Funding Opportunity: PAR-23-036 Secondary Analysis of Existing Datasets in Heart, Lung, and Blood Diseases and Sleep Disorders (R21)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages R21 applications that propose to conduct secondary analyses using existing human datasets in areas relevant to the National Heart, Lung, Blood Diseases and Sleep Disorders Institute (NHLBI) scientific mission. The FOA aims to stimulate the use of existing human datasets to investigate novel scientific ideas, and/or generate new models, systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. Generation of new primary data is not allowed.
