The NIH’s U19 grant focuses on studying the principles guiding extracellular RNA selection for transport and understanding the functions of these exRNAs. The grant supports research in exRNA biogenesis, biodistribution, uptake by target cells, and the physiological impact of exRNA delivery. Multidisciplinary teams using innovative tools and technologies to investigate exRNA communication in health and disease are encouraged to apply. The closing date for applications is November 13, 2012.

| Agency Name:: | National Institutes of Health |
| Description:: | The NIH invites applications for projects to determine the principles that guide the selection of regulatory RNA molecules for extracellular transport and to determine the function of these extracellular RNAs (exRNAs). The main scientific areas of interest include (1) exRNA biogenesis, (2) exRNA biodistribution, (3) uptake of exRNA by target cells, and (4) the physiological impact of delivered exRNA in target cells and tissues. Enabling tools, technologies, bioreagents, and innovative analytical approaches will likely be required to achieve the research goals. Therefore, awards funded under this FOA are anticipated to involve research conducted by multidisciplinary teams of investigators and focus on the role of exRNA communication in health and disease. |
