Description

Purpose. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications to participate in the NHLBI Progenitor Cell Biology Consortium. The goal of the Consortium is to identify and characterize progenitor cell lineages, to direct the differentiation of stem and progenitor cells to desired cell fates, and to develop new strategies to address the unique challenges presented by the transplantation of these cells. The Consortium will assemble clusters of synergistic research projects, each with a multi-disciplinary team of Principal Investigators, to establish virtual Research Hubs focused on progenitor cell biology. The Consortium will also contain core research support facilities and skills development components. Research Hub applications must consist of a cluster of two to four synergistic applications, each of which must derive from a separate R03 application funded through RFA-HL-08-012. One of the applications must be designated the Lead PI/PD application. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Research Project Cooperative Agreement (U01) mechanism of support.
