Exploratory/Developmental Program for Translational Research in Muscular Dystrophy (R21)
Release Date: March 7, 2006
Announcement Number: PAR-06-203
Application Receipt Date:
June 1, 2006
Funding Contact: John Porter, Ph.D.
Program Area: Channels, Synapses and Neural Circuits
Brief Description:
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal
and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) solicit applications for
translational research projects in muscular dystrophy. Several emerging pathways to treatment of muscular dystrophy show
promise, ranging from palliative therapies that can markedly delay onset or progression of the disease to genetic or stem
cell approaches that may reverse or eliminate the condition. The objective of this initiative is to encourage the pursuit
of a broad range of translational research strategies for therapeutic development in muscular dystrophy. This Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) solicits exploratory/developmental applications that will provide the leads, tools, and resources needed
for a subsequent therapy development project. Applications are encouraged for translational research exploratory/developmental
projects for any one or more of the muscular dystrophies.
