The NIH invites applications for Countermeasures Against Chemical Threats (CounterACT) Cooperative Research Projects (U01s). The overall mission of the CounterACT U01 program is to develop new and improved medical countermeasures against chemical threats. Chemical threats are defined as toxic chemical agents that could be used in a terrorist attack against civilians, or those that could be released at toxic levels by accident or natural disaster. 

The NIH invites applications for the establishment of Countermeasures Against Chemical Threats (CounterACT) Research Centers of Excellence. The overall mission of the CounterACT Centers is to develop new and improved medical countermeasures against chemical threats. Chemical threats are defined as toxic chemical agents that could be used in a terrorist attack against civilians, or those that could be released at toxic levels by accident or natural disaster.

- This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research. (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a trans-NIH partnership to accelerate neuroscience research.Sixteen Institutes and Centers are participating in the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research. - This funding opportunity will enable the development of novel, interdisciplinary training programs that integrate comprehensive training in basic neuroscience, the physical and biological bases of neuroimaging, the technologies and analytic methods of in vivo neuroimaging, and the application of these technologies to understanding questions in neuroscience across the life span.Each training program must have two components: a] a pre-doctoral institutional training program and b] a short-term research education program(s) for scientists at all stages of the career continuum who are interested in neuroimaging.

Under this PA, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invite research grant applications that address the underlying neurobiological mechanisms associated with the cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD), that address the development of clinical interventions and therapeutics for cognitive impairment in PD, or that promote improved clinical diagnosis or treatment of cognitive impairment in PD. A goal of this PA is to begin a process where basic and clinical scientists from various disciplines can overcome barriers to cross-disciplinary and biobehavioral research and examine all aspects of cognition in the context of the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

- This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a trans-NIH partnership to accelerate neuroscience research. Fifteen Institutes and Centers are participating in the Neuroscience Blueprint. This RFA will be administered by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint. - This funding opportunity will support integrated research education and research training programs that provide interdisciplinary training in basic neuroscience and the theoretical and technological approaches of computational neuroscience.

The goals of NIH-supported research training and career development programs are to help ensure that diverse pools of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.NIH mentored career development awards provide mentored research experiences to gain additional expertise in a new research area or in an area that will significantly enhance an investigator s research capabilities. It is expected that the mentored research and career development experience will lead to an independent and productive research career.
