Issued by
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/)

Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to update NOT-HL-08-113 and advise investigators who plan to submit applications under the parent FOA (PA-09-164) for the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) award mechanism that the NHLBI does not accept the assignment of applications which focus primarily on cancer.  There are some areas of overlapping interest, e.g., basic aspects of lung malignancies intersecting with the pathogenesis of various lung disorders, or the use of lung cancer therapies that may impact on other lung diseases, hematological malignancies resulting from disruptions in hematopoiesis, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic disorders, or the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and other cellular therapies. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the NHLBI before submitting an application in response to this FOA.
