NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Department Grant for Gene Function Research

This department is offering the Undiagnosed Diseases Gene Function Research (R21) grant to fund studies aimed at investigating genetics, biochemistry, and pathophysiology of newly diagnosed diseases in collaboration with the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. The grant seeks to advance scientific knowledge of rare diseases, particularly focusing on gene variants identified through the UDN. Funding is provided through the NIH Common Fund to support groundbreaking research with the potential for significant impact.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This Developmental Research Funding Opportunity intends to support gene function studies in collaboration with the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) building upon the NIH Intramural Research Programs Undiagnosed Diseases Program (NIH-UDP). Responsive applications will propose to investigate the underlying genetics, biochemistry and/or pathophysiology of newly diagnosed diseases in association with the respective gene variant(s) identified through the UDN. In recent years, gene function studies combined with genetic and genomic analyses and metabolic studies have greatly improved diagnoses of these very rare diseases and advanced scientific knowledge of the underlying pathogenesis. This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact.
