This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Centers for Collaborative Research in Fragile X and FMR1-Associated Conditions (hereafter termed "Fragile X Centers").

In recognition of the rapidly evolving landscape of FMR1-associated research, NIH recently published a new Strategic Plan for Research on FMR1-Associated Conditions.  This Strategic Plan, which was developed in collaboration with many members of the Fragile X community, articulates NIH’s current research priorities, which are directed toward an overarching vision of accelerating the development of effective interventions to prevent or treat FMR1-associated conditions. Successful Fragile X Centers will be composed of multidisciplinary teams of basic, translational and clinical investigators collaborating to address complex, difficult-to-solve problems within specific research priorities identified in the Strategic Plan.
