National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases: Exploring the Diverse Functions of Skeletal Muscle (R01)

This funding opportunity from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases aims to support innovative projects investigating the various functions of skeletal muscle beyond its traditional role in contraction and locomotion. Research topics include endocrine and paracrine functions, thermogenesis, biomechanical stimuli sensing, amino acid storage, and metabolic regulation. Discovering more about these roles could pave the way for novel approaches to addressing conditions like cachexia, obesity, diabetes, and sarcopenia. Applications are open until September 7, 2015.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	With this funding opportunity announcement, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases encourages applications for support of innovative, projects aimed at studying the spectrum of activities of skeletal muscle in health and disease that are beyond its role in contraction and locomotion. These activities include endocrine and paracrine functions of skeletal muscle, resting muscle thermogenesis, sensing of biomechanical stimuli, storing amino acids, regulating systemic metabolism, etc. Advancing understanding of these important functions of muscle may lead to novel strategies for the prevention or treatment of common conditions such as cachexia, obesity, diabetes and sarcopenia.
