Description
This NIH opportunity, part of the INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE) Project, funds exploratory and innovative research to develop, characterize, or improve animal models and related biological materials for Down syndrome (DS) research. The goal is to advance preclinical and basic science studies relevant to DS and to improve access to information and resources derived from animal models. Projects may focus on new or improved animal models, genetic resources, single-cell or subcellular atlases, advanced informatics (including AI/ML), and integration of multiple models or platforms to enhance rigor and reproducibility in DS research.
