NIH Solicits Clinical Research Consortium for Gastrointestinal Interoception Disorders

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Diseases and Nutrition (NIDDK), is seeking to establish the Disorders of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC): - Up to six Clinical Research Centers will be selected to conduct multidisciplinary research on GI interoception disorders - A Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) will coordinate collaboration, participant enrollment, biospecimen collection/processing, and data management - The DGIC expands on the previous Gastroparesis Consortium to include a broader range of GI conditions with impaired interoceptive processing - Eligible applicants include government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and businesses - Funding instrument is a cooperative agreement with an estimated total program funding of $1,500,000 - No specific OEMs, vendors, or commercial products are named, as this is a research and clinical consortium opportunity - Notable requirements include consortium participation, biospecimen management, and data coordination across multiple research centers

Description

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Diseases and Nutrition (NIDDK) seeks to continue and expand the work of the Gastroparesis Consortium to include other gastrointestinal conditions associated with impaired interoceptive processing. The initiative aims to form a Disorders of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC) comprising up to 6 Clinical Research Centers and a Scientific Data Research Center. The consortium will focus on multidisciplinary approaches to understand underlying mechanisms, identify biomarkers, and develop novel therapeutic targets for future clinical trials. The Scientific Data Research Center will coordinate collaboration, participant enrollment, biospecimen collection, and data management.
