Summary

NIH Common Fund SenNet Stage 2 Discovery and Validation Centers will define, refine, and validate cellular senescence signatures (senotypes) and biomarkers in human health and disease, generating molecular, cellular, and spatial datasets. Open to universities, nonprofits, small and other for-profit businesses, governments, tribes, and other organizations; clinical trials not allowed.

About this grant

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support SenNet Discovery and Validation Centers (SenNet DVCs) as a core component of Stage 2 of the NIH Common Fund Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet). Building on Stage 1 resources, DVCs will define, refine, and validate tissue- and disease-relevant cellular senescence signatures (“senotypes”) and associated biomarkers, and will investigate their functional consequences in human health and disease. DVCs are expected to generate and contribute high-quality molecular, cellular, and spatial datasets (including relevant metadata and documentation) and to use complementary experimental systems, as appropriate, to validate senotypes/biomarkers and characterize responses to senescence-associated perturbations or senotherapeutic approaches. DVC applications should also propose goals and aims for SenNet consortium-wide organizational and outreach activities (SenNet OOC functions).
