NIAID is offering this grant to fund a program focused on immune intervention strategies for food allergy research. The selected institution will lead the Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) to conduct clinical trials, observational studies, and genetic research to enhance understanding of food allergies and related conditions. The program aims to develop prevention and treatment methods for severe allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Applications are open to single institutions interested in advancing research in this critical area. Closing date for applications is June 19, 2014.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications from single institutions to administer a multi-project multi-institution program, to conduct clinical research and assume the leadership and administrative responsibilities for the Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR). The selected applicant will continue the mission of the CoFAR, which focuses on immune and other intervention strategies for the prevention and treatment of food allergy, including food allergen-associated severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, and food allergen-associated eosinophilic esophagitis. The Consortium will conduct interventional trials with associated mechanistic studies, and observational/natural history and/or genetics studies with associated mechanistic studies, in order to understand better the immunopathogenesis of these conditions. |
