| Description: | Purpose. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) are interested in supporting additional career development and mentoring opportunities in muscular dystrophy research. NIAMS and NICHD will provide career development awards to promising clinically trained applicants with the potential to become productive, independent investigators in basic, translational, and clinical research on the muscular dystropies. This FOA is issued in recognition of the urgent need for highly skilled, interactive investigators who are able to integrate various disciplines and levels of expertise to successfully address the increasing challenges in the current research environment of the muscular dystrophies. This FOA calls for applications for mentored career development awards for clinical scientist engaged in laboratory research. It is expected that this career development program will increase the number of investigators in basic, translational, and clinical research on muscular dystrophy, and will also increase the quality of their research and training. Diseases for this program announcement include, but are not limited to, Duchenne, myotonic, facioscapulohumeral, and congenital muscular dystrophies. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the K08 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-11-075 , PA-11-076 and PA-11-078 , that encourage applications under the F32, K23, and K99 mechanisms. |
