Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Continuation of the NIDDK Hematology Central Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the continuation of the NIDDK Hematology Central Coordinating Center (HCC) under a cooperative agreement. The HCC will collaborate with up to five Cooperative Centers of Excellence in Hematology (CCEH) to provide administrative support, develop communication strategies, and implement educational programs aimed at enhancing research in nonmalignant hematology. This initiative is crucial for fostering a national multidisciplinary research effort to study hematopoiesis and address nonmalignant hematologic diseases. The estimated total program funding is $1 million, with a single award anticipated, and the NOFO is expected to be published in December 2024, with applications due by March 2025. For further details, potential applicants should prepare to submit their proposals in alignment with the requirements outlined in the forthcoming NOFO.
