Deadline: N/A
Amount: N/A
Abstract
Thrasher Research Fund's research interest is insufficiently studied medical conditions that either are severe or affect children in large numbers. The mission of the Thrasher Research Fund is to improve the health of children through research that offers substantial promise for meaningful advances in the prevention and treatment of children's diseases. The fund does not give preference to any specific diseases so that innovative ideas that fit within the broad mission of the fund will not be limited.
Project emphasis is translational/clinical pediatric research. Emphasis is placed on projects with potential findings that would be clinically applicable in a short period of time in the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of pediatric medical problems.
Funding priority is given to projects conducted within the United States. The fund's priorities are reviewed regularly to ensure that its mission of improving the health of children worldwide is promoted through high quality research.
Deadline Information
Continuous. There are no deadlines for application submissions. Projects that successfully complete the review process are eligible for a funding decision at the subsequent executive committee meeting. The executive committee generally meets in January, April, July, and October. The review cycle, beginning with the submission of a concept paper, usually takes a minimum of six months.
-Applicants are required to submit a concept paper as the initial step in the review process.
-Applicants whose research generally matches the fund's interests will be asked to submit a proposal for peer review.
Award Information
Awards vary depending on the scope and the significance of the project. Financial support may be provided for supplies, minor equipment, and technical personnel assistance related to a specific fund-sponsored project. The fund may provide for salary support that is no more than 20 percent of the investigator's salary. Indirect costs or overhead will be paid at a rate of 7 percent.

THE NIMH COLLABORATIVE PSYCHIATRIC EPIDEMIOLOGY SURVEY (CPES) PROGRAM
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-MH-03-004.html
Deadline: N/A
Amount: N/A
NOT-MH-03-004
The purpose of this notice is to inform the research community of the data sharing plan for a comprehensive set of psychiatric epidemiology surveys, as well as the anticipated availability of funding for secondary analysis of these data once publicly available. The Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Survey (CPES) program consists of four cooperative agreement grants: U01 MH60220; P.I. Ronald Kessler; U01 MH57716, P.I. James Jackson; U01 MH62209, P.I. Margarita Alegria; and U01 MH62207, P.I. David Takeuchi. A primary feature of the CPES is that each study uses core components (such as the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) for psychiatric diagnostic assessments) to enhance comparability. Once complete, these data sets are expected to provide a rich database on mental disorders, the impairments and disabilities related to them, service use, and physical health conditions. They should also be invaluable to the study of ethnic disparities in mental health conditions and service use.
To assist the research community in working with these comprehensive and complex data sets, NIMH is supporting the development of survey analysis and CIDI instrument training courses. NIMH will accept new applications to analyze these data only after they have been publicly released.
Researchers should be aware that since data collection did not begin simultaneously across all four studies, public availability will be staggered. The data collection phases for the Kessler and Jackson studies are nearing completion, while the Alegria and Takeuchi studies are in earlier stages of data collection. It is expected that the first data release will be available in late 2004. Specific release dates will be announced in the NIH Guide as they approach.

