Description

Purpose. The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites applications to stimulate research that addresses underlying epigenetic factors in symptom expression and complications resulting from chronic disorders. It is anticipated that the findings from this research will help 1) identify individuals at the highest risk for developing severe symptoms and complications secondary to chronic disorders, 2) maximize symptom management, and 3) reduce, prevent, or reverse the occurrence of complications. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-NR-10-005, that encourages applications under the Competitive Revision mechanism.
