The National Institute of Health is offering a grant for a Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research. This grant seeks to lead research on natural product drug interactions and develop methods to determine the clinical relevance of these interactions. The objectives include identifying natural products with potential interactions, collaborating to fill scientific gaps, establishing best practices, and creating a database for further research. The ultimate goal is to provide better guidance on the simultaneous use of medications and natural products. Closing date for applications is Dec 04, 2014.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for a Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research to provide leadership in the study of natural product drug interactions. The ultimate goal of this program is to develop a definitive approach to determining the clinical relevance of pharmacokinetic interactions between natural products and medications.The Center will 1) identify, prioritize and source four to six natural products with potential to exhibit clinically significant interactions with commonly used medications; 2) work collaboratively with the NIH to develop and execute a statement of work for each of the selected natural products which will address existing gaps in the scientific literature and result in a definitive assessment regarding the clinical relevance of any pharmacokinetic interaction; 3) establish a set of best practices to address the unique challenges related to the study of natural product interactions with drugs; and 4) develop and maintain a database and public access portal for the data and methodology resources generated; thereby facilitating better design of future research and ultimately better decisions regarding the concomitant use of medications and natural products. |
