Funding-Limited Submission – NICHD Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers 2013
(U54) RFA-HD-13-002; February 18, 2013
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development (NICHD) invites applications for research center
cooperative agreements designed to advance the diagnosis, prevention,
treatment, and amelioration of intellectual and developmental disabilities
(IDD). This FOA seeks applications from institutions that meet the
qualifications for a multi-disciplinary program of IDD research that will
include: 1) Cores that facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research
in IDD, and support IDD-related projects funded by other sources; and 2) at
least one specific research project related to one of five focus themes
identified as an area of research need in IDD. Funds for the majority of
research projects using these core facilities come from independent sources
including Federal, State, and private organizations.
Applications responding to this
FOA must propose a multi-disciplinary program of IDD research that includes
three to six Core Components
and at least one Research Component. An Administrative Core
and a Clinical Translational Core are required. A minimum of five
federally-funded research projects must utilize each Core, and at least one of
the projects must be funded by NICHD.
