Opportunity Summary:
The Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs) funding opportunity (RFA-DK-11-022) is a National Institutes of Health program administered by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) that supports center-based infrastructure for digestive and liver diseases research. It uses the NIH P30 center mechanism, which is designed to fund shared research resources and services rather than large portfolios of individual research projects. The main goal is to strengthen and connect existing basic and clinical research efforts by giving investigators access to common cores that make their work more efficient, collaborative, and innovative. In practice, these centers are intended to improve communication across disciplines, create synergy among research groups, and help generate new research ideas by lowering barriers to shared methods, technologies, and expertise.
A key expectation of a DDRCC is that it is organized around a clear central theme tied to digestive and/or liver diseases, reflecting the scientific focus of the participating investigators (often referred to as center members). The center concept is built on cost-effective shared resources, meaning the application should justify why centralized core facilities or services will measurably improve productivity and impact compared to separate, duplicative resources in individual labs. While the announcement summary does not list specific required cores, DDRCCs typically revolve around shared technical, clinical, biostatistical, data management, tissue/biorepository, imaging, genomics, or other specialized capabilities that multiple investigators can use, along with administrative structures that coordinate access, prioritization, and quality control.
This particular FOA was posted on September 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2012, and it was archived on April 30, 2012. NIDDK anticipated making about 2 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $2,500,000. The award ceiling listed is $750,000, indicating the maximum expected budget level per award under this announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad across many U.S.-based organization types, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, and other entities described in the FOA. The eligibility notes also explicitly include certain institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the FOA makes clear that non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. Foreign components, as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed under this announcement.
Programmatically, this opportunity sits within NIDDKs broader, integrated digestive and liver diseases research support ecosystem. The center approach is meant to amplify the value of ongoing funded research by providing shared infrastructure that helps investigators work together more effectively, standardize and improve methods, and accelerate progress in areas relevant to digestive and liver diseases. The full announcement and details were provided through NIH at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DK-11-022.html, with technical access support routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact listed in the notice.

What funding mechanism does the DDRCC use?
This opportunity uses the NIH P30 center mechanism, which is intended to fund shared research resources and services (core facilities and infrastructure) rather than large portfolios of individual research projects.
What is the main purpose of a DDRCC?
The main purpose is to strengthen and connect existing basic and clinical research efforts in digestive and/or liver diseases by providing investigators access to shared cores that improve efficiency, collaboration, and innovation.
Does a DDRCC primarily fund individual research projects?
No. The P30 center mechanism is designed to support shared resources and services. The focus is on infrastructure that multiple investigators can use, not on funding a large set of individual research projects.
What kinds of activities are DDRCCs intended to enable?
DDRCCs are intended to improve communication across disciplines, create synergy among research groups, and help generate new research ideas by lowering barriers to shared methods, technologies, and expertise.
Is a central scientific theme required for a DDRCC?
Yes. A key expectation is that the DDRCC is organized around a clear central theme tied to digestive and/or liver diseases, reflecting the scientific focus of the participating investigators (often called center members).
What is meant by "shared resources" or "core facilities" in this program?
Shared resources (cores) are centralized facilities or services that multiple investigators can use. The application is expected to justify why centralized cores are more cost-effective and impactful than duplicating similar resources across individual laboratories.
