Grant Description: Purpose The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invites applications for Planning Centers for Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology (IR-BU) (P20). These centers are to foster the establishment of interdisciplinary teams necessary for advancing our understanding of the underlying causes of benign lower urinary tract symptoms. Interdisciplinary teams will typically be composed of an urologist and a basic scientist along with collaborators from other disciplines. Because lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequency, urgency, dysuria, terminal dribbling etc., are descriptive, it has been difficult to attribute these symptoms to specific etiologies or to particular urinary tract organs and tissues, supporting structures, or to the peripheral or central nervous system. The intent of this solicitation is to encourage planning grants to support the development of research teams that can integrate investigations of organ-specific development, structure and function, and physiology and pathophysiology with in vivo studies to understand the potential interplay of urologic and non-urologic organs and tissues that lead to lower urinary tract symptoms. Each IR-BU Center (P20) is limited to a single Scientific Project and must contain an Administrative Core and an Educational Enrichment Program. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Exploratory Grants Mechanism (P20). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIDDK anticipates commitment of up to $1 million in FY 2010 and approximately 3-4 awards per year for this program. Budget and Project Period.The total project period is two years. During this period, applicants may request no more than $200,000 in direct costs per year for 2 years. The maximum budget for the Education Enrichment Program is $25,000. Eligible Institutions/Organizations. Institutions/organizations listed in Section III, 1.A. are eligible to apply. Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs). Individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research are invited to work with their institution/organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
