Support will be limited to activities that reach a wide audience of researchers. The program announcement is NOT intended for university course or curriculum development. PA-09-002 (NIHG 10/16/08) HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCE47-8 Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health (G13) (NIH)National Library of Medicine (NLM) Grants for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health are awarded for the preparation of book-length manuscripts and other scholarly works of value to U.S. health professionals, public health officials, biomedical researchers and historians of the health sciences. PAR-09-030 (GG 12/4/08) 47-9 Collaborative Research in Integrative Cancer Biology and the Tumor Microenvironment (U01) (NIH)With this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages new collaborative projects between investigators associated with the Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP) or Tumor Microenvironment Network (TMEN) and researchers who are not involved with the program with which they propose to collaborate. This FOA is designed to facilitate new projects in integrative cancer biology and/or tumor microenvironment research and to extend current research conducted in the ICBP and TMEN programs through collaborations with a broader research community. PAR-09-026 (NIHG 11/14/08) Deadline: Letters of Intent 1/19/2009, 9/19/2009; Applications 2/19/2009, 10/19/2009 47-10 Innovative Approaches to Target Identification and Assay Development for Fungal Diagnosis (R21/R33) (NIH)This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), titled Innovative Approaches to Target Identification and Assay Development for Fungal Diagnosis, and issued by the NIAID, National Institutes of Health, solicits applications to foster collaborative efforts between the mycology research community and the innovative technology sector to develop novel clinical diagnostic targets and subsequent assays for invasive aspergillosis (IA) and other invasive fungal diseases common to immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. This FOA will utilize the NIH R21/R33 Phased Innovation Award to support innovative exploratory and developmental research. Under the R21 phase, research is initiated and carried out through a milestone-driven process to establish the feasibility of new diagnostics, diagnostic strategies and support technologies. The R33 phase then provides the support required to translate the innovation discoveries into the preclinical/clinical development pipeline. RFA-AI-08-055 (NIHG 9/26/08) Deadline: Letters of Intent 1/12/2009; Applications 2/11/2009 SOCIAL SCIENCES47-11 Human, Social, Cultural and Behavioral Sciences Basic Research, Applied Research and Advanced Technology (ONR)Science and technology investment in human, social, cultural and behavioral (HSCB) sciences is focused on building capability through the development of a knowledge base, building models, and creating training capacity in order to understand, predict, and shape human behavior cross-culturally. The need to understand the motivations and influences underlying adversarial behavior, behavior of contested populations, and populations with whom US Forces have not yet interacted, how they vary cross-culturally, and what is innately human behavior that extends across cultural boundaries is required at all levels of military operations. An understanding of these motivations and influences will be gleaned from inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches that draw on approaches and methods from a wide range of social and human/behavioral sciences including (but not exclusively) anthropology, sociology, linguistics, political science, theology, economics, history, criminology, psychology, cognitive sciences, genetics, mathematics, statistics and neuroscience. Understanding how these influences are exerted, through media, community, schools, famillial ties, etc. is important. ONRBAA08-025 (GG 12/8/08) 47-12 Brain Imaging Studies of Negative Reinforcement in Humans (R01) (NIH)This FOA issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to investigate brain processes in humans underlying how aversive events control behavior in order to stimulate a program of clinical neuroscience research on negative reinforcement/avoidance learning. On the basis of pre-clinical studies, negative reinforcement has re-emerged as a contributing factor in the basic processes of substance abuse. The range of processes engaged by the human brain to avoid aversive outcomes are much less well understood than that of brain processes engaged by positive outcomes. Applications for this FOA are expected to propose hypotheses-testing studies regarding the brain regions or processes in humans that underlie avoidance learning including behaviors and cognitive strategies maintained by negative reinforcement. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research project grant R01 granting mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scope, RFA-DA-09-009, that solicits applications under the R21 grant mechanism. RFA-DA-09-008 (NIHG 11/7/08) Deadline: Letters of Intent 1/19/2009; Applications 2/19/2009 47-13 Developmental and Learning Sciences (DLS) (NSF)DLS supports fundamental research that increases our understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development and learning. Research supported by this program will add to our basic knowledge of how people learn and the underlying developmental processes that support learning, with the objective of leading to better educated children and adolescents who grow up to take productive roles as workers and as citizens.
