Description

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), in conjunction with other NIH Institutes and Centers, plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to advance the Restoring Joint Health and Function to Reduce Pain (RE-JOIN) Consortium. The NOFO aims to refine and map the innervation of joint tissues by sensory neurons mediating pain and expand efforts including clinical pain phenotyping, preclinical modeling, testing novel joint-targeted candidates, and improving data integration through joint atlases. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows potential applicants time to prepare multidisciplinary collaborations and projects. Expertise in neurobiology, pain science, data science, orthopedics, and rheumatic disease is encouraged for future applications.
