HHS-CDC-HHSCDCERA Forecasted RFA-OH-26-015Description
The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program supports exploratory and developmental research projects (R21) that address issues related to diagnostic or treatment uncertainty with respect to individuals receiving monitoring and/or treatment under subtitle C of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 as amended. This WTC Health Program R21 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is intended to encourage exploratory/developmental research by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of project development which assess the feasibility of new areas of investigation with the potential to enhance treatment effectiveness and diagnostic practices. These studies may lead to breakthroughs in a particular area, or to the development of new interventions, techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or approaches with major clinical impacts. These studies are expected to break new ground or extend prior discoveries toward new directions or uses. Applicants are expected to propose research for which there is likely to be minimal or no preliminary data.
