The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a funding opportunity titled "Limited Competition: Promoting a Basic Understanding of Chemical Threats to Skin," aimed at advancing research on skin injuries caused by chemical threats, particularly for the civilian population. This initiative seeks to explore the mechanisms of injuries from various vesicants, such as sulfur mustard and Lewisite, to identify potential therapeutic targets for countermeasures, with a focus on supporting new investigators not currently funded by the NIH’s Chemical Countermeasures Research Program. The program offers up to $2.5 million in total funding for approximately eight awards, with individual grants providing up to $225,000 in direct costs per year for a maximum of three years. Interested applicants must adhere to NIH's submission guidelines and include a data management plan, with applications due by September 7, 2024. For further information, applicants can contact the NIH OER Webmaster at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visit the funding announcement page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAS-21-245.html.
