This funding supports National Biomedical Research Centers that provide scientific expertise, advanced equipment, and research models nationwide. The focus is on developing innovative human-based models and technologies to reduce reliance on live animal models, emphasizing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) such as sophisticated in vitro and in silico models. Clinical trials are permitted only if they involve human-based NAMs. The opportunity aims to enhance innovation and translational research at centers with existing nonhuman primate colonies.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, tribal governments, and other specified organizations including foreign institutions. Specific eligibility details are provided in the announcement.
