The AGIE Coordinating Center will be responsible for the administration and management of a Pilot and Feasibility Studies program (expected to start in year two (2) of the agreement), the provision of quality assurance and monitoring, and function as a central repository for data and other tools and resources across NIH programs. The goal of the FOA is to seek a Coordinating Center with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to coordinate research aimed at providing a more inclusive environment to enhance the retention and advancement of women in leadership positions; the research is anticipated to include diverse research designs, approaches, and academic disciplines and target different or multiple organizational levels (from interpersonal to departmental to institutional).

The FOA is expected to be published in the Fall of 2022, with an expected application due date in the Spring of 2023. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.
