The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research is providing a grant opportunity for researchers to explore the identification and mechanisms specific to small blood and lymphatic vessels in the human central nervous system. This grant aims to support projects focusing on developing non-invasive imaging tools, investigating the role of these vessels in CNS health and disease, and exploring responses to therapy. Applicants can propose studies on technology development, target identification, biomarker validation, and mechanistic investigations related to human CNS small blood and lymphatic vessels throughout the lifespan. Deadline for applications is December 11, 2017.

| Description: | The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research is a collaborative framework through which 14 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices jointly support neuroscience-related research, with the aim of accelerating discoveries and reducing the burden of nervous system disorders. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will solicit research projects to facilitate the development and translation of tools and technology for non-invasive imaging and profiling of human central nervous system (CNS, including retina) small blood and lymphatic vessels; to investigate their role in CNS physiology, disease, repair processes, and responses to therapy using novel approaches. Applications can be focused on the development of new technology and tools, novel target or biomarker identification and validation studies, or a combination of mechanistic and technology development studies specific to human CNS small blood and lymphatic vessels in health and disease, across the life span. |
