Grant Description

Purpose. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites Research Project Grant applications that propose basic physiological, cellular and molecular investigations to elucidate the mechanisms that lead to conduit artery stiffening in the context of hypertension and explore the temporal relationship between arterial stiffening and the development of hypertension in animal models. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Include a statement about the total amount to be awarded and the anticipated number of awards. The NHLBI intends to commit approximately $4 million in total costs in FY2010, and up to $16 million over four years, to fund up to 10 grants under this FOA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
