Details:
Award(s) made through this FOA will support CFDE by integrating relevant Common Fund (CF) programs within CFDE, coordinating across other CFDE centers, helping CF programs develop data sustainability plans, and ensuring continuous improvement through an annual evaluation program. The awardee(s) will work collaboratively with each other and other participating components of the CFDE to integrate and coordinate activities across the ecosystem. The end products of CFDE will be a thriving ecosystem that enables the research community to reuse CF data and resources for discoveries and new purposes.
This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have an exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress.
Research Objectives and Requirements of the FOA
Applicants responding to the ICC FOA are expected to familiarize themselves with the structure and other components of CFDE as described above. NIH’s key expectations for the CFDE ICC are:
- The ICC will work under the management and oversight of the Office of Strategic Coordination in partnership with NIDCR, with technical and strategic guidance from the NIH CFDE Technical Working Group composed of NIH staff from OSC and participating CF programs.
- The ICC must effectively and productively collaborate with investigators representing CF programs, CFDE centers, and CFDE initiatives. This level of collaboration is essential for the success of both the ICC and CFDE during the performance of their activities.
- The ICC is expected to provide administrative, coordination, and project management support for the three primary cores outlined below.
