The goal of RFA-NS-12-010 is to stimulate innovation and development of technologies and reagents that will accelerate the discovery of biological biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease (PD). The goal of RFA-NS-12-011 is to support hypothesis driven clinical research to discover biomarkers that will improve the efficiency and outcome of Phase II clinical trials for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and to support the collection of clinical data and new biological specimens that will be used for biomarker exploratory efforts under the NINDS Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP). To date, several questions about these FOAs have been submitted from various investigators. The purpose of this Notice is to inform potential applicants that a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and answers is available at (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/pdbp/). These FAQs may be updated periodically without additional notice. Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:00:00 EDT http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/pa/PAR-12-163.htm http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/pa/PAR-12-163.htm The NINDS Advanced Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity issued by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is designed to increase the number of highly trained early career investigators from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research. Faculty from diverse backgrounds represent only 5% of the tenure-stream neuroscience faculty (2009 Survey Report Neuroscience Departments and Programs). This opportunity provides individuals from diverse backgrounds with strong training in neuroscience with the resources and tools that will help facilitate a transition to a stable and productive independent research position. Individuals from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research are eligible for support under this award if they have doctoral research degrees (Ph.D., P.h.D./M.D. or equivalent) and between 2 and 5 years of postdoctoral research experience at the time of application. The primary objectives of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are to: (1) assist talented underrepresented scientists to transition from postdoctoral training to a secure, independent research position and (2) enhance the conditions that promote establishing a strong and innovative independent program of research. NINDS support for K22 program relies equally on scientific merit and programmatic considerations. Consequently, we strongly recommend potential applicants speak with program officials at NINDS before preparing an application. NINDS will not support projects, regardless of the results of merit review, if they do not fulfill current programmatic priorities at NINDS.

This supplement opportunity is also available to PD(s)/PI(s) of research grants who become disabled and need additional support to accommodate their disability in order to continue to work on the research project. Administrative supplements must support work within the scope of the original project.

The purpose of these supplements is to encourage such individuals to re-enter research careers within the missions of all the program areas of NIH. This program will provide administrative supplements to existing NIH research grants for the purpose of supporting full-time or part-time research by these individuals to update their existing research skills and knowledge.

The purpose of the NINDS Faculty Development Award to Promote Diversity in Neuroscience Research is to provide junior faculty support and protected time (up to three years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in neuroscience research. The goal of the NINDS K01 is to diversify the pool of independent neuroscience research investigators and to enhance the probability of success in obtaining independent NIH or other independent research support. Individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research are eligible for support under this award if they have doctoral research degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent) and are in the first 3 years of a faculty position at the time of award. NINDS support for K01 program relies equally on scientific merit and programmatic considerations. Consequently, we strongly recommend potential applicants speak with program officials at NINDS before preparing an application. NINDS will not support projects, regardless of the results of merit review, if they do not fulfill current programmatic priorities at NINDS.

The development of such services would potentially facilitate broad access to state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies in research areas of high significance to the mission of the NIH, particularly for the participating Institutes (NIGMS, NINDS, NCCAM, NIEHS, NIAMS) but not limited to them. Clinical services are expressly excluded. This information may be used to develop funding initiatives through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR/STTR) Program.

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:00:00 EDT http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/notice/NOT-GM-12-109.htm http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/notice/NOT-GM-12-109.htm Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) have identified Big Data as a program focus. In particular, the present initiative covers the needs for core techniques and technologies for advancing big data science and engineering. Full details on the programmatic goals and application process are described in the NSF Program Solicitation (NSF-12-499). Description: BIGDATA seeks applications that develop and evaluate core technologies and tools that take advantage of available collections of large data sets to accelerate progress in science, biomedical research, and engineering. In addition, all applications must also include a description of how the project will build capacity. Also, a project may choose to focus its science and engineering big data project in an area of national priority, but this is optional. Each small project may receive NIH support up to $150,000 in direct funds up to 3 years, while mid-scale projects may receive NIH support ranging from $150,000 to $650,000 in direct funds up to 5 years. In all, participating NIH Institutes have committed up to $2.75M in FY 2012 and/or 2013. It is anticipated that NIH will pay 4 to 6 small projects and 1 to 2 mid-scale projects through the program in fiscal years 2012 and/or 2013, subject to availability of funds. Application submission is through the National Science Foundation. Following a jointly conducted initial peer review of these applications, likely NIH awardees will be asked to reformat their application and resubmit their application for NIH processing. Detailed information about this program can be obtained on the Internet at www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504767 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:00:00 EDT http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/rfa/RFA-HL-13-022.htm http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/rfa/RFA-HL-13-022.htm The purpose of this limited Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications to support the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for the Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN). A separate FOA (RFA-HL-13-017) seeks applications for Network Core Clinical Centers. The goal of the CTSN is to evaluate surgical interventions and related management approaches to improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease and conditions in adult patients. The DCC provides administrative and statistical support to maintain an infrastructure to develop, coordinate, and conduct multiple collaborative surgical trials designed to improve cardiovascular outcomes and optimize post-operative neurological function.
