Muscular Dystrophy: Pathogenesis and Therapies (R21): The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) encourage investigator-initiated research grant applications for projects studying pathogenesis and therapies for the muscular dystrophies. Responses to this announcement may include basic, translational or patient-oriented studies of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy or other forms of muscular dystrophy. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) mechanism and runs in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope (PA 05-038) that will utilize the traditional research project grant (R01) mechanism. R21 applications may request up to $275,000 direct costs for the two-year term of the grant. 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 number, quality, and costs of the applications received. Eligible organizations include for-profit and non-profit organizations, public or private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospitals and laboratories, units of State and local governments, eligible agencies of the Federal government, domestic or foreign institutions/organizations; Faith-based or community-based organizations, Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized), Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized), Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organizations. Eligible principal investigators include any individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research.
