Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to establish Centers to support research that will accelerate the translational use of Microphysiological Systems (MPS) in drug development through regulatory acceptance and adoption for industrial use, by establishing MPS that are fit-for-purpose for industry needs and have specific defined contexts of use (CoUs) and will be developed with consideration of applicable expectations to achieve regulatory approval. For this FOA, the term drugs refers to both human pharmacological and biological products unless otherwise specified. These Centers will further the development of MPS as drug development tools (DDTs) that, once qualified, will be made publicly and commercially available to fill unmet needs in drug development.
