Description
The NIH Common Fund, National Institute on Aging, National Cancer Institute, and additional NIH Institutes and Centers intend to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Stage 2 of the Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) Program. The program aims to understand the biological consequences of senescent cell heterogeneity in health and disease and to develop innovative tools and technologies for identifying, characterizing, and targeting senescent cells in vivo. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO will use the UG3/UH3 activity code and encourages investigators with expertise in cellular senescence and related technologies to apply when the opportunity opens.
