Exploratory/Developmental Projects in Translational Research for Neuromuscular Disease (R21): -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), requests applications for projects intended to complete preliminary steps in the pipeline for the preclinical development of therapeutics for neuromuscular diseases. Such projects, if successful, should lead directly to a subsequent project that will include all remaining activities for submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Only Aims required for therapy development can be supported in this program. This program excludes clinical research, basic research, and studies of disease mechanisms. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. 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. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. The participating organizations intend to commit a total of $1 million per year to fund meritorious applications that address the goals of this FOA.
