It is the hope of the NHLBI that the proposals will pave the way to several interdisciplinary approaches to translational research in the hemoglobinopathies, which entails a higher likelihood of high-impact research eventually becoming applied clinical research studies.

The end goal of the studies that will be proposed under this project is centered on the discovery of small molecules, biologics, and biomarkers that can all be utilized in the process of diagnosing, treating, and managing sickle cell disease or the thalassemias.

The NHLBI is set to administer 7 to 10 grant awards with an overall budget of $72.85, with a total cost of $14 million for the year 2013 alone.
