About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking grant applications for the Development of Animal Models and Related Biological Materials for Down Syndrome Research (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). The funding opportunity is part of the INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE (INCLUDE) Project and aims to support exploratory and innovative research to develop, characterize, or improve animal models and related biological materials for Down syndrome research. Key focus areas include various animal models, genetic resources, single cell/subcellular atlases, advanced informatics technologies (AI/ML), and integration of multiple animal models. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations such as higher education institutions, tribal governments, nonprofits, small businesses, and government entities. The opportunity is posted with a due date of January 7, 2026.

Recent federal grant awards under related programs have ranged from smaller exploratory grants around $100,000 to larger multi-year projects exceeding $14 million. The research activities are expected to be conducted at the facilities of the recipient organizations across the United States.

Synopsis

The INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE (INCLUDE) Project encourages exploratory and innovative research to develop, characterize, or improve animal models and related biological materials for Down syndrome (DS) related research and to improve access to information about or from the use of animal models for DS research. The animal models and related biological materials developed must have utility in targeted or basic science studies in areas highly relevant to DS. With this funding opportunity announcement, the INCLUDE Project encourages, but is not limited to, projects focusing on development of various animal models, genetic resources, atlases at a single cell or subcellular level, advanced informatics technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML), and integration of multiple animal models and technology platforms for enhancing rigor and reproducibility of preclinical DS research.
