The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to support pilot projects investigating understudied proteins associated with rare diseases. This grant is for the purpose of generating preliminary data and/or developing tools around eligible understudied proteins. The NOFO specifically targets members of druggable protein families with known links to rare diseases. The aim is to jumpstart research, providing funding for basic biochemical and/or biological work. Projects should further the characterization of these proteins within the context of rare disease, laying groundwork for future advancements in understanding and potentially treating these conditions.

| Description: | The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for pilot projects to elucidate a role for understudied proteins in rare disease. Awards will support generation of preliminary data and/or tools around eligible understudied protein(s). A list of eligible proteins is provided and are members of druggable protein families that have a known association with a rare disease. This NOFO is intended to jumpstart research on understudied proteins that are associated with rare diseases and provide applicants with sufficient funding to perform basic biochemical and/or biological work to further the characterization of understudied proteins within the context of rare disease. |
