The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $732,272 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to Indiana University Indianapolis (IU Indianapolis). The grant will support the establishment of the ICMH Resource Cores (ICMH-RC) to promote advancements in musculoskeletal research through understanding muscle/bone interactions, mechanobiology, and the broader roles of the musculoskeletal system. The ICMH-RC will comprise an Administrative/Enhancement Core, a Histology and Histomorphometry Core, a Systems Biology and Multi-Omics Core, and a Mechanobiology/3D Bioprinting Core. These core facilities will provide critical services and cutting-edge technologies to support individual investigators and research teams studying musculoskeletal diseases and disorders. The grant aims to drive translational research by interfacing with the clinical cores of the ICMH Clinical Research Center to facilitate the transfer of discoveries to clinical applications. The award period runs from September 2, 2024, through July 31, 2029.
