The objectives of this FOA are to support studies aimed at elucidating mechanisms underlying large, conduit artery stiffening in the context of hypertension and studies that examine the temporal relationship between large artery stiffening and the development of hypertension in animal models. Responsive applications must demonstrate the capability to measure arterial stiffening using either established models of hypertension or new animal models developed for this FOA.

This Notice encourages interested investigators with expertise in animal model development to begin to consider applying for this new FOA.
