Ancillary Studies to the NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (R21 - Clinical Trial Optional

Limited Submissions

The NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC), in collaboration with the International IBD Genetics Consortium, has identified about 200 susceptibility loci for IBD.  The IBDGC has recently been awarded renewed funding to identify causal genes and genetic variants within these loci, and to elucidate the mechanisms through which they contribute to the pathophysiology of IBD.  However, the IBDGC's current resources permit them to explore the functions of only a limited set of genes within a limited set of physiological domains.  The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to expand the number of genes and range of IBD-related phenotypes and physiological domains under study by means of collaborations of the IBDGC with investigators with expertise complementary to that of their own members.  This FOA is intended to support highly exploratory studies which may require development and testing of novel experimental platforms or analytic methods.  Proposed studies must not duplicate studies either ongoing or already completed by the IBDGC.  Multi-site clinical trials will not be considered responsive to this FOA.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. a one-page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
