Does this fit your business?

This is a single NIH cooperative agreement to build and run a Data Coordinating Center for a mouse brain atlas used in aging and Alzheimer's research. It is for organizations with real bioinformatics, multi-omic data integration, and scientific data-portal experience, not for small businesses looking for general operating money. Retail, finance, construction, and any applicant without a biomedical data infrastructure track record should not bother.

Best for
Biotech or bioinformatics small businesses with mouse genomics or data-coordination experience, Universities and academic research computing groups, Nonprofits running scientific data-sharing infrastructure, Research teams already working with NIA AD-MAPs or the AD Knowledge Portal
Not for
Retail, finance, construction, and other businesses with no biomedical data or research-infrastructure track record, Foreign organizations or U.S. organizations planning foreign subawards, Applicants looking for general business funding or working capital

Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
November 10, 2026. The notice was posted September 1, 2026.
How much funding can an applicant receive?
The program lists total funding of $2,500,000 with about 1 award expected, so a single award of roughly that size is anticipated. The facts do not state a per-award ceiling or project period, so check the NOFO for those details.
Who can apply for this grant?
Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, state, county, city/township and special district governments, public and Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized and other Native American tribal organizations. Foreign entities are not eligible, and NIH will not fund applications involving foreign subawards or subcontracts.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Small businesses are listed as eligible, but the notice does not define whether sole proprietors or single-member LLCs qualify, so check Section III of the NOFO before assuming you can apply.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are both listed as eligible applicants.

Summary

NIH U24 cooperative agreement to establish a Data Coordinating Center for the Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Brain Atlas, integrating and disseminating multi-omic and connectomic mouse brain datasets. Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profits, nonprofits, universities, and state/local/tribal governments; foreign entities are ineligible.

About this grant

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications proposing a Data Coordinating Center that integrates and disseminates multiscale mouse brain datasets for the aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) research community. The Data Coordinating Center will establish the Aging and AD Mouse Brain Atlas (AD-MBA), which will serve as a central, unified research resource for multi-omic and connectomic mouse brain datasets emerging from the NIA AD Multimodal Atlas Projects (AD-MAPs). The Data Coordinating Center will (1) leverage the NIA-supported AD Knowledge Portal data infrastructure to facilitate hosting, deposition, and dissemination of multimodal datasets generated by the AD-MAPs program, (2) facilitate collaborative analyses among the data-contributing teams, (3) develop/optimize and incorporate tools for multiscale integration of multi-omics and connectomics datasets, and (4) create a broadly accessible web-based interface for the visualization and dissemination of integrated multiscale data.
