The Role of Innate Immunity in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases: The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases invites grant applications for research to advance our understanding of the role of the innate immune system in the etiopathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Autoreactive B and T cells have been the traditional focus of autoimmune research. Rather than act separately and sequentially, it has become apparent that an interplay between the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system results in either the adaptive immune response or the autoimmune response. Advances have been made in understanding the basic immunology of innate immunity and its interaction with adaptive immunity. The purpose of this RFA is to stimulate and encourage innovative and multidisciplinary research to translate this knowledge of innate immunity into an understanding of its role in the etiopathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The applications in response to this RFA may be for individual research projects (R01) or for exploratory/developmental grants (R21).
