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: March 1, 2029 (Applications)
Funding Amounts: Up to $500,000 per award; $17 million estimated total funding for 30 expected awards
Summary: Supports integrated research centers providing shared infrastructure, resources, and methodological expertise in NIAMS mission areas.
Key Information: Clinical trials are not allowed.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of NIH, supports integrated research centers in skin biology and diseases; bone, muscle, and orthopaedic research; and rheumatic diseases. The P30 Centers Program funds coordinated research infrastructure, shared resources, and methodological expertise to advance basic, translational, and clinical research.
The program aims to accelerate scientific discovery, improve research efficiency, and translate findings into improved health outcomes. Centers are expected to integrate state-of-the-art resources with clinical and translational research capabilities, including novel analytical methods, study designs, outcome measures, and data-driven approaches. They will also foster multidisciplinary collaboration, support workforce development across career stages, and promote training in data science, artificial intelligence, and implementation research.
