The NIDDK Disorders of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC) Scientific Data Research Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH invites applications for a scientific data research center in a consortium studying gastrointestinal interoception mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets; clinical trials are not allowed.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: March 5, 2027 (New applications / closing date)
Funding Amounts: $950,000 direct-cost budget limit; up to 5 years; $1.5 million committed for one award
Summary: Supports the Scientific Data Research Center coordinating data, biospecimens, research operations, and resource sharing for the gastrointestinal interoception consortium.
Key Information: Clinical trials are not allowed; human-subjects activities that are not clinical trials may be proposed.
Description
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) seeks a Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) for the Diseases of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC). The consortium will include up to six Clinical Research Centers and one SDRC, broadening earlier gastroparesis research to motility disorders in adults and children. Its goals are to explain links between altered gastrointestinal interoception, dysmotility, and symptoms; identify disease and response biomarkers; and use advanced technologies to identify therapeutic targets for future trials.
The SDRC will coordinate data collection, integration, quality control, biospecimen processing, regulatory oversight, and consortium operations. It will also support study design and statistical analysis, manage shared websites and data resources, and promote dissemination and use of consortium-generated data and materials across the NIDDK research community.
