The NIH INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE (INCLUDE) Project offers this grant to establish Down Syndrome Cohort Research Sites (DS-CRS). This grant is for the purpose of improving health and quality-of-life for individuals with Down syndrome by recruiting participants across the lifespan. Awardees will collect biospecimens, phenotypic data, images, and omics for deep phenotyping, making this critical data readily available to the broader scientific community. Sites are expected to actively participate in all aspects of planning, conducting a common research protocol, and interpreting results. This initiative supports a new Down Syndrome Cohort Development Program, complementing efforts for a Clinical Cohort Coordinating Center and a Federated Biobanking Resource. A Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) is required for all applications.

| Description: | The NIH INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE (INCLUDE) Project seeks to improve health and quality-of-life for individuals with Down syndrome. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applicants to participate in a new INCLUDE Project Down Syndrome Cohort Development Program (DS-CDP) as Cohort Research Sites (DS-CRS). The purpose of this program is to recruit participants with Down syndrome across the lifespan; collect biospecimens; assemble phenotypic data, images, and omics for deep phenotyping; and make the data readily available to the scientific community. Research sites will participate in all aspects of planning and conducting a common protocol, as well as interpretation and translation of results. This NOFO runs in parallel with a companion NOFO (RFA-OD-24-005) that will solicit applications for the Clinical Cohort Coordinating Center (DS-4C) to provide overall coordination of the DS-CDP. A related NOFO (RFA-OD-24-004) will support a Federated Biobanking Resource to store and distribute biospecimens collected by the Cohort Research Sites. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material. |
