The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for the establishment of the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for the NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC). The DCC will play a crucial role in coordinating collaborations among genetic research centers, managing participant enrollment, biospecimen collections, and overseeing data submission to central databases, all aimed at advancing research in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This initiative is vital for improving medical management and precision medicine for IBD patients, as it seeks to develop new predictors of disease outcomes through the integration of genetic, clinical, and environmental data. The estimated total funding for this program is $1,600,000, with one award expected to be made. Interested applicants can reach out to Dr. Ludmila Pawlikowska at Ludmila.pawlikowska@nih.gov or by phone at 301-480-9372 for further information. The application period is open until November 1, 2026, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2027.
