Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for NIDDK Disease Research and Translational Core Centers (P30 Clinical Trial Optional). These Core Centers are part of an integrated program of biomedical and translational research supporting our cystic fibrosis, diabetes, nutrition, obesity, liver and digestive diseases research. They enhance multidisciplinary collaboration, rigor, reproducibility, replication and research cost efficiencies at institutions that already have a large established research base in one of the above focused areas within NIDDK’s mission. They should also provide a rich mentoring environment for trainees and early-stage investigators. The P30 Centers accomplish their purpose by providing a Pilot and Feasibility Grant Program, a Scientific Catalyst Program, and importantly shared access to the services of Cores. Within a given P30 Center, the Scientific Catalyst Program, which works within the Administrative Core, supports activities that strengthen the Center’s scientific community and advance its research mission. Activities may include research team building, investigator mentoring, seminars, workshops, visiting scientists, and scientific research series. The program is intended to foster multidisciplinary collaboration, attract new investigators, and engage investigators with expertise relevant to the Center’s chronic disease research focus. The Core Services reflect the research needs of the Center and may include research consultation along with services involving cell or other models, planning, analysis, hands-on services, access to expensive specialized equipment, other technical resources or training shared by the Center members and operated or overseen by recognized experts.
