Application of Metabolomics for Translational and Biological Research (R01)

-Purpose. Metabolomics enables simultaneous identification and analysis of multiple metabolites in cells, tissues and body fluids. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is an initiative sponsored by several NIH institutes to promote the application of metabolomic technologies for translational research in human health and disease to enable/improve disease detection, diagnosis, risk assessment, prognosis, and prediction of therapeutic responses. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-302 that solicits applications under the R21 mechanism for pilot/exploratory projects. -Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
