Forecast to Renew the Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Multiple Chronic Disease Research Centers

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is set to renew the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Multiple Chronic Disease Research Centers, aimed at enhancing research on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of multiple chronic diseases (MCDs). This initiative will support both existing and new regional comprehensive research centers that focus on innovative strategies and interventions to improve health outcomes, particularly among populations facing health disparities. With an estimated total program funding of $55 million and the expectation of awarding 11 grants, potential applicants are encouraged to begin forming collaborations and developing projects, as applications are not currently being solicited.
