This opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks pilot research projects focused on understudied proteins related to rare diseases. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or commercial vendors are named, as this is a research grant opportunity - Products/Services Requested: - Research services to generate preliminary data and tools for understudied proteins in druggable protein families associated with rare diseases - Maximum award amount: $100,000 - No clinical trials permitted; focus is on basic biochemical and biological characterization - Unique or Notable Requirements: - Open to a wide range of applicants: state/local governments, tribal organizations, nonprofits, educational institutions, and businesses - Foreign organizations are not eligible, but foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed - Emphasis on generating foundational research data and tools, not on clinical applications

Description

This funding opportunity solicits applications for pilot projects aimed at elucidating the role of understudied proteins in rare diseases. The awards support the generation of preliminary data and/or tools related to eligible understudied proteins that are members of druggable protein families associated with rare diseases. The goal is to jumpstart research on these proteins by providing funding for basic biochemical and biological characterization work within the context of rare diseases. Eligible applicants include a wide range of government, nonprofit, educational, and business entities. The maximum award amount is $100,000.
