General

The National Science Foundation has issued its solicitation for Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
funding opportunities. The primary objective of the SBIR/STTR Program is
to increase the incentive and opportunity for small firms to undertake
cutting-edge, high risk, high quality scientific, engineering, or science/engineering
education research that would have a high potential economic payoff if
the research is successful. The STTR program fosters opportunities for
joint ventures by small businesses and non-profit research institutions
and requires researchers at universities to play a significant part in
the project. Research areas for both programs are: Advanced Materials and
Manufacturing, Biotechnology, Electronics, and Information-Based Technologies.

The overall purpose of this grants program is to develop knowledge that
can be use in preventing occupational diseases and injuries and to better
understand their underlying pathophysiology. The following types of applied
research projects will be supported: causal research to identify and investigate
the relationships between hazardous working conditions and associated occupational
disease and injury; the nature and magnitude of special risk factors experienced
by older and/or minority workers; methods research to develop more sensitive
means of evaluating hazards at work sites; and evaluations of the effectiveness
of techniques such as control technologies, personal protective equipment

The purpose of this RFA is to support the development of technologies that
will facilitate the generation of a complete set of full-length human cDNAs
as well as other mammalian cDNAs. Current methods of cDNA clone and library
production favor shorter, more heavily represented genes. Use of human
tissues may be necessary. Reliable, high-throughput methods to determine
whether clones contain a copy of the full transcript, the full coding region,
or a partial transcript are needed. CA-99-005 (NIHG 03/05/99)
