This FOA issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, solicits grant applications from institutions/organizations for Core Centers. The Cystic Fibrosis Research and Translation Core Center Program is designed to support both basic and clinical research on Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Core Centers provide shared resources to support research to develop and test new therapies for CF and foster collaborations among institutions with a strong existing research base in CF. The Center will also support pilot and feasibility studies to develop and test new approaches to therapy.
An existing program of biomedical research in cystic fibrosis is required. This research base must consist of NIH and other peer-reviewed funded research projects and be substantial to justify the requested Core support. A clinical research base is not required but would be considered a strength. The research base for the Center must consist of a minimum of $2,000,000 total costs per year of peer reviewed research projects relevant to the development of therapies for CF. Applications that do not document this level of research funding will be returned without review. Suggestions for describing and presenting this research base in the application are included in the Administrative Guidelines for the CF Research and Translation Core Centers.
