Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to stimulate mechanistic research on the pathophysiological effects of inhaled nicotine on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in the context of non-cancer heart and lung diseases. This FOA invites applications that will investigate effects of nicotine exposure using cellular systems, animal models, and/or humans. Projects must include experiments at the molecular/cellular level as well as experiments at the tissue/organ/whole animal level. Applications should address hypotheses mechanistically linking nicotine-responsive molecular and cellular pathways with clinically relevant outcomes.
