NICHD Grant for Stem Cells Differentiation and Integration into Developing or Damaged Tissues (R21)

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is offering this grant to support innovative research in stem cell biology, focusing on in vivo studies in model organisms. This grant aims to explore new approaches in understanding how stem cells can be integrated into developing or damaged tissues, with an emphasis on genetic and epigenetic changes. Researchers can investigate new technologies, concepts, and data development for future research in stem cell function within animal models and humans.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is intended to encourage innovative and high risk/impact research in the area of stem cell biology, to be explored in model organisms. The research proposed under this program can explore approaches and concepts new to this area; development of new technologies; or initial research and development of data upon which significant future research may be built. The primary focus of the FOA is to promote in vivo studies of stem cells in animal models and in humans (if applicable) to better understand how stem cells function within developing or damaged tissues. The areas of emphasis would include systematically profiling and cataloging changes at genetic and epigenetic levels that take place in stem cells and their microenvironment.
