Opportunity Summary:

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), RFA-DK-26-313, is a one-time, non-competitive funding announcement from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support the continued operation and growth of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) Common Metabolic Diseases (CMD) Knowledge Portal (KP). The mechanism is a U01 cooperative agreement (assistance listing/CFDA 93.847) and it specifically states that clinical trials are not allowed. The intent is straightforward: NIH plans to make a single award, and it is reserved exclusively for the current portal awardee, the Broad Institute, Inc., meaning no other institution is eligible to apply under this announcement.

The portal itself is positioned as the flagship, public-facing resource for the AMP CMD program, which is a multi-sector collaboration among NIH, pharmaceutical companies, and nonprofit organizations focused on improving how researchers identify and validate biological targets that could become biomarkers and/or drug targets for common metabolic diseases and related complications. In practical terms, the Knowledge Portal is not just a website; it is a continuously maintained and curated knowledge base that aggregates many different types of biomedical data and associated metadata so researchers can better understand biological heterogeneity across patients with CMDs. That emphasis on heterogeneity signals that the portal is meant to help users move beyond one-size-fits-all interpretations by enabling stratified analyses across traits, cohorts, and molecular layers.

Over the next five-year project period, the funded work is expected to keep pushing the portal forward rather than simply maintaining the status quo. The NOFO highlights several core expectations: expanding the breadth and depth of datasets and traits represented in the portal, bringing in additional data types, and rolling out additional analytical and visualization tools so users can do more meaningful exploration and interpretation directly through the platform. Another key expectation is to increase the portal's usefulness to a more diverse user base, which implies attention to usability, documentation, accessibility, and potentially outreach and training so that the resource serves not only specialized computational users but also broader biomedical and translational audiences. Finally, the awardee is expected to develop a framework for independent sustainability, suggesting NIH wants a credible plan for how the resource can remain viable long-term (for example, via governance, operations planning, partnerships, or other support models) beyond this funding window.

Although the opportunity is described as non-competitive in the sense that it is single-source and restricted to one eligible applicant, it is not an automatic renewal. The application will still undergo peer review, and the NOFO makes clear that funding depends on the application being judged meritorious; if reviewers do not view it as strong enough, it will not be funded. Operational details from the source notice include an expected number of awards of one, an award ceiling of $2,000,000, and an original application closing date of 2026-03-10, with the announcement created on 2026-02-06.

What is the Knowledge Portal, in practical terms?

The Knowledge Portal is more than a website. It is a continuously maintained and curated knowledge base that aggregates multiple types of biomedical data and associated metadata to support research into common metabolic diseases.

What is a major scientific emphasis of the portal described in the NOFO?

A key emphasis is enabling researchers to better understand biological heterogeneity across patients with common metabolic diseases, including support for stratified analyses across traits, cohorts, and molecular layers.

What are the main expectations for the work over the project period?

The NOFO highlights expectations to keep advancing the portal, including expanding the breadth and depth of datasets and traits, incorporating additional data types, and rolling out additional analytical and visualization tools to enable more meaningful exploration and interpretation through the platform.

Is the goal to simply maintain the portal as-is?

No. The NOFO indicates the funded work is expected to push the portal forward rather than only maintain the status quo.
