Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DK 17 010
The NIDDK Information Network Coordinating Unit: dkNET-CU (U24) opportunity (RFA DK 17 010) is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services aimed at continuing and expanding dkNET, the NIDDK Information Network. At its core, the award is designed to strengthen an online, user-friendly web portal that helps researchers funded by or working in areas relevant to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) more easily find, access, and connect to a growing range of biomedical data sets, tools, and other research resources. Instead of creating a single new database, dkNET functions as a connective layer and discovery environment that links the NIDDK research community with an expanding universe of relevant resources, with the goal of making research workflows more efficient and improving the ability to reuse and integrate existing data and tools.
This FOA specifically supports the dkNET Coordinating Unit (dkNET-CU), which serves as the central leadership and management hub for dkNET. The Coordinating Unit is expected to provide scientific direction and a forward-looking vision for how dkNET should evolve, while also handling the administrative and operational management needed to keep the effort coherent, responsive, and aligned with NIDDK priorities. In practical terms, that coordinating role typically implies responsibility for setting strategic priorities for the portal, guiding what kinds of resources should be incorporated or made discoverable, maintaining a consistent user experience, and ensuring the project is managed effectively across technical development, stakeholder engagement, and ongoing maintenance. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement (U24), NIH program staff generally have substantial involvement compared with a standard research grant, meaning the awardee should be prepared to collaborate closely with NIDDK on direction-setting, performance expectations, and progress.
The opportunity falls under the broad activity category of Food and Nutrition, Health and is listed under CFDA 93.847. It was created on May 26, 2017, with an original closing date of October 31, 2017. The FOA anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), indicating NIH intended to fund one Coordinating Unit to lead dkNET efforts during the project period. The listed award ceiling is $635,000, which signals the upper limit for the budget level NIH expected for this award under the announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic organization types, reflecting NIH's intent to attract strong technical and scientific leadership regardless of sector. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories as specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as described in the FOA's additional eligibility language. This breadth suggests the key selection driver is not institutional type but rather the applicant's ability to deliver a robust, researcher-centered coordinating function that can advance dkNET as a widely useful gateway to NIDDK-relevant biomedical resources and data.
Overall, the grant is best understood as support for a coordination and infrastructure leadership function: keeping dkNET technically sound, strategically guided, and actively expanded so that NIDDK-supported investigators and the broader biomedical community can more easily discover and connect to the data and resources they need. The emphasis on seamless connection, usability, and expansion highlights a focus on practical utility for researchers, while the emphasis on scientific direction and administrative management highlights the expectation of sustained, organized stewardship rather than a one-time development effort.Apply for RFA DK 17 010
