Engineering Next-Generation Human Nervous System Microphysiological Systems (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

Engineering Next-Generation Human Nervous System Microphysiological Systems (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed). This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages research grant applications directed toward developing next-generation human cell-derived microphysiological systems (MPS) and related assays that replicate complex nervous system architectures and physiology with improved fidelity over current capabilities. Supported projects will be expected to enable future studies of complex nervous system development, function, and aging in healthy and disease states. [Posted on 11/6/2024. Expires on 1/8/2026]

Advanced-Stage Development and Utilization of Research Infrastructure for Interdisciplinary Aging Studies (R33 Clinical Trial Optional)

Advanced-Stage Development and Utilization of Research Infrastructure for Interdisciplinary Aging Studies (R33 Clinical Trial Optional). This NOFO invites applications that propose advanced-stage development and utilization of novel research infrastructure to advance the science of aging in specific areas requiring interdisciplinary partnerships or collaborations. Applicants are expected to have an existing research infrastructure developed with other NIH or non-NIH support. Through this award, investigators will endeavor to develop a mature and sustainable research infrastructure to support projects that address key interdisciplinary aging research questions.
