Nhlbi Programs of Excellence in Nanotechnology: This RFA will create multidisciplinary teams capable of developing and applying nanotechnology and nanoscience solutions to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematopoietic and sleep disorders. In recent years, rapid advances in science and technology have opened up the burgeoning new field of nanotechnology, bringing a myriad of opportunities and possibilities for advancing medical science and disease treatment. Nanotechnology and nanoscience focus on materials at the atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels. The goal is to control and manipulate these new materials by precisely configuring atoms and molecules, producing novel molecular assemblies and designing systems of self- assembly to create supramolecular devices on the scale of an individual cell and smaller. Investigators with skills in nanotechnology rarely focus on heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) research and investigators focused on HLBS disorders are generally not oriented to the development and use of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. Therefore, a crucial need exists to foster partnerships between the two communities and to establish shared goals and resources. Creating multidisciplinary teams will be essential to realizing the potential of nanotechnology and applying it to HLBS disorders.
