The above named organizations invite applications for a four year
research grant program to test interventions designed to achieve
long-term health behavior change. The health behaviors of
interest-- tobacco use, insufficient exercise, poor diet, and
alcohol abuse--are among the top ten causes for morbidity and
premature mortality. This Request for Applications (RFA) solicits
intervention studies aimed at either comparing alternative theories
related to mechanisms involved in behavior change, or assessing the
utility of a particular theoretical model for changing two or more
health-related behaviors, rather than simply demonstrating the
efficacy of a single behavior change program.

Expiration Date: Tuesday, September 5, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-105 Release Date: Friday, September 5, 1997 Notice Type: PA
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Dental Research
(NIDR), the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases (NIDDK),the National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (NINDS) and the Office of Research on Women"s Health
(ORWH) invite applications for highly focused basic research
integrated with the WOMEN"S INTERAGENCY HIV STUDY (WIHS) scope and
structure. Applications are expected to utilize the WIHS study
population, a large cohort of HIV-infected women in the U.S., to
formulate specific hypotheses concerning HIV/AIDS pathogenesis in
women. The WIHS cohort is followed in five large metropolitan areas
(New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco).
Expiration Date: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 NOFO Number: PAR-97-102 Release Date: Friday, August 29, 1997 Notice Type: PAR
The NINDS seeks to fund high quality clinical trials to evaluate
treatments for neurological disorders. The NINDS Clinical Trial
Planning Grant allows for early peer review of the rationale and
design for clinical trials of treatments for neurological disorders
and provides support for the development of a detailed clinical trial
research plan, including a complete manual of operations and
procedures.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 NOFO Number: PAR-97-103 Release Date: Friday, August 29, 1997 Notice Type: PAR
The NINDS is committed to identifying effective treatments for
neurological disorders by supporting well-executed clinical trials.
Before proceeding to a full-scale clinical trial, pilot clinical
studies are often required. The NINDS announces its interest in
supporting pilot studies required to obtain necessary information to
clearly establish the clinical basis for proceeding to a full-scale
trial. The purpose of NINDS Pilot Clinical Trial Grant For
Neurological Disease is to obtain preliminary data and conduct
studies to support the rationale for a subsequent full-scale clinical
trial of an intervention to treat or prevent neurological disease.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, August 8, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-092 Release Date: Friday, August 8, 1997 Notice Type: PA
The objective of this initiative is to encourage research on
strategies to prevent or delay adverse aging-related changes and
diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, using genetic and
cellular engineering approaches.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-058 Release Date: Friday, May 16, 1997 Notice Type: PA
This initiative invites applications directed to the study of the
pathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of three common
causes of low back pain: (1) herniated nucleus pulposus, (2) spinal
stenosis, and (3) idiopathic low back pain.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-059 Release Date: Friday, May 16, 1997 Notice Type: PA
This initiative invites applications directed to the study of the
pathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of repetitive
motion disorders.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-050 Release Date: Friday, March 28, 1997 Notice Type: PA
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Institute
on Aging (NIA),
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the National Center
for Medical Rehabilitation Research of the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) are interested in
facilitating investigator-initiated research into nonpharmacological
intervention strategies designed to deal with symptoms associated
with cognitive impairment in adults. Several conditions can result
in cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer"s disease, multi-infarct
dementia, AIDS-related cognitive dysfunction, traumatic brain injury,
stroke, and other neurological conditions such as Parkinson"s
disease. The overall goals are to deter or delay symptoms requiring
costly services or institutionalization and improve health-related
quality of life for patients, caregivers, and families.
Expiration Date: Thursday, April 24, 1997 NOFO Number: RFA-HL-97-004 Release Date: Friday, February 14, 1997 Notice Type: RFA
The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to expand the
Rat Genome Project by soliciting applications for research projects
to accomplish three objectives: 1) arraying and distributing
existing rat cDNA libraries, 2) developing Expressed Sequence Tags
(ESTs) from those libraries, and 3) mapping a subset of those ESTs.
The overall goal of this effort is to construct a rat gene catalog
and an EST map that will facilitate the mapping of genes in the rat
and increase the value of the rat as a biomedical research model.
Expiration Date: Monday, January 10, 2000 NOFO Number: PA-97-024 Release Date: Friday, January 10, 1997 Notice Type: PA
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS),
National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD), and National Institute of Nursing
Research (NINR) invite applications for support of research that will
increase our knowledge of the mechanisms that underlie processes of
injury and repair in the central nervous system (CNS), including
optic nerve and other CNS tracts, and that will provide strategies
for therapeutic intervention in spinal cord injury.
