The Deep South Network for Translational Research (DSNTR) was formed in 2010 to establish a sustainable research infrastructure in the Deep South. Funding from an NIH supplement has allowed for the support of multi-institutional pilot projects. To date, two projects have been funded:
- Minolfa Prieto, MD, PhD (Tulane) and Edgar Jaimes, MD (UAB)
Relevance of Urinary Renin, Prorenin, and TGF-beta in Patients with Diabetes and Hypertension: Impact of Gender
- Joao de Andrade, MD (UAB) and Joseph Lasky, MD (Tulane)
RNA Splicing Variants in Lung Fibrogenesis
The current RFA is seeking human-based T1 translational research proposals for its collaborative Core Facilities Pilot Program. Proposals that involve community-based research or a community-based component to help ameliorate health disparities are preferred. Institutional partnerships are required. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, July 31st.
