Historical Data

For the most current NINDS funding announcements, please see the NINDS list of Active Funding Initiatives or Follow Us on Twitter for the latest funding news.

NINDS and NCI request applications for multidisciplinary research centers focused on the microenvironment. These centers will form the NCI Tumor Microenvironment Network (TMEN).

The main objective of this initiative is to delineate mechanisms of tumor-stroma interactions in human cancer. Such an effort is likely to generate a more comprehensive understanding of the composition(s) of the stroma in normal tissues as well as of the role(s) of the stroma in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis and in responses to treatment. TMEN research centers are designed to pursue defined, individual research programs as well as engage in cross-network activities and joint projects with other TMEN teams.
