NIAMS Skin Biology and Diseases Resource-based Centers (P30 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Limited Submissions

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases requests applications for the NIAMS Resource-based Centers Program (P30) to provide critical research infrastructure, shared facilities, services, and resources to groups of investigators conducting research on skin biology and diseases with the broad overall goal of accelerating, enriching, and enhancing the effectiveness of ongoing basic, translational, and clinical research and promoting new research on skin biology and/or diseases within the NIAMS mission.

The NIAMS uses a number of centers grant mechanisms to support research that require synergistic, integrated groups of investigators, significant infrastructure, and/or technological innovations. NIAMS convened a Centers Evaluation Working Group (CEWG) to advise the Institute as to how the Centers programs could be more responsive and supportive to current research needs and opportunities. The CEWG concluded that NIAMS should allow flexibility and dynamism in the design, structure, and conduct of its Centers, to accommodate the variable needs of NIAMS research areas that differ with respect to investigator community, resource availability, and knowledge depth and breadth (see NIAMS Centers Evaluation Working Group Report; https://www.niams.nih.gov/niams-centers-evaluation-working-group-report). The CEWG recommended that the "NIAMS Centers should prioritize improving access to resources, using as review criteria i) the importance of the resource and ii) the potential impact of providing access to that resource".

NIAMS expects that the Resource-based Centers Program will:

  • Efficiently provide critical research infrastructure to advance fields within the NIAMS mission
  • Include Cores that offer resources and services in addition to equipment and other infrastructure
  • Contribute or facilitate significant innovations in research and technology
  • Facilitate expansion of research fields within the NIAMS mission
  • Foster innovative exploratory projects and junior investigators
  • Have flexibility to adopt and adapt to emerging needs and opportunities
