Purpose

The purpose of this notice is to correct the due date for NOT-TR-19-001 Notice of Availability of Administrative Supplements for Microphysiological Systems Developers: Development of Tissue Chips to Model Nociception, Opioid Addiction and Overdose.

Currently Reads:

Submitting an Application

Applicants should begin their applications by stating: “This application is being submitted in response to NOT-TR-19-001".

Through this Notice, NCATS will only consider submissions in which the Research Strategy does not exceed 6 pages and that include a summary or abstract of the funded parent award.

Projects should:

  • Appropriately model a nociception/addiction/overdose-relevant organ system to fit the objectives of the funding opportunity.
  • Utilize MPS that can be demonstrated to provide a better model than currently existing tissue models or other model systems.
  • Build up key resources and components for future development of better platforms to model pain-relevant pathways/outcomes, including the selection of appropriate cell sources from induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) sources or commercially available cell lines.
  • Include endpoints (molecular, electrophysiological, imaging, etc.) that can be demonstrated to correlate with clinical measures of nociception/addiction/overdose.
  • Adhere to milestones and an overall timeline to ensure completion of the project within the first phase of a parent biphasic grant or within the remaining timeframe of a monophasic grant.

Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time on October 26, 2019 and should be submitted per instructions in Part 2, Section IV. of "Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)" PA-18-591, with the following modifications:
