OpportunityTitle: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Arterial Stiffening and Its Relationship to Development of Hypertension (R01)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: Purpose. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites Research Project Grant applications that propose basic physiological, cellular and molecular investigations to elucidate the mechanisms that lead to conduit artery stiffening in the context of hypertension and explore the temporal relationship between arterial stiffening and the development of hypertension in animal models. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Include a statement about the total amount to be awarded and the anticipated number of awards. The NHLBI intends to commit approximately $4 million in total costs in FY2010, and up to $16 million over four years, to fund up to 10 grants under this FOA.
