National Institute of Health: Research Grant for Lymphatics in Health and Disease in the Digestive, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Systems

This grant opportunity aims to support research projects investigating the role of lymphatic vessels in the health and diseases of digestive, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems, focusing on resolving thromboembolic events, inflammation, and immune responses. Priority is given to studies exploring the control of lymphatic vessel function in these systems and their impact on organ function during health and disease. Projects centered on immune mechanisms will not be considered. Closing date for submissions is Sep 07, 2013.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This FOA is to encourage Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) applications for research into aspects of lymphatic vessel physiology and pathophysiology related to health and disease of digestive, cardiovascular and pulmonary system organs and resolution of thromboembolic events, and inflammation and immune responses as they relate to these diseases. However, studies with the major focus on immune mechanisms will not be considered responsive. Studies to understand the factors that control local lymphatic vessel functional anatomy and physiology during health or disease in these organs and systems, and the mechanisms by which alterations of lymphatic vessel function affect organ function, are of interest.
