Interactions Between Stem and Progenitor Cells and the Microenvironment in Vivo (R01): -Purpose. 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. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism, but will be run in parallel with two program announcements of identical scientific scope (PAS-06-207 and PAS-06-208) that will utilize the small research grant (R03) and exploratory/developmental grant (R21) mechanisms, respectively.
