This NIAID grant funds the Basic Research Program within the Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence (ACE) network. Its primary goal is to enhance the understanding, prevention, and treatment of autoimmune diseases. The ACE fosters crucial collaboration between basic and clinical scientists to accelerate both fundamental and applied research. This program seeks innovative studies focusing on human autoimmunity, organized into Principal, Pilot, and Collaborative Projects. Awardees will also partner with the Clinical ACE to investigate autoimmune disease pathogenesis and mechanisms of immune-modulating interventions. This cooperative network aims to significantly advance autoimmune disease research.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications to participate in the NIAID Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence (ACE), a cooperative network intended to improve the understanding, prevention, and treatment of autoimmune diseases (www.autoimmunitycenters.org). The ACE was founded on the premise that collaborations among basic and clinical scientists can accelerate both fundamental and applied research. The ACE combines Basic and Clinical research programs. This FOA solicits applications for the Basic research program; a companion FOA solicits applications for the Clinical research program. Members of the Basic research program will conduct innovative studies of human autoimmunity within Principal, Pilot, and Collaborative Projects. Members of the Basic and Clinical ACE will work together to design and conduct studies of autoimmune disease pathogenesis and mechanisms of action of immune-modulating interventions being tested in ACE clinical trials. |