Deadline: 12/05/2003, 04/05/2004, 08/05/2004
Amount:
PA-00-131
Abstract
The Congress of the United States enacted the National Research Service Act (NRSA) program in 1974 to help ensure that highly trainedn scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to carry out the nation's biomedical and behavioral research agenda. Under this congressional authority, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards NRSA Senior Fellowships(F33) to experienced scientists who wish to make major changes in the direction of their research careers or who wish to broaden their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities. These awards will enable individuals with at least seven years of research experience beyond the doctorate, and who have progressed to the stage of independent investigator, to take time from regular professional responsibilities for the purpose of receiving training to increase their scientific capabilities. In most cases, this award is used to support sabbatical experiences for established independent scientists. This program is not designed for postdoctoral level investigators seeking to prove their research potential prior to independence.
Award Amount
The award provides an annual stipend to help meet the fellow's living expenses, an allowance for tuition and fees and health insurance in accordance with NIH policy, and an annual institutional allowance.
Stipends for senior fellows are determined individually at the time of award. The amount of the stipend is based on the salary or remuneration from their home institution on the date of award. However, in no case shall the NIH contribution to the stipend during the fellowship exceed the NRSA stipend provided for individuals with more than seven years of experience.
The NIH will offset the combined cost of tuition and fees at the following rate:
- 100 percent of all costs up to $3,000 and 60 percent of costs above
- $3,000. Costs associated with tuition and fees are allowable only if they are required for specific courses in support of the research training experience supported by the fellowship.
- NIH will provide an institutional allowance of $4,000 per 12-month period to nonfederal, nonprofit, or foreign sponsoring institutions to help defray such awardee expenses as research supplies, equipment, health insurance (either self-only or family health insurance as appropriate), and travel to scientific meetings.
- NIH will provide an institutional allowance of up to $3,000 for fellows sponsored by federal laboratories or for-profit institutions for expenses associated with travel to scientific meetings, health insurance, and books. For fellows at for-profit institutions, the $3,000 will be paid to the institution for disbursement to the fellow.

NIH: Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award with Emphasis on the Application of Genomic or Proteomic Technologies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HG-03-006.html.
Deadline: 10/20/20**
Amount:
No. 93.172(NHGRI), No. 93.172 (ORD), and No. 93.279 (NIDA)
Purpose of this RFA
The purpose of the Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) is to support the career development of clinicians who intend to engage in patient oriented research that involves the application of the knowledge, tools, technologies and approaches of genomics diseases in an effort to develop effective therapeutic interventions. This award will provide support for three to five years of supervised study and research for clinically trained professionals who plan to become independent, productive clinical investigators focusing on patient-oriented research.
This K23 award has several important features:
(1)it requires an integrated clinical-laboratory research project that directly involves patients affected by the disease being studied sothat awardees can develop skills in both clinical research and basic science, i.e. bench-to-bedside research;
(2)it emphasizes career development and a research programthat focuses on developing effective therapeutic interventions; projects that involve pre-therapeutic research will also be considered if the applicant can make a strong case that the knowledge gained from the study will provide a clear pathway toward the development of therapeutic interventions; and
(3)it requires significant utilization of genomic and proteomic tools and technologies in the research project.
NHGRI: This initiative is consistent with the NHGRI's new vision for the future of genomics research which includes translating
the information and resources generated by the Human Genome Project into medical value and is responsive to the recommendations of the NIH Director's panel on Clinical Research and the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Addressing Career paths for Clinical Research.
ORD: Under the Rare Diseases Act of 2002, the office has a legislative mandate to support training in clinical research in rare diseases.
NIDA: The institute is interested in the application of genomic and proteomic tools and technologies in pursuit of therapeutic interventions in drug addiction and drug abuse.
The NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research in Bethesda, MD, has a companion program, Physician Scientist Development Program, for clinicians who wish to conduct their research at the National Institutes of Health. To learn more about this program, please visit the website.
Individuals with a clinical degree who are interested in further career development in biomedical research that is not patient-oriented, should refer to the NIH-wide Mentored Clinical Scientist Career Development(K08) Award (see on the NIH website for details). Individuals who are interested in patient-oriented research and wish to
1) study the mechanisms of human disease,
2) conduct clinical trials,
3) develop new technologies, or
4) develop therapeutic interventions that do not use genomic or proteomic technologies should refer to the Mentored Patient- Oriented Research Career Development(K23)Award

