Description: The primary purpose of this Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from the clinical sites that have participated in the NIDDK Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium (GPRCR), to support the ongoing GPCRC cohorts, including the first U.S. registry of children and adolescents with gastroparesis, to support ongoing clinical trials and to provide a platform for informative ancillary studies. In addition, a major collaborative effort within the Consortium will be the establishment of an annotated repository of bio-specimens (blood stools and when feasible gastric tissue) to allow for the identification and validation of biomarkers for risk stratification and/or early detection as well as to build on the ongoing Pathological Basis of gastroparesis study which will increase understanding of the pathological basis of gastroparesis.
