Utilizing Equipment to Study Environmental Extrinsic Factors and Enhance Rigor and Reproducibility of Animal Research (R24, Clinical Trials Not-Allowed)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is inviting grant applications to study environmental extrinsic factors in animal research, aiming to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of such studies. The grant will support the acquisition or update of modern equipment for measuring and monitoring environmental, biological, or biobehavioral variables. The research area should be broadly applicable to the scientific interests of two or more NIH Institutes or Centers and evaluate biological processes impacting multiple organ systems. • The grant is for equipment to study environmental extrinsic factors in animal research. • The research should be applicable to the interests of at least two NIH Institutes or Centers. • The equipment must be capable of recording and reporting multiple parameters simultaneously. • The grant does not allow clinical trials. • Eligible applicants include various organizations such as institutions of higher education, non-profits, and government agencies, but non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant.
