The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is forecasting a funding opportunity for the establishment of a Somatic Cell Genome Editing Translational Coordination and Dissemination Center (TCDC) as part of its Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) program. This initiative aims to accelerate the development of genome editing therapeutic agents by facilitating Investigational New Drug (IND) application enabling studies, establishing regulatory approval pathways, and disseminating successful strategies for initiating first-in-human clinical trials. The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $2,000,000, with one award expected to be made, and the application due dates are anticipated in Summer 2022, following the publication of the Funding Opportunity Announcement in Spring 2022. Interested applicants can reach out to Dr. Marrah Lachowicz-Scroggins at 301-827-8229 or via email at SCGEprogram@od.nih.gov for further information.
