Description

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications to participate as the Administrative Coordinating Center (ACC) for the Lung Repair and Regeneration Consortium (LRRC) (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-12-006.html). The goal of the Consortium is to foster research by highly integrated multidisciplinary scientific teams to address an important knowledge gap in fundamental mechanisms underlying lung repair and regeneration and to translate this knowledge to new regenerative medicine strategies for reversing debilitating and life-limiting pulmonary disorders. The program is expected to support development of novel tools (e.g., reagents, models, imaging, and/or data analysis tools) which will accelerate research progress in lung repair/regeneration. The Consortium will assemble multiple independent research projects, each with a multi-disciplinary team of Principal Investigators, to develop new reagents, models and/or tools to advance research focused on lung repair and regeneration, and will develop a skills development Core for trainees.
