Description
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the NIH, intends to solicit applications for resource-based centers focused on skin biology and diseases. These centers will provide essential research infrastructure, shared facilities, services, and resources to support groups of investigators conducting research in skin diseases. The aim is to accelerate, enrich, and enhance ongoing basic, translational, and clinical research, as well as to promote new research initiatives within the NIAMS mission. Collaborative, team-based science is especially encouraged.
This is a forecasted opportunity; the official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will be published in the coming months. Researchers interested in applying are encouraged to begin developing collaborations and projects in anticipation of the formal solicitation.
