Blueprint for Neuroscience Research: Neuroimmune Interactions

Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Title: RFA-AA-18-07: NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research: Dynamic Neuroimmune Interactions in the Transition from Normal CNS Function to Disorders (R01)

The goal of this NOFO is to transform our understanding of how dynamic interactions among multiple cell types involved in neuroimmune interactions (e.g., neurons, glia cells, neurovascular units, or other neuroimmune components) mediate the transition from normal central nervous system (CNS) function to disorder conditions. The NOFO encourages projects combining diverse expertise and innovative approaches to address these questions at the molecular, cellular, and circuitry levels. Eight funded projects investigate the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, neuropathic pain, alcohol-related disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The outcomes of these studies provide an integrated view of the dynamics of multiple neuroimmune components and their contributions to the onset and progression of CNS disorders.
