Subject Areas: |
Biomedical Research (multidisciplinary), Obstetrics or Gynecology, Neonatal Disorders, Preterm Delivery, Microbiology, Biomarkers, Immunology, Pediatrics, Proteomics, Genetics, Genomics, Reproductive Science, Parturition, Peri-Implantational Events, Fetal Determinants, Fetal-Maternal Immune Responses, Biological Basis for Racial-Ethnic Disparities |

Description: |
This Initiative was created to increase the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying parturition and spontaneous preterm birth. The initiative is designed to bring together a diverse interdisciplinary group with expertise in genetics/genomics, immunology, microbiology and proteomics along with the more traditional areas of parturition research such as maternal fetal medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics to address scientific issues related to preterm birth.
Proposals should address the biomedical causes and mechanisms underlying (preterm) parturition including but not limited to peri-implantational events, placention, fetal determinants, fetal-maternal immune responses, biological basis for racial-ethnic disparities, mechanisms relating preterm birth to other adverse pregnancy outcomes, biology of normal labor, etc. Proposals seeking to identify biomarkers predicting preterm birth are welcome.
Proposals must have an interdisciplinary approach. |

Application Details: |
Preterm Birth Initiative is designed to bring together a diverse interdisciplinary group with expertise in genetics/genomics, immunology, microbiology, and proteomics along with the more traditional areas of parturition research such as maternal fetal medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics to address the scientific issues related to preterm birth. The formation of new connections between reproductive scientists and investigators who are involved in other areas will give preterm birth research a fresh and unique look. Proposals must be submitted from degree-granting institutions in the United States or Canada. The principal investigator must have a faculty appointment at a degree-granting institution in the U.S. or Canada. The principal investigator must be a citizen or permament resident of the U.S. or Canada.
Submission is done through the Sponsor's webportal system.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT LEVIED ON THIS PROGRAM. |
|
NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission. |
