The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for UG3/UH3 cooperative agreements to support the development of a publicly available core set(s) of COAs and their related endpoints for specific disease indications or for disease impacts that span multiple rare diseases of similar phenotypes.

The UG3/UH3 Phase Innovation Award Cooperative Agreement involves 2 phases. The UG3 phase will provide funding for 1 to 2 years to conduct planning activities. The UH3 phase will provide funding for 3 to 4 years to projects that successfully complete the planning activities and reach the projected milestones set in the UG3 phase. UH3 phase awards will be awarded after administrative review of eligible UG3 phase awards that have met the scientific milestone and feasibility requirements necessary for UH3 phase implementation. The number of awards is dependent on the availability of funds. The UG3/UH3 application must be submitted as a single application, and applicants should note specific instructions for each phase in this FOA. The total award project period will not exceed 5 years.
