Grant Description: The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate translational research on the pulmonary complications of sickle cell disease. The RFA encourages collaborative research between investigators in hematology and pulmonary science that combines basic and clinical approaches. Acute chest syndrome affected 29% of all sickle cell disease patients followed in the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) between 1979 and 1988. Chronic pulmonary disease, characterized by perfusion/diffusion defects and pulmonary hypertension, also has emerged as a significant problem. Both acute chest syndrome and chronic sickle cell pulmonary disease are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, especially in adult patients. This RFA will support 3-5 programs where pulmonary and sickle cell disease researchers conduct both basic science and clinical investigation to elucidate mechanisms for these complications and develop new treatments.
