Description: The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support projects that will generate reference profiles of both short and long non-coding regulatory extracellular RNAs (exRNA), including any environmentally-derived exRNA (e.g. from diet, microbiome), from a diversity of healthy human body fluids including blood, saliva, urine, breast milk, semen, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites and pleural effusions. Studies using existing human biospecimen collections are strongly encouraged. This FOA is only for studies related to human samples; animal or other non-human disease model studies are not responsive to this FOA.
