harvard-university

Harvard University has received a $50 million gift from businessman and alumnus Len Blavatnik to support a major initiative aimed at bridging the โ€œvalley of deathโ€ โ€” the gap between basic biomedical research and the emergence of new therapies for patients.

The gift from the Blavatnik Family Foundation, slated to be announced Monday, is one of the largest individual gifts to the university in recent years.

Funding Opportunity Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to advance our knowledge in the area of the physics and mechanics of embryonic development. Applicants must propose hypothesis-driven developmental research with the prospect of gaining new and critical information about tissue mechanics relevant to vertebrate development and understanding the basis for developmental disorders. Investigators are encouraged to explore approaches and concepts new to the area of developmental tissue mechanics, and use newly developed techniques superior to the ones currently used in the field. It should be noted that applications using the NIH R01 grant mechanism will require sufficient preliminary data to substantiate the validity of the proposed research and feasibility of new technologies or tools.

Eligible Applicants Small businesses
Agency Name: HHS-NIH11
Closing Date: Mar 25, 2016
Award Ceiling:
Expected Number of Awards:
Creation Date: Apr 19, 2013
Funding Opportunity Description: This FOA invites applications to develop sensitive technologies or methods for obtaining high quality and comprehensive nucleic acids-based genomic data from limited quantities of human specimens that are easy to collect, handle, and store. Applications that address all of the steps from the collection of specimens, through storage and nucleic acids extraction, to obtaining genomic data will be considered as having highest priority to this FOA. The ease of proposed sample collection methods should be at least comparable to that of the current dried blood spot collection method. The developed technologies or methods should be applicable to clinical point-of-care testing in terms of speed and ease, and ultimately have the potential to be scalable to high throughput settings, while maintaining cost effectiveness. The genomic data obtained must be at least equivalent to that which can be obtained from fresh whole blood in terms of quality and comprehensiveness. It is expected that the research conducted under this FOA will enhance the availability of comprehensive nucleic acids-based genomic data for various clinical and research applications in need of obtaining genomic data from easy-to-collect and handle human specimens.
