The NIDDK Disorders of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC) Scientific Data Research Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This cooperative agreement funds a Scientific Data Research Center for the DGIC consortium to analyze mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets related to gastrointestinal interoception and GI dysmotility/symptoms.
⚑ Clinical Trial Not Allowed · cooperative agreement; consortium participation expected · foreign entities explicitly eligible · award ceiling $950,000
This is a biomedical/data-infrastructure NIH consortium focused on gastrointestinal interoception, dysmotility, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets, which is far outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral risk, policy, education, and hazard-communication lines. There is no plausible PI fit for the roster here beyond at most very distant public-health adjacency.

Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites new applications to participate in the Diseases of Gastrointestinal Interoception Consortium (DGIC). The overall objectives of this consortium are to: 1) identify the underlying mechanisms that link altered GI interception more directly to GI dysmotility and symptoms; 2) identify disease or response biomarkers that better assess pathophysiology or treatment efficacy; and 3) leverage state-of-the-art technologies to identify novel therapeutic targets that could be assessed in future clinical trials.
