Anemia of Inflammation and of Chronic Diseases (R01): -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the NIDDK, NCI, NHLBI and NIA of National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations for biomedical research that will lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical impact of the anemia of inflammation or the anemia of chronic disease (AICD). The outcome of this research should lead towards improved methods of detection, prevention and treatment of this common form of anemia. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NIDDK has set aside $500,000 in total costs for this initiative in FY2008. If funds are available and there is sufficient interest, this funding opportunity may be announced again in coming years. It is expected that one or two awards will be issued in addition to those meeting regular funding criteria. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. 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.
