Description

Purpose. The purpose of this initiative is to advance the fundamental understanding of the basis of pluripotency and the molecular events and mechanisms of reprogramming, including the epigenetics and epigenomics of the pluripotent and reprogrammed states. Studies should be focused on human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Comparative studies with human stem cells and/or non-human mammalian ESC, iPSC and embryo models may be included. Mechanism of Support. This FOA utilizes the P01 research grant mechanism Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NIGMS intends to commit funds in fiscal year 2011 to support up to 3 awards in response to this FOA. NIBIB expects to contribute up to $250,000 total costs per year (total of $1.25M for five years). Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
