Human Microbiome Demonstration Projects (UH2/UH3) (RFA-RM-08-012)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-08-012.html


bullet   Purpose
 This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for projects that will examine, through molecular approaches, the relationship between changes in the human microbiome and human health and disease. This program is a component of the NIH Roadmap 1.5 Human Microbiome Project (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/). This FOA will use the UH2/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanisms to support the demonstration project awards. The program will be funded in two phases, as allowed by this mechanism. The initial one-year pilot phase (UH2) will allow investigators to procure samples and generate data that will be used to support the scale-up phase (UH3), which will be awarded after administrative review to those projects that have the most promise to demonstrate whether or not the human microbiome plays an important role in human health and disease. This FOA is for new projects only.
