NIH seeks an organization to coordinate data and research operations for its gastrointestinal interoception consortium. - Government buyer: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs, vendors, or products are identified. - Requested service: Operate one Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) for the Diseases of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC), under cooperative agreement mechanism U24. - Coordinate collection, integration, harmonization, management, and quality control of consortium data. - Coordinate biospecimen logistics and molecular analyses, and support regulatory compliance and single-IRB coordination. - Support consortium governance, committee operations, collaboration, statistical and study activities, and research dissemination. - Maintain the study website, enrollment and biospecimen tracking tools, repositories, and data commons. - Notable requirements and funding: One award is anticipated, with $1.5 million in program funding; application budgets are capped at $950,000 in direct costs. Clinical trials are not allowed. The maximum project period is five years.

Description

This funding opportunity invites applications to participate in the Diseases of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC). Its objectives include identifying mechanisms linking altered gastrointestinal interoception to dysmotility and symptoms, finding disease or response biomarkers, and using advanced technologies to identify potential therapeutic targets. The selected Scientific Data Research Center will support consortium research, including coordination of biospecimens and data, committee operations, and collaboration across DGIC components. NIDDK expects to fund one cooperative agreement, with a maximum application budget of $950,000 in direct costs.
