Grant Description

The present Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports the development of collaborative, inter-disciplinary research teams using innovative approaches to answer a single critically important research question relevant to our understanding, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of the urologic pelvic pain syndrome traditionally referred to as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS). Collectively, the team effort should represent a greater contribution to program goals than would occur if each team member worked individually. Critical research questions are expected to reflect new approaches for IC/PBS research. Research teams should be comprised of investigators with the necessary expertise to answer the critical research question and are likely to be drawn from diverse but complementary expertise from fields of clinical, basic, and/or translational science; inclusion of traditional clinical urology expertise is encouraged. It is expected that the team members will have independent research support and are expected to be established, independent investigators who bring key scientific strengths to the program. It is anticipated that assembled research teams supported through this program will be positioned to seek future awards that will enhance our understanding urologic pelvic pain and associated conditions..
