Description: The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network conducts multi-center studies of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) commonly known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). The goal of the MAPP Network is to provide new insights into underlying etiology, natural history, and risk factors in order to provide a translational foundation to facilitate future clinical intervention efforts and improve clinical management for the syndromes. The MAPP Research Network is currently comprised of six Discovery Sites, a Data Coordination Core (DCC), and a Tissue and Technology Core (TATC). In the second project period, the MAPP Research Network will continue analyses of clinical data and assays of biological samples collected in the first project period and develop and implement a second phase of collaborative protocols. Another goal will be to generate a resource of clinical data and biological samples for sharing with the community in support of future studies designed to further advance discovery in this area. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from the current MAPP Discovery and Core Sites for a second five year project period through a Limited Competition.
