NHLBI Exploratory Program in Systems Biology (R33): -The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications for collaborative research projects to initiate high-risk, high impact research by multidisciplinary teams of investigators. These projects will combine computational modeling and simulation approaches with experimental validation of model predictions to advance understanding the normal physiology and perturbations associated with heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. -Applications must comprise of a cluster of two or more applications, with a minimum of one application for a computational/modeling component and one application for a biomedical/experimental component of the cluster. Please see Section IV., heading 6. Other Submission Requirements for Specific Instructions for Preparing a Cluster of R33 Award Applications -Project Period and Award Levels: The NHLBI intends to award up to $2.7 million in FY2007 and FY 2008 to fund three new cluster grants in each year in response to this FOA. Clusters may request a project period of up to three years and a budget for direct costs for the entire cluster of up to $600,000 in each year.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant
Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities Private institutions of higher education For profit organizations other than small businesses Special district governments Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education State governments County governments Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification) City or township governments Independent school districts Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility
Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply. For each receipt date, an applicant may submit only one application as a Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) in response to this FOA. If funded as a PD/PI by this FOA, a person is ineligible from applying again as a principal investigator. An institution or organization may submit more than one application in response to this FOA. Responsiveness Criteria: This solicitation is not intended to support projects that would result in routine or incremental progress. NHLBI understands and accepts that applications that are responsive to this solicitation will be much riskier than most applications. Applications responsive to this FOA must comprise of a cluster of two or more applications of two or more applications, with a minimum of one application for a computational/modeling component and one application for a biomedical/experimental component of the cluster. As this FOA aims to improve understanding of physiology and pathophysiology underlying cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep function, the main thrust of applications must be to understand the functioning of these tissues and organs in mammalian model systems. Applications exclusively using non-mammalian models will be non-responsive. Applications whose experimental component is entirely based on immortalized cell lines will be deemed non-responsive. Annual Grantee Meeting: Upon initiation of the program, the NHBLI will arrange annual meetings to encourage the exchange of information among the investigators who participate in this program. In the preparation of the budget for the grant application, applicants should include travel funds for one meeting each year to be held in or near Bethesda, MD, for the principal investigators and key collaborators. At these meetings awardees will be expected to share their results and to help evaluate the progress of the Centers. Attendance at these meetings is required.
