Description: Purpose. This FOA issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development solicits grant applications from institutions/organizations willing to participate with the NICHD as the Data Coordinating Center in an ongoing multi-center clinical program designed to study clinical and health aspects of pelvic floor disorders in women.

Clinical and health aspects of pelvic floor disorders include surgical and nonsurgical treatments, social and behavioral contributions, pharmacologic therapies, any outcomes from the broad array of treatments available, and prevention efforts, among others. Particular attention will be paid to develop innovative solutions to the challenging problems in women with pelvic floor disorders and to reduce the burden of pelvic floor disorders for women and their families. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Cooperative Research Project (U01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-HD-10-002, that solicits applications under the NIH Cooperative Clinical Research (U10). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD intends to commit approximately $4.09 million in total costs in fiscal year 2011 to fund one new or competing continuation grant for the Data Coordinating Center in response to this FOA.
