Description

The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to enable the development of 3D-bioprinted tissue models for drug discovery, including efficacy studies and toxicology research through a collaborative arrangement between the 3-D Bioprinting Program at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and extramural scientists. NCATS intramural scientists will provide expertise for 3-D bioprinting, assay development and drug screening stages of the projects. Extramural investigators will provide appropriate cell resources, disease expertise and model validation in collaboration with NCATS to perform drug screening of bioprinted materials. The research application will involve 3-D bioprinting in a screening format of patient-derived cells supplied by the extramural investigators, characterization and validation of bioprinted materials by NCATS investigators and extramural collaborators, and screening of appropriate molecular libraries.
