NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION REQUEST FOR COMPETING APPLICATIONS: NHLBI FAMILY BLOOD PRESSURE PROGRAM (FBPP) RELEASE DATE: June 22, 2004 NOTICE: NOT-HL-04-114 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov) APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE: September 14, 2004 The NHLBI is requesting competing renewal applications from the investigators currently funded as part of the NHLBI Family Blood Pressure Program (please see http://apps.nhlbi.nih.gov/popstudies/Contacts.ASP?TrialNumber=1153 for currently funded applications). These programs were awarded as a result of Request for Applications (RFA) HL-94-011, Genetic Determinants of High Blood Pressure (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-94-011.html) and its competing renewal. This Program consists of four Networks investigating the genetic contributions to hypertension and associated risk factors. The FBPP provides a unique collaborative structure for basic and clinical research in hypertension. The extensive time and processes involved in establishing a collaboration essential for efficient development and implementation of protocols and analysis as a Program warrants this limited re-competition for one three year renewal cycle. The experience gained by the current group of investigators in working together, designing protocols suitable for a research network setting, standardized quality control and producing high quality follow-up data is considerable. The FBPP pooled data set provides a unique resource of unparalleled value for hypertension gene discovery and studies of complex disease genetics. The NHLBI would like to provide continued support to the FBPP, who will also implement a plan to make FBPP-owned data available to the public scientific research community. Keeping the group intact, and encouraging the incorporation of new ideas and analyses within the scope of the FBPP goals, will take maximum advantage of the collaborative effort and resources already developed by the FBPP, and will also allow for significant contributions to advance hypertension research. The renewal as defined under this notice of limited competition will not include large scale recruitment of new participants or follow up clinical exams on existing participants. However, renewal applications may include in depth, controlled clinical and/or physiological investigations in a limited number of selected participants. Plans for data sharing of this unique resource will be a part of this renewal application (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/data_sharing). SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION Applications must be prepared using the PHS 398 research grant application instructions and forms (rev. 5/2001). Applications must have a DUN and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number as the Universal Identifier when applying for Federal grants or cooperative agreements. The DUNS number can be obtained by calling (866) 705-5711 or through the web site at http://www.dunandbradstreet.com/. The DUNS number should be entered on line 11 of the face page of the PHS 398 form. The PHS 398 document is available at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format.
