The Department of Health and Human Services is reissuing RFA-DK-26-310 for Diabetes Research Centers (DRCs), inviting applications to support and enhance national research efforts in diabetes, its complications, and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. The program aims to foster collaboration among basic and clinical investigators by providing shared technical resources (research cores) and a Pilot and Feasibility Program. DRCs must include an Administrative Core, at least two Biomedical Research Cores, and a Pilot and Feasibility Grant Program. The funding opportunity encourages new approaches, unique scientific themes, and innovative resources, emphasizing synergies with other NIDDK-funded programs and mentoring for future researchers. The annual direct cost budget is limited to $1,000,000, or $1,250,000 for those proposing a Regional/National Shared Research Core or expanded P&F Program. Eligible applicants include various higher education institutions, nonprofits, and government entities, with a maximum project period of five years. Only one application per institution is allowed.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for Diabetes Research Centers (DRCs) that are designed to support and enhance the national research effort in diabetes, its complications, and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators to enhance communication, multidisciplinary collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research in Diabetes Research Center topic areas. By providing shared access to specialized technical resources (research cores) and supporting a Pilot and Feasibility Program (P&amp;F), DRCs are intended to create an environment that provides the capability for accomplishments greater than those that would be possible by individual research project grant support alone. New Center programs that bring in diverse perspectives, propose unique scientific themes, or provide innovative resources are encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on Center programs that propose enhanced synergies with other NIDDK-funded programs as well as providing a rich mentoring environment for future diabetes researchers.
