The National Institutes of Health (NIH) aims to support institutions in characterizing animal stem cells and creating improved animal models for human disease conditions. This grant initiative seeks to enhance the use of stem cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine by focusing on comparative analysis of animal and human stem cells, developing new technologies for stem cell characterization and transplantation, and improving animal disease models for therapeutic applications. The closing date for applications is July 3, 2013.

| Description:: | This FOA encourages Resource-Related Research Project Grant (R24) applications from institutions and organizations proposing research aimed at characterizing animal stem cells and improving existing and creating new animal models for human disease conditions. The intent of this initiative is to facilitate the use of stem cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine. The initiative focuses on the following areas: 1) comparative analysis of animal and human stem cells to provide information for selection of the most predictive and informative model systems; 2) development of new technologies for stem cell characterization and transplantation; and 3) improvement of animal disease models for stem cell-based therapeutic applications. |
