Development of New Tools for Cell Fate Determination and Tissue Homeostasis in the Aged (R21): -Purpose. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to develop tools to track cell fate determination (cell lineage) and to determine cell life spans in normal tissue homeostasis and in response to injury or disease in the elderly. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support basic and applied exploratory/developmental research projects for the development of tools needed to determine cell life spans and cell fates in various tissues of aged mammals, specifically in humans or in model organisms (e.g., rodents or nonhuman primates). Applications will address the design, development and quantitative testing of integrated systems for cell turnover rates and lineage tracing in one or more cell types. Such systems should be applicable to determine the age-dependent changes in cellular turnover and fates in tissues that lose function with advanced age. Application and submission requirements, and peer review processes will follow NIH guidelines (outlined in this FOA). -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NIA expects to award $1.0 million in Fiscal Year 2009 (FY2009) to fund up to 5 meritorious projects that are responsive to this FOA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
