Description:
The P20 mechanism is used to support planning for new programs, expansion or modification of existing resources, and feasibility studies to explore various approaches to the development of interdisciplinary programs that offer potential solutions to problems of special significance to the mission of the NIH. This P20 may lead to center sustainability and/or the ability to be funded through other specialized or comprehensive grants. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to build P20 Centers in the self-management of symptoms and build research teams for the future. The purpose of NINR P20 Centers is to plan and build new research teams in interdisciplinary, biobehavioral research for scientists conducting self-management of symptoms.  In addition these P20 Centers seek to plan and build new research infrastructures and centralized resources in support of self-management of symptoms research.
