Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers (U19)
RFA-AI-10-013

Program Summary

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites new or renewal applications from single institutions and consortia of institutions to participate in the Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers (AADCRC) program. The program will support centers that integrate clinical and basic research to conduct studies on the mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of asthma and allergic diseases including allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, atopic dermatitis and food allergy. The overarching goal of the program is to improve the understanding of the pathogenesis and diagnosis and treatment of asthma and allergic diseases, and to provide a rational foundation for the development of effective treatment and prevention strategies.

The total project period for an application submitted in response to this FOA may not exceed five years. Direct costs for each AADCRC award are expected to be approximately $1,000,000 per year.

An investigator can serve as a PI on only one AADCRC award or application.  This includes all PIs of a multiple-PI application. In addition, the PI of each AADCRC U19 application (and every PI of a multi-PI application) must also serve as a Project Leader, and is required to commit a minimum of 25% total level of effort in AADCRC activities.
 
UIC is restricted to one application.
