Grant Description

The purpose of this Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to continue the Data Coordination Core (DCC) for the Multidisciplinary Research Approach to the Study of Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network for one year. The MAPP Network is a multi-center study of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) designed to provide new insights into underlying etiology, natural history, and risk factors in order to provide a translational foundation for future clinical intervention efforts and improved clinical management for the syndromes commonly known as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). The MAPP Network is comprised of six Discovery Sites, a DCC, and a Tissue and Technology Core (TATC), and other units. All clinical data is centrally managed and analyzed by the DCC. This Limited Competition will provide support to the DCC to continue to analyze data efforts to support network studies. It will also enable the DCC to establish a new MAPP Network Integrated Basic/Translational Science Working Group. This Working Group will develop collaborative scientific studies ancillary to current network protocols. The DCC will develop and administer a competitive process for selection of Working Group members and support participating sites through sub-contracts.
