The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research offers a grant to support projects focusing on innovative technologies to study central nervous system (CNS) small blood and lymphatic vessels in health and disease. The grant aims to develop tools for imaging, profiling, and mapping these vessels, as well as to understand their heterogeneity, susceptibility to injury, and responses to therapies. Research involving in vitro and animal models, along with pilot human studies, is encouraged. The goal is to advance knowledge of CNS vascular systems and their impact on neurological disorders. Closing date 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 focused on the development of new technology and tools, or novel mechanistic studies, or a combination of mechanistic and technology development studies specific to central nervous system (CNS, which includes retina) small blood and lymphatic vessels in health and disease, across the life span. The program aims at facilitating the development of tools and technology to image, profile and map CNS small blood and lymphatic vessels. Additional goals are to elucidate the mechanisms underlying CNS small blood and lymphatic vessels structural and functional heterogeneity, differential susceptibility to injury, role in disease and repair processes, and their responses to therapies. Preclinical studies using in vitro and/or animal models specific to CNS small blood and lymphatic vessels alone or in combination with pilot human studies are appropriate for this FOA. |
