The Centers also provide outstanding environments for the training of new researchers capable of addressing high priority objectives in muscular dystrophy research. Center investigators are expected to participate in important community outreach efforts to increase awareness of their research activities among people with lived experience and the related advocacy communities and to incorporate community perspectives into the conduct of patient-centered research. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in Spring 2024 with an expected application due date in Summer 2024. Only New and Renewal applications will be eligible. This NOFO will utilize the P50 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
