Grant Description

Purpose. This FOA issued by ODS, NCCAM, and NCI, National Institutes of Health solicits pre-applications for Botanical Research Center applications in response to RFA-OD-09-001 (Dietary Supplements Research Centers: Botanicals - P50). These pre-applications will be submitted by institutions/organizations that propose to conduct collaborative interdisciplinary research on botanicals, particularly those that are relevant to dietary supplements. Basic and preclinical research with potential application to health maintenance and/or primary prevention of disease is encouraged as the main area of emphasis. The initiative is intended to advance the spectrum of botanical research activities but is not supportive of drug discovery. Pre-applications are a necessary first step in applying for a Botanical Research Center award (see RFA-OD-09-001). Pre-applications will be evaluated by a group of external reviewers. Those investigators whose submissions are judged to be the most outstanding will be notified of the opportunity to submit full (P50) applications under RFA-OD-09-001. All applicants for the RFA-OD-09-001 P50 must submit an X02 application. This includes new applicants and applicants with currently funded Centers.
