Description
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit basic research applications to investigate the pathological mechanisms of skin injuries caused by toxic Chemicals of Concern (CoC) identified as public health threats by the United States Government. This NOFO supports the goal of the trans-NIH Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP) and is intended to spur the discovery and early development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures (MCMs) to advance the nation's medical and public health preparedness for, response to, and recovery from high consequence chemical disasters and emergencies.
Eligibility
Refer to Section III. Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibility.Foreign Organizations/International Collaborations:Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed.
