Grant Description

The NIH invites applications for projects to determine the principles that guide the selection of regulatory RNA molecules for extracellular transport and to determine the function of these extracellular RNAs (exRNAs). The main scientific areas of interest include (1) exRNA biogenesis, (2) exRNA biodistribution, (3) uptake of exRNA by target cells, and (4) the physiological impact of delivered exRNA in target cells and tissues. Enabling tools, technologies, bioreagents, and innovative analytical approaches will likely be required to achieve the research goals. Therefore, awards funded under this FOA are anticipated to involve research conducted by multidisciplinary teams of investigators and focus on the role of exRNA communication in health and disease.
