Nociceptive GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Projects (nGUDMAP) (U01)

archived

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to seek applications for Research Projects and Atlas Assembly Projects that will build a murine molecular anatomy atlas of the nociceptors (pain receptors) and associated cell types in pain processing of the urinary tract and the pelvic region. It is anticipated that the detailed description of the developmental origins, and the anatomical and biochemical heterogeneity of the murine nociceptors (pain receptors) and associated cells, will lay a foundation to support the long-term goal of developing new therapies for urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS), traditionally referred to as Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome (IC/PBS) and Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS). The successful applications for this FOA will be considered part of the continuing GUDMAP effort supported by RFA-DK-11-001 and RFA-DK-10-005.
