Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (P30-Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for the Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases within the NIDDK's mission. The DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of the NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding. Some key points about this opportunity include: • The application due date is February 10, 2027 • The estimated funding for this opportunity is $4,800,000 • The award ceiling is $750,000 • The project duration is 5 years • The opportunity is open to various types of organizations, including public and private institutions of higher education, non-profits, and for-profit organizations • The applicant must have a strong ongoing base of digestive and/or liver diseases-relevant research that relates to the proposed theme of the Center • The applicant must have at least $3 million per year in direct costs of supported research within a proposed theme area that is of primary interest to the NIDDK
