The above sponsoring Institutes and Agencies invite research grant
applications in response to this Program Announcement with Set-aside (PAS)
that will enhance our understanding of children exposed to domestic violence,
community violence, and war/terrorism. This PA is designed to develop new
knowledge in these areas and in the definition, identification, epidemiology,
prevention, etiology, effects, early intervention, and mechanisms of violence
exposure. This PA builds on recommendations from a recent multi-agency
research agenda-building workshop held in Washington, DC in July 2002. A
complete summary of the meeting presentations and recommendations is
available at http://www.nichd.nih.gov/crmc/cdb/cdb.htm.
Child exposure to violence is a serious public health, justice, social
services, and education problem. Such exposure not only compromises the
immediate health of children around the world, but also affects their growth
and intellectual development, their long-term physical and mental health
outcomes, their propensity for prosocial or antisocial behavior and substance
abuse, their future relationships with partners and children, and their
economic productivity as eventual wage earners. The need for more systematic
and multi-disciplinary research in these areas provides the impetus for this
PA.
Although not participating in this program announcement, the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) shares an interest in this area of
research. For specific information on NIMH interests, see

The goal of this Program Announcement (PA) is to promote the identification
of susceptibility genes for complex neurological and neurobehavioral
disorders. For this PA, complex disorders are defined as those caused by the
interaction of multiple genes, or by a combination of genetic and
environmental risk factors. Many of these disorders are relatively common
and clinically heterogeneous. Projects focusing on any phase of the gene
discovery process, from initial patient ascertainment to positional cloning,
are appropriate. Novel approaches, including the use of intermediate
phenotypes that potentially underlie complex disorders, are also encouraged.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite applications to promote
research into the role of neuroinflammation in the initiation and expansion
of cellular injury and death in the context of HIV-1 infection of the central
nervous system (CNS). Recent evidence indicates that microglial and
astrocytic activation results in the release of excitotoxins, arachidonic
acid metabolites, reactive oxygen species, cytokines and chemokines that lead
to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment in HIV-1 infected individuals.
The intent of this PAS is to intensify interest and investigator-initiated
research, to attract new investigators to this field, and to mobilize
interdisciplinary approaches.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
invite applications dealing with nervous system control of
reproduction. The purpose of this PA is to stimulate the development
of new technologies and the application of existing innovative
technologies to answer questions regarding the neuroendocrine control
of reproduction that, up to this point, could not be answered due to
limitations in technology. Answers to these questions are particularly
critical for human reproduction given the increased evidence for
altered neuroendocrine function as an etiological underpinning for
certain reproductive diseases and disorders.

The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) the Office of Rare
Diseases, National Institutes of Health (ORD, NIH), the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National
Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS),
the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK), and the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD) invite applications for Rare Diseases Clinical
Research Centers (RDCRCs) and a Data and Technology Coordinating Center
(DTCC), which together will form the Rare Diseases Clinical Research
Network. The purpose of this cooperative research network is to
facilitate clinical research in rare diseases through support for 1)
collaborative clinical research in rare diseases, including
longitudinal studies of individuals with rare diseases, clinical
studies, phase one and two trials, and/or pilot and demonstration
projects; 2) training of clinical investigators in rare diseases
research; 3) a test bed for distributed clinical data management that
incorporates novel approaches and technologies for data management,
data mining, and data sharing across rare diseases, data types, and
platforms; and 4) access to information related to rare diseases for
basic and clinical researchers, academic and practicing physicians,
patients, and the lay public. Each RDCRC must include a consortium of
clinical investigators, institutions, GCRCs, and relevant
organizations, including patient support organizations, for the study
of a subgroup of rare diseases. The DTCC, a collaboration between data
base and computational/computer science innovators, will provide a
scalable coordinated clinical data management system for collection,
storage, and analysis of data of RDCRCs, a portal and tools for
integration of developed and publicly available datasets for data
mining at RDCRCs, web based recruitment and referral, and a user
friendly resource site for the public, research scientists, and
clinicians. This cooperative program should facilitate identification
of biomarkers for disease risk, disease severity/activity, and clinical
outcome and encourage development of new approaches to diagnosis,
prevention, and treatment of rare diseases.

Participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) invite applications for Exploratory/Developmental
Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) to support innovative, high
risk/high impact bioengineering research in new areas that are lacking
preliminary testing or development. This research can explore
approaches and concepts new to a particular substantive area; research
and development of new technologies, techniques or methods; or initial
research and development of data upon which significant future research
may be built.
While this program announcement (PA) is intended to encourage
innovation and high impact research, and while minimal preliminary data
are expected to be described in the application, applications should
clearly indicate the significance of the proposed work and that the
proposed research and/or development is scientifically sound, that the
qualifications of the investigators are appropriate, and that resources
available to the investigators are adequate.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, January 3, 2006 NOFO Number: PA-03-053 Release Date: Thursday, January 9, 2003 Notice Type: PA
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is continuing to make a special
effort to stimulate research in educational institutions that provide
baccalaureate or advanced training for a significant number of the Nation's
research scientists but that have not been major recipients of NIH support.
Since Fiscal Year (FY) 1985, Congressional appropriations for the NIH have
included funds for this initiative, which NIH has implemented through the
Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) program. Based on the
expectation that funds will continue to be available each year, the NIH
invites applications for AREA grants (R15) through a standing, an ongoing
Program Announcement (PA).
AREA funds are intended to support new ("type 1") and continuing ("renewal"
or "competing continuation" or "type 2") health-related research projects
proposed by faculty members of eligible schools and components of domestic
institutions. The AREA will enable qualified scientists to receive support
for small-scale research projects. These grants are intended to create a
research opportunity for scientists and institutions otherwise unlikely to
participate extensively in NIH programs to support the Nation's biomedical
and behavioral research effort. It is anticipated that investigators
supported under the AREA program will benefit from the opportunity to conduct
independent research; that the grantee institution will benefit from a
research environment strengthened through AREA grants and furthered by
participation in the diverse extramural programs of the NIH; and that
students will benefit from exposure to and participation in research and be
encouraged to pursue graduate studies in the health sciences.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the participating
Institutes, Centers, and Offices listed above, invite applications for
infrastructure grants in support of research on mind-body interactions
and health. "Mind-body interactions and health" refers to the
relationships among cognitions, emotions, personality, social
relationships, and health. Applicant institutions may request funds to
support infrastructure and research designed to (1) enhance the quality
and quantity of mind-body and health research and (2) develop new
research capabilities to advance mind-body and health research through
innovative approaches. These activities must reflect a research theme
that is driven by scientific questions within the context of "Mind-body
interactions and health" research. A central goal of this program is to
facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in mind-body
and health research while providing essential and cost-effective core
services in support of the development, conduct, and translation into
practice of mind-body and health research based in centers or comparable
administrative units.
This announcement invites applications for R21 EXPLORATORY/DEVELOPMENTAL
AWARDS. Exploratory/Developmental Awards are intended to support the
development and demonstrate the feasibility of programs at institutions
that have high potential for advancing mind-body and health research,
but have not yet fully achieved the necessary resources and mechanisms
to qualify for a R24 Research Infrastructure Award. (See RFA-OB-03-004,
Mind-Body Interactions and Health: Research Infrastructure Program.)
