Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites an application for the Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) of the Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium (GpCRC). The companion FOA, RFA-DK-20-504 will support continuation of the GpCRC Clinical Centers (CC). The Consortium forms a multi-disciplinary teams composed of members from the CCs and SDRC to undertake a comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and biological characterization of adult and children patients with GP to gain insight into the pathophysiology of GP and its sequela: chronic abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, poor metabolic control and impaired quality of life. To achieve the goal of a comprehensive characterization of evolving Gastroparesis both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, as well as in children the Scientific Data Research Center (SDRC) will take on the administrative and data collection/analysis functions and will be responsible for the conduct of all of the ongoing and future studies of the CCs 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.
