Cooperative Centers for Experimental Hematology (CCEHs) (U54- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH Cooperative Centers that provide shared cores, administrative coordination, and enrichment for nonmalignant hematology research, with no clinical trials and no foreign subawards.
⚑ U54 cooperative agreement; center must include 1-3 Biomedical Research Cores, an Administrative Core, and an Enrichment Program · Clinical Trial Not Allowed · Foreign Organizations not eligible; foreign subawards/subcontracts are not allowed · Collaborative program with NIDDK, Hematology Coordinating Center, and other CCEH Centers expected
This is a biomedical hematology infrastructure center, centered on nonmalignant hematology cores and coordinating clinical/biological research resources. It is not in IPPRA’s social-behavioral, policy, risk, or public-opinion lines, so there is essentially no plausible PI-level fit for this team.

Description
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications for Centers within the NIDDK Cooperative Centers of Experimental in Hematology (CCEH) Program. Each Center will support one to three Biomedical Research Cores and an Administrative Core, including an Enrichment Program. Each Center is expected to work collaboratively with NIDDK, the Hematology Coordinating Center (HCC), and the other CCEH Centers. The CCEH Program is designed to increase access to critical research resources and expertise unique to nonmalignant hematology research. By providing innovative technology, resources, and expertise to the greater hematology research community, the program will serve as a national hub, aimed at recruiting and retaining both junior scientists just beginning their careers in the field as well as established investigators from other domains.
Eligibility
Refer to Section III. Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibility.Foreign Organizations/International CollaborationsNon-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organization) are not eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. NIH will no longer issue awards (i.e., new, renewal, or non-competing continuation) to domestic or foreign entities that involve foreign subawards/subcontracts. All NIH-funded research involving foreign subawards/subcontracts must be submitted in response to a NOFO that is specifically designated for funded international collaborations. See NIH Grants Policy Statement 16.8 Collaborative International Research Awards.Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant and will not be considered for funding. This policy applies to all monetary international collaborations resulting in foreign subawards/subcontracts, however, it does not preclude unfunded international collaborations or foreign components, funding for foreign consultants, or procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors.
