Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DK 20 014
The Reconfiguration of the GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) and (Re)Building a Kidney (RBK) Data Hub funding opportunity (RFA DK 20 014) is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement (U24; clinical trial not allowed) intended to support a single, consolidated Data Hub that serves both the GUDMAP and RBK research communities. The core idea is to create and operate a robust, searchable, web-based repository where consortium-generated data and related resources can be submitted, curated, standardized, and made broadly useful to researchers studying genitourinary development and kidney reconstruction. Beyond simply hosting files, the hub is expected to function as the central connective tissue for these consortia by making the data easy to find, access, integrate, and reuse, while also supporting coordination and collaboration across participating groups.
A major emphasis of the announcement is implementation of FAIR data principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. In practice, that means the Data Hub is expected to support strong metadata standards, consistent identifiers, clear data access mechanisms, and technical approaches that allow datasets to be combined or compared across studies and platforms. The hub is also expected to bring the right domain-specific expertise to the table, including bioinformatics capabilities, modern website and software development, and high-quality biocuration. The announcement specifically highlights ontology development and the need for subject-matter expertise in relevant organ anatomy and physiology, reflecting the importance of consistent anatomical and developmental terminology for organizing and interpreting complex biological datasets.
The Data Hub is designed to carry both scientific and administrative responsibilities. Scientifically, it must support data intake, quality control, harmonization, and user-friendly discovery tools that help researchers search and analyze the information. Administratively, it is expected to help manage consortium-facing activities such as planning and running workshops and providing coordination support that keeps the community aligned on standards, priorities, and shared resources. This dual role signals that NIH is looking for an awardee that can run a dependable production-grade informatics platform while also acting as an effective organizer and service center for a geographically distributed scientific network.
A distinctive component of this opportunity is oversight of an Opportunity Pool Program. This program is intended to actively promote collaboration by helping spark new partnerships and by funding or enabling targeted efforts that expand or enhance the database and its capabilities. In other words, the hub is not meant to be static; it is expected to continually evolve based on user needs, emerging methods, and new types of data, while also serving as a catalyst for cross-team collaboration within and around GUDMAP and RBK.
The award is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through NIH, with an activity focus that falls under health-related research and infrastructure (CFDA 93.847). The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial NIH program involvement, ongoing coordination, and shared stewardship of goals and deliverables compared with a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated one award, with an annual award ceiling listed at $750,000. The original posting indicates a creation date of November 23, 2020, and an original closing date of February 18, 2021.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations that can credibly run a national-scale data resource and provide sustained technical and administrative support. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses); and other entities as described in the full eligibility text. Overall, the opportunity targets teams with demonstrated strength in biomedical data infrastructure, curation and standards, and community-facing coordination, with the explicit goal of delivering a unified GUDMAP/RBK Data Hub that improves data usability, accelerates discovery, and strengthens collaboration across the kidney and genitourinary development research ecosystem.Apply for RFA DK 20 014
