CCRP Initiative: Promoting a Basic Understanding of Chemical Threats to Skin (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
CCRP Initiative: Promoting a Basic Understanding of Chemical Threats to Skin (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a funding call from National Institutes of Health (NIAMS, NIAID, NIDA) that closes 05 November 2026. Funding: Up to $300,000 per year direct costs, for up to 5 years (Grants.gov lists about 5 expected awards). Eligibility: US organisations only: US universities and colleges, non-profits, for-profit companies (incl. small businesses), state/local/tribal governments, US federal agencies and other eligible US institutions apply on behalf of their PI(s); non-US (foreign) organisations and non-US components of US organisations are not eligible (foreign components are allowed, foreign subawards are not). Any individual with the skills and resources can lead as PD/PI; no career-stage limit. This is a biomedical/toxicology call (basic research on how toxic chemicals of concern injure skin, R01, clinical trials not allowed) — a good fit for chemists who team up with skin biologists or toxicologists on chemical-injury mechanisms. Budgets up to $300,000 per year in direct costs, for up to 5 years.

Eligibility in plain language
US organisations only: US universities and colleges, non-profits, for-profit companies (incl. small businesses), state/local/tribal governments, US federal agencies and other eligible US institutions apply on behalf of their PI(s); non-US (foreign) organisations and non-US components of US organisations are not eligible (foreign components are allowed, foreign subawards are not). Any individual with the skills and resources can lead as PD/PI; no career-stage limit. This is a biomedical/toxicology call (basic research on how toxic chemicals of concern injure skin, R01, clinical trials not allowed) — a good fit for chemists who team up with skin biologists or toxicologists on chemical-injury mechanisms. Budgets up to $300,000 per year in direct costs, for up to 5 years.
Who should apply
Chemists, toxicologists and skin biologists studying how toxic chemicals injure skin — best fit for PIs at US institutions, ideally in a chemistry–biomedical collaboration.
Summary from source
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit basic research applications to investigate the pathological mechanisms of skin injuries caused by toxic Chemicals of Concern (CoC) identified as public health threats by the United States Government. This NOFO supports the goal of the trans-NIH Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP) and is intended to spur the discovery and early development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures (MCMs) to advance the nation's medical and public health preparedness for, response to, and recovery from high consequence chemical disasters and emergencies.
