The National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development (NICHD, National Institute on Deafness
and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), National Institute of
Dental Research (NIDR), National Institute of General Medical
Sciences (NIGMS), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH),
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and
National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) are jointly sponsoring
a new neuroscience predoctoral research training program. The aim of
the program is to encourage and support broad training in the
neurosciences by offering institutions a single comprehensive
training grant. Support through the program is focused on the early
years of training before full-time thesis research is started.
Trainees are expected to be participants in a formal predoctoral
curriculum offering broad and fundamental training in the
neurosciences. For institutions that presently have multiple
training grants with predoctoral trainees in the neurosciences,
predoctoral training positions can now be consolidated into a single
training grant jointly sponsored by the participating NIH Institutes.
Applications will be also accepted from institutions without current
training grant support . Existing training grants that have
postdoctoral positions may continue, less any predoctoral positions
moved to the consolidated application. Depending on the policies of
the awarding NIH Institute, other training grants at the applicant
institution may continue to support predoctoral trainees involved in
thesis research (contact specific NIH Institute staff listed under
INQUIRIES).

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS),
invites applications for support of research that will increase our
knowledge of the genetic, molecular, cellular, and physiological
mechanisms of DNA injury and repair mechanisms in the nervous system
after ischemic and traumatic injury, and in neurodegenerative
disorders.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke announces
the reissuance of a program announcement (PA) (originally published
December 20, 1991) to notify the scientific community of its
continued interest in the submission of research grant applications
concerning neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

It is generally agreed that the presence of HIV within the central
nervous system (CNS) contributes to the development of
neurobehavioral impairments and neurologic syndromes that occur in a
subset of HIV-infected individuals. However, a direct link between
the presence of virus and HIV-induced motor/cognitive impairments has
yet to be elucidated. This program announcement solicits research
applications to (1) identify effective ways to quantitate viral load
within the CNS during life, (2) correlate the quantity of virus
within the CNS to the onset and course of neurobehavioral and
neurological changes, (3) identify specific biochemical or
neurochemical alterations in neuronal function as a consequence of
the presence of virus either directly or indirectly, and (4) identify
and test drugs that prevent or reverse the neuronal dysfunction.
Collaborations between neuroscientists and immunologists/virologists
are encouraged but not required. Fellowships are also solicited
through this program announcement to encourage a broader range of
scientists to conduct research in this field.
Expiration Date: Monday, June 14, 1999 NOFO Number: PA-96-058 Release Date: Friday, June 14, 1996 Notice Type: PA
The principal objective of this Program Announcement (PA) is to
stimulate research on the basic mechanisms of neuronal cell death and
injury as they relate to neurodegenerative disorders. The results of
these investigations are expected to help in elucidating the
pathogenesis of these diseases.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS),
National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK), National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin
Diseases (NIAMS), National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR), and
the Office of Research on Women"s Health (ORWH) invite applications
for basic studies that will increase knowledge of the mechanisms by
which gender influences the development of autoimmune disease and the
regulation of the immune response in individuals with these diseases.
Although it is clear that autoimmune diseases disproportionately
affect women, the reasons for this are not clear. Research into the
basic mechanisms by which sex hormones or non-hormonal gender
differences affect the immune response and protect from or contribute
to a break in self tolerance should allow for the development of
improved therapeutic and preventive strategies for autoimmune
disease.
Expiration Date: Monday, May 10, 1999 NOFO Number: PA-96-051 Release Date: Friday, May 10, 1996 Notice Type: PA
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases
(NIAMS) invite applications for basic and preclinical studies to
increase knowledge of the role of microbes in the development and
regulation of chronic pathologic immune responses, including
autoimmune diseases, and to identify the genetic factors that
increase or decrease the susceptibility to pathogen-induced immune
disease. Exploitation of animal models of microbe-induced autoimmune
disease to molecularly dissect the etiology and pathogenesis of
autoimmune disease would be relevant. The knowledge developed
through research into the mechanisms by which microbes break
tolerance to self antigens should provide information about the
underlying basis of autoimmunity.

In response to new basic and clinical developments in Parkinson"s
disease research and the interest of related voluntary organizations,
the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health in 1995 asked the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to
organize a conference to assess the progress made in Parkinson"s
disease research, to identify new opportunities and goals, and to
plan a research agenda to coordinate and strengthen the cooperative
activities of the several NIH institutes supporting research relevant
to this disorder. This meeting was held in August 1995 and, with
NINDS, was jointly sponsored by the National Institute on Aging, the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National
Institute of Mental Health. For fiscal year 1996 the Senate
Appropriations Committee urged the NINDS to expand its initiatives in
areas of promise identified at the August Parkinson"s research
conference. This Program Announcement (PA) is one of several
responses to Congressional interest in this subject.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, October 6, 1998 NOFO Number: PA-96-002 Release Date: Friday, October 6, 1995 Notice Type: PA
This Program Announcement (PA) replaces PA-93-068. The purpose of
this initiative is to encourage and support investigator-initiated,
neuroinformatics research that will lead to new digital tools for all
domains of brain and behavioral research. The advanced information
technologies resulting from this research are expected to be put to
wide use by the brain and behavioral science community. Therefore,
the approaches and technologies studied under the Human Brain Project
will be generalizable, scalable, and extensible, and will use
sophisticated, powerful computational resources.

The Office on AIDS, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH),
supports investigations directed at developing effective strategies
to prevent or reduce behaviors that place individuals at risk for HIV
infection and fosters research to enhance the understanding of the
profound impact of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
on the central nervous system (CNS). In addition, the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) supports
research on neurological aspects of HIV infection (neuro-AIDS) in
adults and children.
