This Notice of Funding Opportunity from the NIH aims to establish a Federated Biospecimen Repository. This grant is for creating an essential infrastructure to coordinate, collect, manage, and disseminate crucial biospecimen materials. The primary purpose is to significantly advance clinical research into co-occurring conditions affecting individuals with Down syndrome across their lifespan. This initiative strategically leverages the NIH’s ongoing investment in the INCLUDE Project, including the INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center (DCC), and existing NIH-funded Down syndrome biospecimen repositories. Utilizing a cooperative agreement mechanism, this resource will serve as a vital companion to the Down Syndrome Cohort Research Sites and Coordinating Centers within the broader Down Syndrome Cohort Development Program, enhancing comprehensive research efforts.
