This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant applications that propose to develop collaborative research among investigators interested in examining the cross-talk between different components of the protein homeostasis system in aging. Collaborative projects should explore the interactions between protein misfolding, protein degradation, protein repair and/or ER stress, including the role of chaperones, in the aging process or in the development of age-related pathology and disease. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental R21 grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The National Institute on Aging intends to commit $1.5 million dollars in FY2008 to fund 7-9 applications in response to this FOA.
