Innovative Grants on Immune Tolerance: This RFA invites R21 applications for Exploratory/Developmental Research Project Grants. The primary goal of the initiative is to support pilot projects to introduce new research ideas into the bench-to-bedside pipeline. Applications submitted under this award mechanism should be exploratory and novel, and must focus on mechanisms of immune tolerance in the fetal, neonatal, and early childhood stages of development up to and including adolescence (through age 19 in humans). These studies should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications, and have the potential to change clinical treatment of allergic diseases, autoimmune disorders, or graft rejection in solid organ, tissue and cell transplantation. Clinical trials, studies on HIV/AIDS, and behavioral research will not be supported under this RFA. However, research involving human tissues or samples is encouraged.
