    The Department of Health and Human Services is soliciting proposals for the establishment of the Whole Person Research and Coordination Center (Whole Person RCC) under the NIH Whole Person Initiative. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of human health by constructing a comprehensive conceptual map of the human physiome and integrating various biomedical knowledge bases. The project has two primary objectives: to create a detailed physiome conceptual map using content experts' existing knowledge and to develop an in silico prototype model that links physiological systems. The RCC will foster multidisciplinary collaboration and serve key functions, including governance, expert mapping of data elements, and coordination of ongoing research within the NIH Whole Person Initiative. The program encourages applications with a robust scientific leadership core and collaboration across a wide range of disciplines, emphasizing the need for innovative methodologies and technologies. The total funding available for one award is up to $2.5 million for a maximum of five years, with a focus on addressing significant gaps in integrated whole person health research. The application process requires a thorough plan delineating objectives, governance structures, resource sharing, and measurable milestones to ensure the project's successful implementation.
