Critical Issues in Post-phlebitic Syndrome: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications to support research on venous biology, and post-thrombotic response of the vein wall and valve function with the goal of accelerating preclinical studies and developing better management principles of post-phlebitic syndrome. The R01 grant mechanism will be utilized. This initiative encourages studies on the involvement of genetic risk factors and the inflammatory process in the development of the post-phlebitic syndrome. Serial imaging studies of the vein wall and venous valve functions in the more chronic stage and their prevention by early anticoagulation therapy are of interest. We anticipate that such research will contribute to the translation of basic research to clinical studies and ultimately lead to innovative approaches for the prevention and treatment of post-phlebitic syndrome. The NHLBI plans to commit $4 million in FY 2006 to fund about 10 to 12 grants. Eligible o! rganizations include domestic or foreign, public or private institutions. There is no limit on the number of applications from an institution but an individual may submit only one grant application. Individuals with the skills, knowledge, and institutional resources necessary to carry out the proposed research are invited to apply for support. Individuals from the underrepresented or disadvantaged groups are always encouraged to apply for NIH opportunities. To submit an application, the PHS 398 form and instructions should be used and are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format.
