Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HL 21 002
The Bench to Bassinet Program Administrative Coordinating Center (ACC) opportunity (RFA-HL-21-002) is a limited-competition NIH/NHLBI cooperative agreement (U01) that funds a single organization to continue serving as the central administrative and operational hub for two connected NHLBI efforts: the Cardiovascular Developmental Biology Data Resource Center (CDDRC, RFA-HL-20-017) and the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium (PCGC, RFA-HL-20-015). In plain terms, the ACC is meant to function as the backbone that keeps these multi-site programs aligned day to day, ensuring that complex scientific and data-sharing activities can run smoothly across many investigators, institutions, and disciplines, from basic developmental biology through genomics and toward clinical relevance in pediatric heart disease. Clinical trials are not allowed under this FOA, so the work is focused on coordination, data/resource operations, and program management rather than testing interventions in patients.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, NHLBI is expected to have substantial involvement in how the award is carried out, with ongoing interaction between the ACC and NIH program staff. The ACC role typically includes organizing governance and communication structures (for example, steering committee support and cross-consortium working groups), managing timelines and deliverables, coordinating meetings and collaborative activities, and creating consistent processes so that the CDDRC and PCGC can operate as an integrated Bench-to-Bassinet program rather than as two disconnected projects. A major emphasis of an ACC in a data-intensive, multi-center setting is helping standardize procedures across sites, supporting data coordination and sharing, facilitating common documentation, and helping the overall program meet its reporting and operational requirements.
The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA 93.837. It is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the health activity area. The announcement was created on September 12, 2019, with an original closing date of March 6, 2020, and it anticipates one award with an award ceiling of $3,417,000. The single-award design reinforces that NHLBI is looking for one coordinating center to serve as the shared administrative core for both the CDDRC and PCGC activities.
Eligibility is broad and includes many public and private entities that can credibly serve as a national-level coordinating center. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding IHEs where specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as further clarified in the FOA. This wide eligibility range reflects the administrative nature of the ACC function: what matters most is demonstrated capacity to coordinate complex consortia, manage multi-site collaboration, and support rigorous data/resource operations at scale.
Overall, the grant is best understood as support for the infrastructure and coordination needed to connect discoveries "from bench to bassinet" in the context of cardiovascular development and pediatric cardiac genomics. Rather than funding a standalone research project, it funds the central team responsible for keeping the broader program coherent, productive, and interoperable, especially where data resources, collaboration, and standardized processes are essential to the program's success.Apply for RFA HL 21 002
