Collaborative Network for Clinical Research on Immune Tolerance

National Institutes of Health

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission through the continued support of the Collaborative Network for Clinical Research on Immune Tolerance. The purpose of this program is to enhance understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the induction, maintenance, and loss of immune tolerance in humans; and to develop improved tolerogenic interventions for the prevention and treatment of immune system mediated diseases (including transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, and asthma and allergic diseases). The three major scientific goals include: 1) conduct clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of promising tolerogenic strategies in liver, kidney and pancreatic islet transplantation; allergic diseases and asthma; and autoimmune diseases; 2) investigate the basic mechanisms of immune tolerance in these diseases as an integral part of clinical trials; and 3) develop, refine and validate immune assays to monitor the induction, maintenance, and loss of tolerance in these disorders. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.

Single Source: Resource Center for the Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Program

National Institutes of Health

The Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) program aims to develop and sustain research excellence at resource-limited institutions, many of which disproportionately serve regions of the U.S. that have not historically participated in substantial NIH research, by supporting investigator-initiated research with strong student participation. A SuRE Resource Center has been established to enhance the administrative research infrastructure of SuRE-eligible institutions and to provide services to advise investigators who are interested in applying for a SuRE award. Specifically, the Resource Center: (1) assists institutions with building research capacity, (2) conducts outreach and training to professional staff and faculty at eligible institutions, and (3) collects and reports data relevant to the goals of the program. This is a Forecast for a Single Source that will invite an application from an eligible organization to apply. Please see Eligibility Section for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application will be peer-reviewed, and only a meritorious application will be considered.
