Bioprinted Tissue Constructs for Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Pediatric Applications (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications that will utilize 3D bioprinting technologies to develop tissue constructs for long-term use that will adapt to the needs of growing children, and for obstetric and gynecological conditions. The overall goal of this initiative is to promote the clinical translation of bioprinted tissue constructs by helping to identify and working to overcome current barriers to preclinical product development, validation and verification. This will ultimately enable evidence generation for regulatory approval and human testing of mature bioprinted tissue constructs addressing the unmet needs of NICHD mission-relevant gynecologic, obstetric and pediatric diseases and disorders. Of note, this FOA is not intended for early stage, hypothesis validation of new bioprinted tissue constructs not yet mature for pursuing clinical translation or to support large scale clinical trials using bioprinted tissue constructs.
