Integrated Microphysiological Systems for Drug Efficacy and Toxicity Testing in Human Health and Disease (UH2/UH3): This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds from the NIH Common Fund (Common Fund) and participating NIH Institute(s) and Center(s), invites applications for projects that will develop accurate cellular and organ microsystems representative of human physiology for the evaluation of drug efficacy and toxicity. By definition, these cellular and organ microsystems will have a multicellular architecture representing the characteristics and functions of the tissue of origin and will demonstrate a reproducible and viable operation under physiological conditions over a long culture period. It is anticipated that these bio-engineered human tissue models could lead to the development and commercialization of microsystems that will enable rapid and high fidelity evaluation of safety and efficacy for candidate therapeutics.
