Contractor having the capabilities and facilities to establish, coordinate and

goals of this Collaborative Network are to:  (1) design a long-term research

of multiple immune system diseases, including autoimmune diseases, asthma and
allergic diseases, and graft rejection on solid organ, cell and tissue
transplantation.  Specifically, the Contractor shall design and conduct clinical
trials at all phases to evaluate the safety, toxicity and efficacy of promising
tolerance induction strategies in these disease areas, and design and conduct
studies of the underlying mechanisms involved in the induction, maintenance and
loss of tolerance as an integral part of Network-sponsored clinical trials, as
well as clinical trials supported by other Federal and private organizations and
companies.
