Promoting a Basic Understanding of Chemical Threats to Skin (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This grant will fund research to understand how toxic chemicals cause skin injuries at the molecular and cellular level, aiming to find shared therapeutic targets for broad-spectrum treatments.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: November 5, 2028
Funding Amounts: Up to $300,000 per award; approximately 5 awards anticipated
Summary: Supports basic research on the mechanisms of skin injuries from toxic chemicals to advance broad-spectrum medical countermeasures for chemical emergencies.
Description
This grant opportunity solicits applications for basic research investigating the pathological mechanisms of skin injuries caused by toxic Chemicals of Concern (CoC) identified as public health threats by the U.S. Government. The initiative is part of the trans-NIH Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP) and aims to stimulate the discovery and early development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures (MCMs). The ultimate goal is to enhance national preparedness and response capabilities for high-consequence chemical disasters and emergencies.
