The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to establish Comprehensive NAMs Technology Development Centers to support NIH Common Funds Complement Animal Research In Experimentation (Complement-ARIE) program. The Complement-ARIE program will accelerate the development, standardization, validation, and use of human-based New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Complement-ARIE will significantly advance understanding of human health and disease by providing a range of mature and/or validated and standardized biomedical research models.The goal of the Comprehensive NAMs Technology Development Centers is to stimulate the development of combinatorial NAMs to support scientific areas of need, with emphasis on increased biological complexity and throughput, innovative combinatorial approaches, and data sharing according to FAIR principles. Developing these NAMs will require multi-disciplinary expertise in disease research, personalized medicine, screening therapeutics for safety and efficacy, and regulatory science.