Abstract
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) invite grant applications to investigate basic, epidemiological, and clinical research on nutrition (including dietary supplements) and infection. The relationship between infection and nutrition is bi-directional in that infection can result in malnutrition, and malnutrition can contribute to infection.
Applicants are encouraged to assemble research expertise in the areas of nutrition, microbiology, and immunology to explore these complex interrelationships between nutrition and infection. Mechanistic studies aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular connections between nutrition and infections, immunity, and inflammation are especially needed.
The intent of this program announcement (PA) is to advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the relationships between nutrition and infection. It is anticipated that applicants will take advantage of the availability of new technologies and the availability of recent genomic data. Examples of research topics include, but are not limited to
- determination of the role of nutritional factors in microbial pathogenesis and host susceptibility to infection using appropriate animal model and in vitro systems;
- examination of the interplay between microbial pathogens as well as between specific nutritional components on the pathogenesis of microbial infections;
- examination of the impact of nutrition on the capacity of microbial pathogens to invade and grow in vascular and connective tissue;
- examination of the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases within the context of nutrition;
- investigation of the potential mechanisms by which specific micronutrients interfere with the beneficial effects of other micronutrients during infection;
- examination of the direct effects of nutrients on pathogen virulence;
- examination of the effects of dietary intervention with specific nutrients on the immune system and
- examination of the link between nutritional status in early life and the development of infection later in adult life.

NIH/Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center: Clinical Pharmacology Research Associate (ClinPRAT) Program
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=61697.
Deadline: 10/01/2003
Amount: $200 to $1000
Abstract
Recent advances in the potential for developing both small molecule and biotechnology-based pharmacotherapy have increased the need for experts in the clinical development, evaluation, and therapeutic use of these agents. To help meet this need, the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center(CC) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences(NIGMS) have established a research training program in clinical pharmacology at the National Institutes of Health(NIH).
This program emphasizes the application of laboratory pharmacology, biostatistics, pharmacokinetics, and chemistry to the study of drug action in humans.
The Clinical Pharmacology Research Associate (ClinPRAT)Program is intended for medically qualified individuals who wish to acquire specialized clinical and laboratory training in the pharmacological sciences. The goal of the program is to develop a cadre of scientists capable of conducting both basic and applied clinical pharmacology research. Individuals with this background are needed to fill key positions in academic, industrial, and federal research laboratories.
ClinPRAT fellows conduct research in one of the laboratories of the NIH. Clinical and laboratory research opportunities are available in a wide range of scientific areas, including drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics; neuroregulation and the biochemistry of neurotoxic reactions; new approaches to pain management; and the development of new anticancer, antiretroviral, and antifungal drugs, vaccines, and gene therapy.
Fellows devote the majority of their time to clinical and laboratory research. However, they also receive didactic training in clinical research, principles of clinical pharmacology, and biostatistics, and may participate as members of the Clinical Pharmacy Rounding Teams in the NIH Clinical Center.
Professional growth is stimulated through guidance by scientists at the NIH. Applicants will receive a list of suggested research preceptors and will be invited to visit the NIH campus for interviews with prospective research preceptors.
Preceptor selection is arranged by mutual agreement. After entering the program, trainees also will select a mentor who will have an advisory role distinct from that of the research preceptor. In many cases, preceptor and mentoring relationships will extend far beyond the formal training period.
Award Information
Appointments are made for three years. NIGMS makes positions available for clinical pharmacology trainees to enter the program each year at the beginning of July. Alternative starting dates may be negotiated individually, following acceptance into the program.
The stipend is determined by the candidate's educational and professional experience. In addition, there is a monthly allowance of $200 a month to cover supplies, registration fees, and travel costs (travel up to $1,000).

