Description

Purpose. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites research project grant (R01) applications aimed at validating novel molecular targets for disease-modifying therapeutic intervention in Huntingtons disease. This FOA is for support of new projects, and not the continuation of projects that have already been initiated with NIH funding. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. $4,500,000 has been set aside in fiscal year 2011 for support of 3 to 4 R01 research projects (assuming average direct costs of $250,000 per year and an average length of four years) in addition to those funded within NINDS regular funding policies. In subsequent years, the amount available will be contingent upon the availability of funds and will be announced in Notices published in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts.
