Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking to advance its mission through the continued support of the Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers (AADCRC) program. The program aims to investigate mechanisms underlying the onset, progression, treatment modalities, and mechanisms of treatment response for diseases including asthma, upper airway allergic/inflammatory diseases, food and drug allergies, atopic dermatitis, and other allergic diseases. The AADCRC program is designed to promote multi-center, multidisciplinary, translational research in asthma and allergic diseases. • The program will support research in diseases including asthma, upper airway allergic/inflammatory diseases, food and drug allergies, atopic dermatitis, and other allergic diseases. • The program aims to investigate mechanisms underlying the onset, progression, treatment modalities, and mechanisms of treatment response for the diseases of interest. • The AADCRC program is the only NIAID program that is designed to promote multi-center, multidisciplinary, translational research in asthma and allergic diseases. • The program will provide funding for research projects that explore disease mechanisms and/or treatment modalities in small clinical trials/observational studies or immune pathway-focused projects using primarily human materials.
