Interactions Between Stem and Progenitor Cells and the Microenvironment (R03): The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the National Eye Institute (NEI), the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invite applications for studies on the cellular and molecular signaling between the local environment within organisms and stem and progenitor cells that are either introduced as transplants or are normally resident within host tissues and organs. The objective of this initiative is to promote a thorough exploration and characterization of the bi-directional communication between multipotent cells and the three-dimensional local milieu or niche that they encounter in vivo under normal and compromised states, such as with aging or following injury, disease or drug exposure. -This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Small Grant (R03) award mechanism, but runs in parallel with two program announcements of identical scientific scope that utilize the traditional research project grant (R01) [http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAS-05-092.html] and exploratory/developmental research grant (R21) [PAS-06-208] mechanisms, respectively. -The participating organizations intend to commit a total of $2,700,000 to this FOA for payment of applications responsive to this announcement and two parallel announcements that use the R01 and R21 mechanisms. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Project Period and Award Levels: A total project period of up to two years and a budget for direct costs of up to two $25,000 modules or $50,000 per year may be requested. -Eligible organizations include: For-profit organizations; Non-profit organizations; Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; Eligible agencies of the Federal government; Units of State government; Units of local government ; Foreign Institutions; Domestic Institutions; Faith-based or community-based organizations; and units of state or local tribal governments. -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research, is invited to work with his/her institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -An R03 is not renewable.
