Non-Human Primate Islet/Kidney Transplantation Tolerance (U01, U19): -The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invite new or competitive renewal applications from single institutions and consortia of institutions to participate in the Non-Human Primate Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (NHPCSG) program. The goals of the NHPCSG are to evaluate the preclinical safety and efficacy of existing and newly developed immune tolerance induction regimens and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the induction, maintenance, and/or loss of tolerance in non-human primate (NHP) models of islet, kidney, heart, and lung transplantation. Currently funded NHPCSG research projects of islet and kidney transplantation tolerance models expire in FY 2007. This Request for Applications (RFA) is a renewal of that portion of the program focused on NHP islet and kidney models. -This RFA solicits only applications for research projects studying NHP models of islet and/or kidney transplantation tolerance. -Research not solicited by this RFA includes: NHP heart and lung transplantation tolerance models, xenotransplantation models, and animal models of islet and kidney transplantation other than NHPs. -The participating institutes intend to commit approximately $6.7 million in FY 2007. Additional discretionary funds of up to $1 million/year in FY 2007 and FY 2008 will be provided to support new pilot and feasibility projects on emerging opportunities, and development of a website to facilitate communications between NHPCSG members and the research community. Although the financial plans of the IC(s) provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this funding opportunity are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. -Five to eight new or competitive renewal awards are anticipated -This initiative will use the Cooperative Agreement (U01) and multi-project Cooperative Agreement (U19) award mechanisms. -For-profit and non-profit organizations are eligible, including public or private institutions, units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the federal government and domestic institutions and organizations. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant but may enter into a consortium with a domestic institution serving as the primary applicant. -Eligible Principal Investigators include all individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Racial/ethnic minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply as Principal Investigators. -An institution may submit more than one application. -A Principal Investigator may also serve as a Project Leader in a multi-project application or as a collaborator in another application provided there is no scientific overlap with the application submitted by the Principal Investigator. However, an investigator may serve as Principal Investigator on only one application. -See Section IV.1 for application materials. -Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088
