Notice of Availability of Administrative Supplements for the U.S.-JAPAN Brain Research ------------------------------- I. NIDA/SfN Mini-Convention: Frontiers in Addiction Research (Detailed agenda now available) Date & Time: Friday, November 12, 8:00 AM - 6:35 PM Location: San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina Room: Marriott Hall Online registration: http://www.seiservices.com/nida/frontier... Pre-registration is half subscribed. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Mini-Convention, Frontiers in Addiction Research, will feature cutting-edge presentations and discussion of future directions in the neurobiology of drug abuse and addiction. The NIDA Mini-Convention includes four symposia, the SfN Jacob Waletzky Memorial Lecture and a poster session featuring early career investigators. The agenda this year includes: 8:00 am Welcome: NIDA Director 8:15 am The Role of Nicotinic Receptors in the Habenula in Mediating Addiction 10:00 am Jacob P. Waletzky Memorial Lecture 10:55 am Using Model Organisms to Discover Unanticipated Pathways to Addiction 12:40 pm Early Career Investigators Poster Session & Lunch 2:40 pm A Fresh Look at Dopamine Release & Uptake 4:50 pm Connectivity of the Human Brain and its Disruption by Drugs of Abuse II. Exceptional, Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration (EUREKA) (R01) Application Due Date(s): October 21, 2010 Peer Review Date(s): March 2011 Council Review Date(s): May 2011 Earliest Anticipated Start Date(s): July 1, 2011 URL: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-f... Purpose. This FOA solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations proposing exceptionally innovative research on novel hypotheses or difficult problems, solutions to which would have an extremely high impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research that is germane to the mission of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes. This FOA is for support of new projects, not continuation of projects that have already been initiated. It does not support pilot projects, i.e., projects of limited scope that are designed primarily to generate data that will enable the PD/PI to seek other funding. NIGM, NCI, NCCAM, NIAAA $600,000, NIDCR, NIDA, NIMH and NINDS are participating in this initiative. NIDA is interested in supporting high-risk/high-impact innovative research that encompasses research in the areas of (1) basic and clinical neuroscience and (2) genetics research involving genetic model systems, or human molecular genetics. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIDA staff to discuss feasibility of their proposed research. III. PAS-10-226. ANSWHR: Advancing Novel Science in Women’s Health Research (ANSWHR) (R21) Application Due Date(s): October 16, 2010; October 16, 2011, October 16, 2012 for new applications; November 16, 2010; November 16, 2011; November 16, 2012 for resubmission applications. Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) and co-sponsoring NIH institutes and centers (ICs), is to promote innovative, interdisciplinary research that will advance new concepts in women’s health research and the study of sex/gender differences. Recent research reports have established the importance of studying issues specific to women, including the scientific and clinical importance of analyzing data separately for females and males. ORWH is particularly interested in encouraging extramural investigators to undertake new interdisciplinary research to advance studies on how sex and gender factors affect women's health; however, applications in all areas of women’s health and/or sex/gender research are invited. IV. Title: Neuroscience Research on Drug Abuse PA Application Due Dates: see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/sub... Purpose: This FOA issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health, encourages Research applications from institutions/ organizations that are relevant to the understanding of the process(es) and mechanisms underlying drug abuse and addiction, including use, dependence, addiction, withdrawal, and treatment, and may be conducted using model systems, animals, and/or humans. See PA for more details: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-fi... (R01); http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-fi... (R21); http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-fi... (R03). V. NOT-DA-10-026 NIH Grantees can now purchase Lexicon mice through Taconic with funds from grants under the same terms as NIH contract Purpose: This Notice updates NOT-DA-08-015. Under NOT-DA-08-015 Lexicon made over 2,500 knockout mouse strains available for purchase by NIH funded investigators under the same terms as the contract NIH used to acquire knockout mice by using NIH grant money. These mice are no longer available directly through Lexicon but are now being made available through Taconic as the distributor of Lexicon mice http://www.taconic.com/NIH. Over 3600 KO mice are available http://kodatabase.taconic.com. To read more click NOT-DA-10-026. VI. NOT-NS-10-014 Notice of Availability of Administrative Supplements for the U.S.-JAPAN Brain Research Cooperative Program – U.S. Component Receipt Date: September 15, 2010, 2011, 2012 Earliest Anticipated Start Date: February 1, 2011 Purpose: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces the continuation of the United States (U.S.) component of the U.S.-Japan Brain Research Cooperative Program (BRCP). This administrative supplement program will provide funds to research projects supported by the participating NIH Institutes. The purpose of the BRCP is to promote scientist exchange, training, and research collaborations between neuroscientists from the U.S. and Japan. The U.S. component of the BRCP supports the following activities: 1) Visit of U.S. scientists to conduct collaborative research and/or to acquire advanced research skills in Japanese institutions, 2) Joint workshops to exchange scientific information and to foster collaborations. |
