The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting applications for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Training and Outreach Core (TOC) through solicitation RFA-RM-27-010.

The TOC will collaborate with the Kids First Data Resource Center and the NIH Kids First Working Group to develop online learning pathways, execute community engagement plans, and assist in planning a potential Kids First Fellows Program. The program emphasizes software sustainability and interoperability to ensure that all created resources remain available to the research community. The NIH Common Fund intends to commit 1.5 million dollars per year for a maximum award period of three years, with annual application budgets limited to 900,000 dollars in direct costs. Applications are evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to program priorities, and the availability of funds, with specific scored criteria focusing on significance and the qualifications of the investigators. Eligible applicants include small businesses and other for-profit organizations, though non-domestic entities are ineligible. Requirements for submission include active registration in the System for Award Management, a Unique Entity Identifier, and eRA Commons and Grants.gov accounts. The response deadline for this opportunity is January 8, 2027.
