| Description: |
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in collaboration with the Department of Defense Joint Program Committee-6 (JPC-6), Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This FOA will establish a trans-agency program to support collaborations between hematologists/vascular experts, neuroscientists, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) tissue chip developers for high risk/high reward research to create enhanced/modified platforms that more closely model the human BBB. An improved human-like BBB prototype/model can serve as an invaluable resource to the scientific community, and complement BBB research currently based on animal models. The blood component has been a missing piece of the puzzle in blood-brain barrier research. This initiative intends to infuse the field with hematology, vascular, and circadian expertise to take translation in this area to the next step bringing the blood back to the blood-brain barrier. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations between hematologists/vascular experts, neuroscientists, and BBB tissue chip developers for responsive projects. The FOA is expected to be published in Summer 2019 with an expected application due date in Fall 2019. This FOA will utilize the R61/R33 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below. |
