Nonhuman Primate Islet/Kidney Transplantation Tolerance

RFA-AI-11-040 and RFA-AI-11-039

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invite new or renewal applications from single institutions and consortia of institutions to participate in the islet and kidney models portion of the Nonhuman Primate Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (NHPCSG) program. The NHPCSG is a multi-center, cooperative program for research on nonhuman primate (NHP) models of kidney, islet, heart, and lung transplantation. The goals of the NHPCSG are to evaluate the preclinical safety and efficacy of existing and newly developed immune tolerance induction regimens and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the induction, maintenance, and/or loss of tolerance in these models. The long-range goal of this program is to develop and evaluate tolerance induction regimens that will result in enhanced long-term graft survival in clinical transplantation. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for the NHP islet and kidney transplantation models portion of the NHPCSG program.
