Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet): SenNet Data Coordination and Integration Center (SenNet DCIC) (UM1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
This cooperative agreement funds a SenNet Data Coordination and Integration Center to manage consortium data submission, harmonization, integration, dissemination, and related outreach functions for NIH Common Fund cellular senescence research.
⚑ UM1 cooperative agreement; clinical trials not allowed · Centered on consortium-wide data infrastructure, standards, and integration rather than hypothesis-driven research · Includes SenNet consortium organizational and outreach activities (OOC) as a required component
This is a biomedical data-infrastructure center for cellular senescence, focused on harmonizing and disseminating clinical/omics resources. IPPRA’s team does survey, risk, policy, and warning/education research in energy, climate, security, and social services—not NIH biomedical consortium informatics—so this is far outside their program.

Description
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the SenNet Data Coordination and Integration Center (SenNet DCIC) as a core component of Stage 2 of the NIH Common Fund Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet). The DCIC will enable timely, high-quality submission, harmonization, integration, and broad dissemination of SenNet-generated data and associated resources by developing and implementing consortium-wide policies, standards, and workflows for data formats, metadata, quality control, and release. The DCIC will maintain and enhance SenNet’s data infrastructure (e.g., portal and associated tools) to support data discovery, access, analysis, visualization, and reuse, and will integrate Stage 1 and Stage 2 outputs to support atlasing and cross-study comparability. DCIC applications should also propose goals and aims for SenNet consortium-wide organizational and outreach activities (SenNet OOC functions).
