The project intends to address this problem with the use of genomic advances since genomic technologies have made it greatly possible to determine the genes that are involved in the process of chronic wound development and what it would take to repair them.

Several other studies in the past have already shown great potential in understanding the processes involved in inflammation and repair over the course of wound healing, and this project intends to dig deeper into these studies to explore all the areas that have the potential to help them comprehend the underlying pathology or factors that contributed to poor and proper wound healing.
The National Institutes of Health and The National Institute of Nursing Research intends to award a total of 8 grants with a total funding amount of $2,000,000 --- with each award ranging from $200,000 to $275,000 per year.
The institutions and organizations that will be eligible to submit an application for this program are the following:
a) Higher Education Institutions such as Public/State Controlled Institutions of Higher Education and Private Institutions of Higher Education
b) Nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education
c) For-Profit Organizations such as Small Businesses
d) State Governments, County Governments, City or Township Governments, Special District Governments, Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized), and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized)
e) Independent School Districts, Public Housing Authorities/Indian Housing Authorities, Native American Tribal Organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments), Faith-based or Community-based Organizations, and Regional Organizations.
