Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; all deadlines and details are subject to change.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) anticipates supporting the Translational Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (TTTCSG). This program aims to advance clinical translation of safe and effective transplant tolerance regimens, with the goal of achieving durable graft survival without the need for lifelong immunosuppressive drugs. The initiative will establish a collaborative, multi-center research group dedicated to developing, optimizing, and testing approaches to induce and maintain immune tolerance to allogeneic transplants. Projects are expected to use translationally relevant models and foster cooperation across institutions.
