National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Grant on Biomechanisms of Peripheral Nerve Damage by Anti-Cancer Therapy (R21)

This grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke aims to fund research on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), focusing on understanding the mechanisms of peripheral nerve damage caused by cancer treatments. Researchers are encouraged to explore neurosensory symptoms and develop interventions for CIPN. The goal is to gain a molecular understanding of CIPN to facilitate the development of effective treatments. Closing date for applications is May 07, 2015.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage basic biologic research on damage to the peripheral nervous system instigated by pharmacologic cancer treatments, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The majority of acquired peripheral neuropathy research has focused on diabetic and inherited diseases; this FOA intends to stimulate neuroscience researchers to apply their expertise from studying these other neuropathies to the injuries incurred by cancer treatments. More data is necessary to understand the mechanisms of neuronal damage and to identify the targets instrumental to CIPN initiation and maintenance. Preclinical research that focuses not only on peripheral neuropathic pain but also on neurosensory symptoms such as paresthesias and peripheral anesthesias is invited. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to lead to a molecular understanding of CIPN that allows for the rational development of interventions that will treat or prevention CIPN.
