Single Source: Scalable and Systematic Neurobiology of Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorder Risk Genes: Data Resource and Administrative Coordination Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Forecasted
NIMH will fund UC Santa Cruz to renew a center that standardizes and shares data on genes linked to psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, supporting AI-driven research and broad biomedical use.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (estimated application due date)
Funding Amounts: Total program funding estimated at $2,500,000; one award anticipated; duration and budget specifics to be confirmed in the official NOFO.
Summary: Supports the renewal of a data resource and coordination center to harmonize and advance neurobiology research on psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorder risk genes.
Key Information: Single-source opportunity: Only University of California Santa Cruz is eligible to apply.
Description
This forecasted funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is intended to support the renewal of the Data Resource and Administrative Coordination Center (DRACC) within the Scalable and Systematic Neurobiology of Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorder Risk Genes (SSPsyGene) Consortium. The DRACC will focus on building a sustainable, interoperable knowledge base and data standards to facilitate research on the genetic risk factors for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. The resource aims to harmonize data across the Consortium, enable artificial intelligence applications in brain research, and ensure broad accessibility for the biomedical community. This is a single-source cooperative agreement, with eligibility limited to the University of California Santa Cruz.
