Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet): SenNet Data Coordination and Integration Center (SenNet DCIC) (UM1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting applications for a Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) to support the Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet). The DCIC is expected to coordinate and integrate data generated across the SenNet consortium. This is a forecasted opportunity under the UM1 cooperative agreement mechanism, and clinical trials are explicitly not allowed. The opportunity is anticipated to open on April 8, 2026.

What they want

Risks & flags

• Opportunity is forecasted only — full requirements, evaluation criteria, and deadlines are not yet published
• UM1 cooperative agreement mechanism typically favors large, established research institutions with prior NIH consortium experience
• SenNet-specific scope may implicitly favor incumbents or institutions already embedded in the SenNet program
