This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support the development of collaborative research projects to establish a set of complementary model systems that reproduce essential disease-defining features of human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The purpose of this initiative is to unify a series of projects encompassing multiple complementary model systems that each effectively reproduces essential disease features of human IPF. This FOA encourages applications to develop research models that will advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of IPF from its onset through disease progression and serve as a resource for the broader research community including investigators testing novel therapies to treat this disease.
