NIAID/NIDDK Grant: Advancing Nonhuman Primate Islet/Kidney Transplantation Tolerance (U01)

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) are offering a grant for research on nonhuman primate (NHP) models of kidney and islet transplantation. The grant aims to evaluate immune tolerance induction regimens, understand tolerance mechanisms, and improve long-term graft survival in clinical transplantation. The grant supports participation in the Nonhuman Primate Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (NHPCSG) program, specifically focusing on NHP islet and kidney transplantation models. Applications for single institutions and consortia are welcome, with a closing date of Dec 14, 2011.

Description::	The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invite new or renewal applications from single institutions and consortia of institutions to participate in the islet and kidney models portion of the Nonhuman Primate Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (NHPCSG) program. The NHPCSG is a multi-center, cooperative program for research on nonhuman primate (NHP) models of kidney, islet, heart, and lung transplantation. The goals of the NHPCSG are to evaluate the preclinical safety and efficacy of existing and newly developed immune tolerance induction regimens and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the induction, maintenance, and/or loss of tolerance in these models. The long-range goal of this program is to develop and evaluate tolerance induction regimens that will result in enhanced long-term graft survival in clinical transplantation. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for the NHP islet and kidney transplantation models portion of the NHPCSG program.