http://fdncenter.org/pnd/rfp/rfp_item.jhtml?id=3000039.
Deadline: 10/01/2003
Amount: $25,000
Abstract
The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation (CRPF) is committed to funding research that develops treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury and other central nervous system disorders. The foundation also works to improve the quality of life for people living with disabilities through its grants program, paralysis resource center, and advocacy efforts.
CRPF provides more than $1,000,000 annually in Quality of Life grants to organizations that help improve opportunities, access, and day-to-day quality of life for individuals living with disabilities, primarily paralysis, and their families. The program is designed to recognize the unique and numerous needs of these individuals and the importance of providing services and programs that enable them to participate in all areas of life.
The Quality of Life Grants Program offers two types of grants to nonprofit organizations; grants are not made to individuals.
The first type of grant supports nonprofit organizations that address the needs of persons living with spinal cord injuries, their families, and caregivers. Within this grant area, funding is awarded in twelve categories: children, arts, sports and recreation, education, advocacy, accessibility, practical service, independent living, assistive technology, therapeutic riding, employment, and counseling. To qualify for this grant, a nonprofit organization does not have to serve the spinal-cord-injured community exclusively; however, at least a portion of the population served must have spinal cord injuries.
The Quality of Life Grants Program also offers health promotion awards to nonprofit organizations that address paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries and other injuries, diseases, and birth defects, including (but not limited tostroke, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Health promotion grants are intended for programmatic activities and not solely for the purchase of equipment for use by individuals. The health promotion awards are made possible by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Funding is awarded in amounts of up to $25,000 per grant. Grants will be given only to nonprofit organizations that have received tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code and are not private foundations under section 509(a) of the code. Nonprofit organizations located in countries other than the United States are asked to submit additional supporting documentation.

Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM): Patient Safety-Oriented Research
Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM)
http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=80083.
Deadline: 09/01/2003
Amount: N/A
Eligibility
The principal investigator must be a current SCCM member. Applications are encouraged from both established and junior investigators.
Applications from junior investigators (defined as assistant professor or below) may be requests for independent support or may include a research mentor who is also an SCCM member and can demonstrate strong research credentials in the areas of clinical and outcomes research.
Abstract
The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), in collaboration with the Critical Care Education and Research Foundation (CCERF), has announced the availability of the second year of grant support for SCCM members focused on clinical and outcomes research specifically related to patient safety.
SCCM seeks to sponsor research efforts that will ultimately improve patient safety in the intensive care unit. In developing proposals, potential applicants should consider patient safety as more than simply "reducing error rates."
Investigator-initiated research should help expand and advance our understanding of clinical outcomes specifically related to patient safety. Potential areas of investigation include, but are not limited to, strategies that design and evaluate:
1) best practice strategies to improve patient outcomes and patient safety in the critically ill. Of particularly interest are activities that translate research into safe practice through implementation of best practice guidelines.
2) error reporting, analysis of error and compliance problem causality. We are interested in proposals that test methods to engage critical care health workers in error reporting and error reduction as well as studies that propose innovative mechanisms for error analysis.
3) information technology (IT) to enhance operating efficiency and improve safety. We are interested in IT applications that ultimately will lead to improved patient care outcomes in critical care. Areas of investigation may include performance levels, quality improvement, impact measurement, and peripheral delivery of care.
4) ability of the critical care workforce (physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care workers) to maintain patient safety. We are interested in investigations that may analyze the role of staffing ratios and patterns on patient outcomes related to safety.
5) delivery models (i.e. open vs. closed units) and organizational modes (i.e. ICU consultation, hospitalist service, code team participation) that have the potential to affect patient outcomes and patient safety.

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-02-042.html.
Deadline: 06/20/2003
Amount: N/A
PAR-02-042
Purpose
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. A growing body of evidence indicates that the number of individuals dying of colorectal cancer could be greatly reduced through appropriate screening. Although there is now general agreement that average-risk adults aged 50 and older should be screened for colorectal cancer, national survey data show less than half of eligible adults have ever been screened for this disease. Primary care practice is an important point of entry for colorectal cancer screening. The National Cancer Institute and Agency for Health Care Research and Quality are interested in promoting research to enhance understanding of colorectal cancer screening delivery, utilization, and outcomes in primary care practice. The objective of this Program Announcement is to encourage applications for exploratory/developmental grants (R21) designed to improve the delivery and uptake and evaluate the short-term outcomes of colorectal cancer screening in primary care practice.
