About this opportunity
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Diseases and Kidney Nutrition (NIDDK) seeks applicants through a cooperative agreement to establish and operate the Data Coordinating Center for the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC); this is a forecast with no hard application deadline stated in the source.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and other), special district governments, public housing authorities, for-profit organizations, independent school districts, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, and non-domestic entities.
The DCC will coordinate collaboration among IBDGC Genetic Research Centers (described in a companion notice), external scientific collaborators, and pilot projects; manage participant enrollment and biospecimen collections and processing; and oversee submission of data and samples to central databases and repositories. The IBDGC leverages existing patient cohorts and advances in data science to characterize interactions of genetic, clinical, and environmental factors in IBD development and progression, with the goal of developing predictors of disease outcomes including remission, recurrence, and therapy response, and advancing precision medicine for IBD patients. The consortium has previously identified more than 300 genetic risk loci for different IBD subtypes.
This opportunity falls under CFDA 93.847, Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research. The cooperative agreement funding instrument indicates a longer-term, collaborative relationship between NIDDK and the selected applicant. The source does not specify award ceiling, cost share requirements, or period of performance for this particular cooperative agreement.
Forecast synopsis
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Diseases and Nutrition (NIDDK) seeks to advance its mission by continuing the NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC). The IBDGC has led collaborative efforts resulting in the identification of >300 genetic risk loci for different IBD subtypes across patient populations and characterization of underlying biological mechanisms. Despite advances in biological understanding and the development of a range of biologic therapies, IBD remains a chronic, severe and heterogenous disease with no cure requiring multiple interventions over the life course. Diagnostic biomarkers and accurate predictors of critical outcomes including disease remission, recurrence, and response to specific therapies are lacking. The IBDGC will leverage patient cohorts, biospecimens and advances in data science to characterize the interactions of genetic, clinical and environmental factors in disease development and progression, and to develop new predictors of disease outcomes, with the goal of improving medical management and advancing precision medicine for IBD patients. The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) of the IBDGC will coordinate collaboration among IBDGC Genetic Research Centers (described in the companion notice), external scientific collaborations and pilot projects, participant enrollment, biospecimen collections and processing, and manage the submission of data and samples to central databases and repositories.
