Description: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to solicit applications for clinical sites that will provide expert diagnostic services for undiagnosed diseases across the nation. The clinical sites known as Diagnostic Centers of Excellence (DCoEs) will partner with the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) to sustain some of the key research activities currently performed by the Phase II UDN Clinical sites (see:RFA-RM-17-019) and facilitate its transition to a larger network that serves diverse undiagnosed patient populations. The DCoEs will establish collaborations and efficient processes with the Data Management and Coordinating Center (DMCC; see: RFA-NS-22-051); enroll and evaluate new participants; and foster scientific discovery. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the FOA instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
