This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), invites applications for Centers of Research Translation (CORT) (P50). It is expected that a CORT will have a disease-targeted translational theme with individual projects providing synergy for the theme, directed at elucidating the relevance of basic research to human disease in an area within the NIAMS mission. Two major features of the CORT program include: 1) the overarching aim of disease-specific research translation, and 2) the inclusion of resources and an administrative structure to facilitate research translation.
