Resource-Related Research Projects for Development of Models and Related Materials for Studying Human Health and Diseases

Funds developing lab models, new-approach methods or biological materials useful across several NIH institutes, not just one disease.

Individual NIH institutes fund plenty of work on their own disease-specific models, but almost nobody funds a model or method built to serve several institutes at once. This notice, run by NIH's Office of Research Infrastructure Programs, exists for exactly that gap.

Three kinds of work qualify: developing, characterising or improving research models of human health and disease; developing new ap…

Developing, characterising or improving research models of human health and disease, developing biology-based new approach methodologies, or improving access to information from disease models — where the resource must be broadly applicable to two or more NIH institutes or centers and evaluate diseases or processes across multiple organ systems. Narrowly disease-specific or single-institute-focused proposals are excluded.
