The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "The NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC) Genomic Research Centers," aimed at advancing research in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This initiative seeks to establish up to seven Genomic Research Centers that will leverage patient cohorts, biospecimens, and data science to explore genetic, clinical, and environmental factors influencing IBD, with the goal of developing new predictors for disease outcomes and enhancing precision medicine for patients. The total estimated funding for this program is $6.4 million, with nine awards expected to be granted, and interested applicants can reach out to Dr. Ludmila Pawlikowska at ludmila.pawlikowska@nih.gov or by phone at 301-480-9372 for further information. Key deadlines include an estimated synopsis post date of August 1, 2026, and a close date of November 1, 2026, with project start anticipated on July 1, 2027.
