Transition to the UH3 phase is not automatic and requires an administrative review at the end of year two. The final year of the award requires a collaborative demonstration project within the SenNet consortium. The NIH intends to commit 5.4 million dollars in total costs for fiscal year 2027 to fund up to nine awards, with direct cost caps of 400,000 dollars per year for the UG3 phase and 550,000 dollars per year for the UH3 phase. Applications are evaluated based on the importance of the research, scientific rigor, feasibility, and the expertise of the investigators. Required submissions include an Intellectual Property Strategy and a Data Management and Sharing Plan. Awardees must adhere to strict cybersecurity incident reporting, maintain a seven-year confidentiality agreement for non-public information, and ensure all technical assets and data are deposited into the SenNet Data Portal.
