The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is offering the Progenitor Cell Biology Consortium Research Hubs grant to research and establish virtual hubs focusing on progenitor cell biology. The goal is to identify and characterize progenitor cell lineages, direct stem cell differentiation, and develop strategies for cell transplantation challenges. Research Hub applications should consist of two to four synergistic projects, with one designated as the Lead PI/PD. This grant opportunity supports projects through the Research Project Cooperative Agreement (U01) mechanism and the deadline for application submission is May 01, 2009.

| Description: | Purpose. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications to participate in the NHLBI Progenitor Cell Biology Consortium. The goal of the Consortium is to identify and characterize progenitor cell lineages, to direct the differentiation of stem and progenitor cells to desired cell fates, and to develop new strategies to address the unique challenges presented by the transplantation of these cells. The Consortium will assemble clusters of synergistic research projects, each with a multi-disciplinary team of Principal Investigators, to establish virtual Research Hubs focused on progenitor cell biology. The Consortium will also contain core research support facilities and skills development components. Research Hub applications must consist of a cluster of two to four synergistic applications, each of which must derive from a separate R03 application funded through RFA-HL-08-012. One of the applications must be designated the Lead PI/PD application. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Research Project Cooperative Agreement (U01) mechanism of support. |
