The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) offers this grant to establish the Lung Repair and Regeneration Consortium (LRRC). This initiative aims to unite diverse investigators, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative strategies to accelerate research in lung regeneration and repair. The consortium will foster highly interactive, multidisciplinary teams to explore novel hypotheses on mechanisms controlling adaptive and maladaptive lung repair after injury, validating their relevance in humans. Applicants are expected to develop two or more new research tools, such as reagents, models, or imaging techniques, to advance the field. This grant encourages collaborations across disciplines including stem cell biology, pulmonary medicine, bioengineering, and genomics, ultimately moving toward new therapies for human lung diseases.

| Description: | The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applicants to participate in the Lung Repair and Regeneration Consortium (LRRC). The goal of the Consortium is to bring together multidisciplinary teams of investigators, cutting edge technologies, innovative strategies, and new ideas to catalyze research on lung regeneration and repair. The Consortium will contain collaborative research support and skills development components to be administered after the Consortium is assembled. The purpose of this FOA is to attract new expertise into multidisciplinary teams to investigate novel hypotheses relevant to lung repair/regeneration and to develop a highly interactive and synergistic Consortium of investigators who will share ideas, data, and resources to move the field of lung regeneration forward toward development of new therapies for human diseases. This FOA solicits Research Project Cooperative Agreement (U01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose (1) to apply novel technologies to test innovative hypotheses of mechanisms that control adaptive and maladaptive lung repair/regeneration after injury and include studies to validate these mechanisms are relevant in humans; and (2) to develop two or more novel tools (e.g., reagents, models, imaging, and/or data analysis tools) that would accelerate research progress in lung regeneration. Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the multiple Principal Investigator mechanism to organize multidisciplinary teams that must include new collaborations and expertise in two or more of the following disciplines: developmental biology, stem cell biology, pulmonary medicine, lung injury, physiology, genomics, tissue or bioengineering, nanotechnology, and integrative, systems approaches. |
