animal models and related materials to be developed must address the research interests of two or more of the categorical NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs).
Applications to develop models that relate strictly to a specific disease or category of research will not be considered acceptable.
Projects that predominantly address the research interests of one NIH Institute or Center but are peripherally related to the research interests of other Institutes and Centers will not be considered appropriate for this FOA.
