contribute capabilities that benefit PKD research more broadly. The overall goal is to raise the quality, coordination, and productivity of PKD research by reducing duplication, standardizing methods where helpful, and giving researchers reliable access to specialized tools and support that would be hard to maintain within individual labs or single clinical studies.
From a funding standpoint, NIDDK planned to commit up to $4.25 million in total funding in fiscal year 2010, with an expectation of making up to four new or competing awards. The listed award ceiling is $750,000. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument. It is associated with CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of award under this announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types typically permitted under NIH funding, spanning public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, though small businesses are also listed separately as eligible), and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing/Indian housing authorities). Tribal governments and tribal organizations are included (both federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities are referenced), along with U.S. territories or possessions and regional organizations. The eligibility section also explicitly calls out a number of institution types and community-serving categories, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Notably, the FOA also indicates that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities or foreign organizations are eligible, and that eligible agencies of the federal government may apply as well, reflecting NIH’s broader approach to allowing many institutional forms to participate when appropriate to the science and infrastructure being proposed.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 22, 2009 (created December 23, 2009), with an original and current application closing date of March 10, 2010, and an archive date of April 10, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, with NIDDK as the institute inviting applications. The official announcement and full details were provided through the NIH grants site, and the listing includes NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for technical issues accessing the announcement online.
In short, this FOA sought to fund a small number of well-organized PKD core centers that could serve as shared-resource engines for the PKD field, supporting both discovery and patient-oriented work and specifically strengthening the pipeline from basic PKD biology to clinical translation through centralized, high-value resources and coordinated research support.
