Eligibility
Full Description
Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits grant applications for the continuation and expansion of the Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR). The Consortium will consist of a collaborative clinical research program to develop new approaches to treat and prevent IgE-mediated food allergy, including food allergy-associated anaphylaxis and food allergy-associated eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID). Within the context of these disorders, the goals of the program are to: (1) develop immune intervention strategies for prevention and treatment, (2) identify the mechanisms underlying the natural histories of these disorders, and (3) define the genetic components of these disorders.
The consortium may consist of both collaborative multi-project as well as individual research projects. In addition this FOA will provide support for one Statistical and Clinical Coordinating Center (SACCC) to support the clinical research. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U19 (multi-project) and U01 (single project) cooperative agreement award mechanisms.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding that NIAID and NIDDK expect to award through this announcement in FY10 is $5.25 million in total costs, which includes $3.65 million in total costs for one to three CoFAR U19 and/or U01 research awards and $1.6 million in total costs for one CoFAR SACCC U01 award.
