Purpose

On November 17, the NIH issued the first set of funding opportunities associated with the implementation of the NIH Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) Cohort Program. These included four (4) funding opportunity announcements for cooperative agreements, and two (2) funding opportunities for Other Transaction awards.

Together, the projects these funding opportunities support will build a solid infrastructure for the PMI Cohort Program. The cooperative agreements will support a coordinating center (RFA-PM-16-001), network of healthcare provider organizations (RFA-PM-16-002), participant mobile technologies (RFA-PM-16-003), and a biobank (RFA-PM-16-004). The Other Transaction awards will develop a pilot program to inform the creation of the direct volunteer enrollment component of the cohort (OT-PM-16-001), and develop a communication infrastructure that will be vital to conveying the importance of this research effort (OT-PM-16-002).
