The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Diabetes Research Centers (P30 Clinical Trial Optional), aimed at enhancing research collaboration and innovation in diabetes and related metabolic disorders. This initiative seeks to establish a community of preclinical and clinical researchers, providing access to specialized resources and a Pilot and Feasibility Program to foster significant advancements beyond individual project capabilities. With an estimated total program funding of $18.2 million and an award ceiling of $1 million, the NIH anticipates making approximately seven awards, encouraging applications from a diverse range of eligible entities, including non-domestic institutions and community-based organizations. Interested parties should prepare for the application process, as the estimated synopsis post date is July 30, 2025, with applications expected to be solicited by March 11, 2026, and awards anticipated by December 30, 2026.
