Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) encourage pursuit of the NIH s mission through the submission of investigator-initiated Specialized Center (P50) applications.

The research projects included within the Specialized Center must share a common central scientific theme, focus, and/or an overall objective. Emphasis on how the component research projects build on one another to achieve goals beyond the scope of each individual project is also expected. Specialized Center must demonstrate synergy through cohesiveness, shared resources, and collaborative impact. Statutory authority: Awards are made under the authorization of Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
