NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by continuing support for the NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects. This program encourages applications for investigator-initiated research projects that will develop resources to serve biomedical research. A resource is a non-hypothesis-driven activity to provide data, materials, tools, or services that are essential to making the most timely, high quality, and cost-efficient progress in a field. The resource should be available to any qualified investigator, and should be highly quality controlled, replenishable, and not duplicate resources available commercially or through other sources. Proposed resources should be relevant to the scientific areas of the NIAID mission including the biology, pathogenesis, and host response to microbes, the mechanisms of normal immune function and immune dysfunction resulting in autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, allergy, asthma, or transplant rejection, and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious, immune-mediated, and allergic diseases. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows:&nbsp;Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.</span></p>
