Opportunity Summary:
The Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-09-005) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement led by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). It supports the creation or continued operation of specialized research core centers focused on digestive and liver diseases. The central aim is not to fund a single research project, but to strengthen an institution's overall research environment by organizing shared resources, expertise, and services that multiple investigators can use. By design, the program is meant to bring basic science and clinical researchers into a coordinated, cooperative structure so their collective work on digestive and/or liver diseases and related complications becomes more efficient, more integrated, and more impactful than it would be if each lab or clinical team operated in isolation.
This funding uses the NIH Center Core Grant (P30) mechanism, which is specifically intended for centralized infrastructure and shared core services that support a broader community of funded investigators. In practical terms, a P30 center typically underwrites things like shared technology cores, clinical research support, biostatistics and data management, tissue and specimen resources, imaging or genomics cores, pilot and feasibility programs, enrichment activities, and administrative coordination that makes collaboration easier across departments and disciplines. The theme running through this announcement is research enablement: DDRCCs are expected to raise the effectiveness and productivity of ongoing digestive and liver disease research by giving investigators access to high-quality shared capabilities, helping them standardize methods, and fostering interdisciplinary connections between laboratory and clinical work.
The announcement indicates NIDDK planned to commit about $6,000,000 in fiscal year 2010 to make five awards in response to this call, covering both new applications and competing renewals. It also notes that five existing DDRCCs were expected to apply for renewal, which signals that this is a continuing center program with an established national footprint rather than a one-time initiative. The listed award ceiling is $750,000, which helps frame the expected scale of an individual center budget within the broader total funding estimate.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations capable of operating research centers, such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, aside from institutions of higher education). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of the award, though centers commonly demonstrate strong institutional commitment in other ways (for example, providing space, leadership support, or complementary resources).
Key administrative details in the source data place the opportunity in the NIH extramural research portfolio under CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The opportunity was posted March 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 9, 2009, and an archive date of December 10, 2009. Additional information was provided through the NIH grants guide link associated with the RFA, and the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact was included for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement online.
