Gabriella Miller Kids First Training and Outreach Core (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The NIH Common Fund, with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First), which seeks to help researchers uncover new insights into the biology of childhood cancer and congenital anomalies, including the discovery of shared genetic pathways between these disorders, to understand the underlying mechanisms of disease and ultimately lead to more targeted therapies and interventions for patients and families. The program’s Training and Outreach Core initiative will fund continued engagement of the research and patient communities expertise in activities that will improve the value of Kids First data. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the UL1 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into training and researcher and patient community engagement are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
