The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is forecasting the renewal of a funding opportunity announcement for the Multiple Chronic Disease Research Centers Coordinating Center (MCD-RCC), which will be funded through a cooperative agreement. This initiative aims to support comprehensive research centers focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of co-existing chronic diseases, with an emphasis on reducing health disparities as mandated by Public Law 116-260. The MCD-RCC will facilitate collaboration, data management, and community engagement, serving as a national resource to enhance research efforts in this critical area. The estimated total program funding is $20 million, with one award expected, and interested applicants are encouraged to prepare for the application process, which is anticipated to open in late 2025. For further inquiries, potential applicants can contact Dr. Anuradha Patel at Anuradha.patel@nih.gov or by phone at 301-594-1197.
