Mechanisms Mediating Osteoarthritis in Aging (R21)

Funding Opportunity PA-16-240 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications intended to encourage Exploratory/Developmental applications to accelerate the characterization of new paradigms to test hypotheses that will lead to an improved understanding of the mechanisms of initiation and progression of osteoarthritis and the role of aging in the process. The NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant supports exploratory and developmental research projects by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of these projects. These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on the field of study.
