Clinical Utility of Extracellular RNA for Biomarker Development (UH2/UH3)
The NIH invites applications for projects that will identify and qualify extracellular RNA (exRNA)-based biomarkers derived from human body fluids, such as blood, saliva, urine, breast milk, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites and pleural effusions, in order to diagnose and monitor disease progression and response to therapy. The overall goal of this project is to develop reliable, well-defined and clinically relevant biomarkers derived from extracellular RNA that measure tangible benefits for patients in terms of how they feel, function, and survive in clinical trials. Appropriate studies under this FOA will identify and validate candidate exRNA-based biomarkers in well-defined patient populations, provide new technologies to monitor biomarkers or establish reliable assays for validated markers
