Grant Opportunity Analysis

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is inviting applications for a cooperative agreement to establish a Data Analytics and Coordinating Center (DACC) as part of the Viral Infections in the Young Lung (VINYL) Clinical Consortium. The primary objective of this initiative is to conduct deep phenotyping and longitudinal follow-up of 1,500 infants and toddlers (ages 0-2) hospitalized with viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), specifically focusing on conditions such as acute bronchiolitis and pneumonia, to better understand their impact on lung health. This project is critical for addressing significant knowledge gaps in the management and outcomes of viral infections in young children, with an anticipated funding amount of $800,000 for fiscal year 2026. Applications are due by November 10, 2025, and interested parties can reach out to NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov for further inquiries.

AI Summary
The Department of Health and Human Services is seeking applications for a Data and Analytics Coordinating Center (DACC) to support the Viral Infections in the Young Lung (VINYL) Clinical Consortium. This U24 cooperative agreement aims to establish a DACC that will facilitate clinical activities, data harmonization, and the creation of a public data platform for a multi-site study on viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in hospitalized children aged 0-2 years. The VINYL Consortium will enroll 1500 participants for deep phenotyping and longitudinal follow-up until ages 4-5. The DACC will manage data, including imaging and biospecimens, and ensure rapid sharing with the broader research community. Key responsibilities include protocol development, data management, statistical analysis, website maintenance, and fostering skill development for future researchers. The project period is up to seven years, with an anticipated funding of $800,000 in FY26 for one award. Applications are due by November 10, 2025.
