The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from single institutions or consortia of institutions to participate in the Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers (AADCRC) program. The program will support centers that integrate clinical and translational research to conduct studies on the mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of diseases of interest, including asthma, rhinitis (allergic and non-allergic), chronic rhinosinusitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, and drug allergy. The overarching goal of the program is to improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of these conditions and to provide a rational foundation for new, effective treatments and prevention strategies.
Only one application per institution is allowed.

Note that the current FOA will not allow foreign clinical trial sites. However, foreign components that will be allowed include mechanistic projects, observational studies, specialized assay, etc.
Application budgets are limited to $900,000 in direct costs per year and need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
