Grant Description

The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for the Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas Hub (NURSA). The overriding goal of NURSA will be to significantly advance basic science findings to applications for human diseases and conditions for which nuclear receptors (NRs) play an integral role. The organization of NURSA will consist of a Hub that is collaborative in nature by providing the integration and cohesion needed to aggregate, annotate, and present in a user friendly fashion state-of-the-art data from a series of collaborative research projects. The Hub will support a public web portal (www.nursa.org) as part of a comprehensive approach to elucidating the role of NRs in normal physiology and disease. NURSA will assist in generating important new concepts and validated datasets that will provide the foundation for research leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the role of NRs in human physiology and metabolic disease.
