Advancing Erythroid Cell Biology (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Advancing Erythroid Cell Biology (R01) opportunity (PA-16-039) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant announcement that supports investigator-initiated, hypothesis-driven studies focused on erythroid cells and the process of erythropoiesis, meaning the development and maturation of red blood cells. The central purpose is to push the field toward a more complete, integrated understanding of the molecular and cellular machinery that produces normal red blood cell formation, with the broader clinical motivation of improving how anemia is measured, understood, and ultimately treated.

Research proposed under this FOA is expected to dig into the core components that define erythroid biology across development and differentiation. It specifically highlights multi-layer "omics" and mechanistic work that clarifies how erythropoiesis is controlled and executed. This includes the erythroid transcriptome (which genes are turned on and off at particular stages or in particular erythroid populations), the erythroid epigenome (chemical modifications to DNA and histone proteins that influence gene regulation and cell fate decisions), and the erythroid proteome (which proteins are produced, how they are modified after translation, and where they localize within the cell). The emphasis is not just on cataloging these components, but on explaining how they function together to produce normal erythroid maturation and physiology.

A longer-range objective of the program is to help build a coherent, streamlined description of erythropoiesis that ties together genetics, molecular processes, and cytokine-driven determinants within erythroid lineages. In practical terms, NIH is looking for projects that can connect regulatory mechanisms (such as gene networks and epigenetic control points) with signaling inputs and cellular outputs in a way that clarifies why erythropoiesis succeeds in healthy settings and fails in disease. By supporting that kind of unifying framework, the program aims to lay groundwork for therapeutics and diagnostic approaches that can better address anemia, whether by identifying new targets, improving biomarkers, or revealing key stages where interventions could restore normal red blood cell production.

This is an R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for substantial, independent research projects where the applicant proposes the scientific direction and experimental plan. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under health-related funding activity categories (CFDA 93.839 and 93.847). Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based entities such as state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; federally recognized tribal governments and other eligible tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other applicants as allowed by NIH policy and any additional eligibility clarifications referenced in the full announcement. The sponsoring agency is within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health.

Key administrative details in the posted record include a creation and posting date of November 20, 2015, and a listed closing date of January 7, 2019 (with the same date shown as both original and current in the provided source information). The listing does not provide an award ceiling or an expected number of awards in the fields shown, so those specifics would typically be determined by NIH institute budgets, application volume, and scientific merit, and may be clarified in the full FOA text or related NIH notices.
