The Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence (ACE) program is offering this grant to advance the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases. This cooperative network emphasizes collaboration between basic and clinical scientists to accelerate research. This specific funding opportunity focuses on establishing Clinical Research Programs, separate from a companion Basic research FOA. This grant is for the purpose of enabling clinical research that designs and conducts studies on the mechanisms of action of immune-modulating agents in clinical trials. Successful applicants will join a network where Clinical and Basic ACE members collaborate to achieve these research goals, ultimately aiming to develop more effective treatments for autoimmune conditions.

| Description: | This FOA solicits applications to participate in the Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence (ACE) program, a cooperative network intended to improve the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases (www.autoimmunitycenters.org). The ACE program was founded on the premise that collaboration among basic and clinical scientists can accelerate both fundamental and applied research. For this reissuanc, the formerly integrated Centers are divided into Basic and Clinical research programs. This FOA solicits applications for the Clinical research program; a companion FOA solicits applications for the Basic research program. The members of the Basic and Clinical ACE will work together to design and conduct studies of mechanisms of action of immune-modulating agents tested in clinical trials. |
