NIAMS plans to fund resource-based centers that provide shared facilities and support for collaborative research on skin diseases, aiming to enhance and accelerate related scientific studies.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): October 2026 (application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Estimated up to 30 awards; typical NIH P30 centers range from $500,000–$1.5M/year for 5 years
Summary: Supports integrated research centers in NIAMS mission areas to accelerate discovery, foster collaboration, and enhance translation of research into health outcomes.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; all dates and details are subject to update.
This program aims to accelerate scientific discovery, improve research efficiency, and enhance the translation of research findings into improved health outcomes in the fields of skin biology and diseases, bone, muscle, orthopaedic research, and rheumatic diseases. Funded centers will provide coordinated research infrastructure and shared resources to support basic, translational, and clinical research. The program emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration, workforce development across career stages, and training in emerging areas such as data science, artificial intelligence, and implementation research. Centers are expected to integrate state-of-the-art research resources and support the development and dissemination of novel analytical methods, study designs, outcome measures, and data-driven approaches.
