Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (P30-Clinical Trial Optional)

The Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs) program, funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), seeks applications to establish research centers aimed at fostering integrated research in digestive and liver diseases. The purpose of these centers is to enhance collaboration and communication among basic and clinical researchers, promoting productivity and innovative research within the NIDDK’s mission. Each DDRCC is expected to center its activities around a specific thematic focus related to digestive or liver disease research that aligns with the primary mission of the NIDDK, excluding areas primarily funded by other NIH institutes. The program supports a core structure designed to share resources efficiently, encouraging synergy and new scientific ideas among its investigators. Applications must demonstrate how their proposed core center will facilitate research effectiveness through shared services and collaboration. This funding opportunity was announced on June 16, 2026, with a response deadline of February 10, 2027. The solicitation falls under a federal agency initiative led by the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically managed by the NIH, providing an avenue for advancing digestive disease research with clinical trial options available. Interested applicants can contact the NIH directly for more information and submit proposals through the designated grants portal.
