Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01)

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages investigators to submit research grant applications that will identify, develop, and refine effective and efficient methods, structures, and strategies to disseminate and implement research-tested health behavior change interventions and evidence-based prevention, early detection, diagnostic, treatment, and quality of life improvement services into public health and clinical practice settings. This FOA will use the National Institutes of Health Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PAR-10-039 and PAR-10-040, which encourage applications under the Small Grant (R03) and the Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanisms. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed 5 years. Applications for R01 awards are not limited in dollars but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed projects. Deadline: 2010-01-05; 2010-05-05; 2010-09-05

Selected Topics in Transfusion Medicine (R21)

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), encourages research grant applications from investigators who propose to study topics that will determine blood banking and transfusion practice. NHLBI is responsible for supporting research in blood banking and transfusion medicine. Research aimed at improving the safety and availability of the blood supply and the practice of transfusion medicine is critical to public health given that about 5 million patients receive blood transfusions every year in the United States. Because blood transfusions pose infectious and noninfectious risks to recipients, it is important to understand the determinants of transfusion-associated adverse events and how best to minimize transfusion risks. It is also crucial to maintain an adequate blood supply by minimizing the risks associated with the donation process and developing enhanced recruitment and retention programs. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PAR-10-034, which encourages applications under the R01 mechanism. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed 2 years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 2-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. Deadline: 2010-02-16; 2010-06-16; 2010-10-16

Transdisciplinary Research in Energetics and Cancer (U54)

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits applications for the centers for Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) in nutrition, physical activity, energy balance, obesity, and cancer. The TREC initiative is designed to foster collaboration across multiple disciplines and encompasses projects that cover the biology, genomics, and genetics of energy balance to behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental influences upon nutrition, physical activity, weight, energetics, and cancer risk. This initiative is open to all qualified candidates regardless of whether they participated in the previous issuance of the TREC program. Applicants responding to this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) should establish transdisciplinary research teams with the appropriate breadth of expertise. TREC has two main goals, which are: (1) to enhance knowledge of the current mechanisms underlying the association between energy balance and carcinogenesis (from cellular, animal, or human models to genetics and genomics and across the cancer continuum from causation and prevention) and (2) to explore and integrate the etiology of obesity behavior and relevant health behavior theories, with broad population impact at the social-environmental and policy levels for prevention and control of obesity. Special focus on children, groups at high risk for obesity, and cancer survivors is encouraged. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health Cooperative Agreement Specialized Centers (U54) funding mechanism. This FOA is accompanied by a separate limited competition U01 FOA (RFA-CA-10-501), which solicits renewal application for a TREC coordination center. For this TREC FOA, NCI has committed $15 million in total costs for fiscal year 2010 and $75 million in total costs over a 5-year period. Approximately six awards are expected in connection with this FOA. Deadline: 2010-01-26

Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risk Through Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (U34)

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health solicits 3-year Clinical Trials Planning Grant Cooperative Agreement (U34) applications from institutions or organizations for pilot studies evaluating the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using positive airway pressure (PAP). The purposes of these studies are twofold. First, the studies should be designed to provide information regarding feasibility of long-term (12 to 18 months) PAP treatment of OSA in patients at risk of cardiovascular disease. Second, the studies should provide data regarding the effects of PAP on surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk. Outcomes relevant for this funding opportunity announcement are broad and include a range of feasibility metrics (recruitment, retention, randomization, dose of PAP treatment, and design of control groups) and adherence outcomes (measures of patient acceptance of, satisfaction with, and adherence to PAP treatment); sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity; vascular dysfunction; inflammatory markers; platelet aggregation; and neuroendocrine and metabolic function. Populations that are at high risk for cardiovascular disease with established OSA and no prior history of PAP treatment will be the central focus of this initiative. Specific goals are to establish feasibility of long-term PAP treatment in high-risk individuals, to evaluate the potential for such treatment to produce changes in cardiovascular disease risk profiles, and to identify feasibility of study design strategies for future event-driven phase III clinical trials. NHLBI expects to commit up to $4.5 million (total costs) over 3 years. It is anticipated that two awards will be made. Awardees will be required to work cooperatively to facilitate cross-study activities, including collaborating on the development and use of key common measures, eligibility criteria, and assessment methods, and coordinating data and safety monitoring boards and steering committee meetings. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Budgets for direct costs of up to $500,000 per year and project duration of up to 3 years may be requested for a maximum of $1.5 million in direct costs over a 3-year project period. Adequate funds for the coordination of cross-study activities must be included in the budget. Deadline: 2009-12-21

Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation

Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) bold 5-year initiative to create revolutionary science and engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking. Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. Applied in challenging science and engineering research and education contexts, computational thinking promises a profound impact on the nation's ability to generate and apply new knowledge. Collectively, CDI research outcomes are expected to produce paradigm shifts in our understanding of a wide range of science and engineering phenomena and sociotechnical innovations that create new wealth and enhance the national quality of life. CDI seeks ambitious, transformative, and multidisciplinary research proposals within or across the following three thematic areas: (1) From Data to Knowledge: enhancing human cognition and generating new knowledge from a wealth of heterogeneous digital data; (2) Understanding Complexity in Natural, Built, and Social Systems: deriving fundamental insights on systems comprising multiple interacting elements; and (3) Virtual Organizations: enhancing discovery and innovation by bringing people and resources together across institutional, geographical, and cultural boundaries. With an emphasis on bold multidisciplinary activities that, through computational thinking, promise radical, paradigm-changing research findings, CDI promotes transformative research within NSF. Accordingly, investigators are encouraged to come together in the development of far-reaching, high-risk science and engineering research and education agendas that capitalize on innovations in, and/or innovative use of, computational thinking. CDI projects are expected to build upon productive intellectual partnerships involving investigators from academe, industry, and/or other types of organizations, including international entities, that advance CDI objectives within the rapidly evolving global context. Two types of CDI awards will be supported as a result of the fiscal year (FY) 2010 CDI competition: (1) Type I awards will require efforts up to a level roughly comparable to: summer support for two investigators with complementary expertise; two graduate students; and their collective research needs (e.g., materials, supplies, travel) for 3 years. (2) Type II awards will require larger (than Type I) efforts up to a level roughly comparable to: summer support for three investigators with complementary expertise; three graduate students; one or two senior personnel (including postdoctoral researchers and staff); and their collective research needs (e.g., materials, supplies, travel) for 4 years. The anticipated funding amount for FY 2010 is $36 million for 30 awards. Deadline: 2010-02-04; 2010-02-05

Geospace Environment Modeling

Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) is a broad-based, community-initiated research program on the physics of Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The purpose of the GEM program is to support basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global Geospace General Circulation Model (GGCM) with predictive capability. The exact structure of a GGCM may be modular or may consist of a "spine" such as a global magnetohydrodynamics model with links to special modules. The strategy for achieving GEM goals is to create a series of focus groups, each of which addresses a specific problem in understanding and modeling the magnetosphere. More information on the structure of the GEM program, the currently active focus groups, and the mechanism for creating a new focus group can be found at the GEM Wikipedia Web site. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. The typical award size is approximately $90,000 per year with a duration of 3 years. Proposers may request from 1 to 5 years of funding provided the requested duration is adequately justified. The maximum award size is $175,000 per year. The estimated number of awards is eight to 12 new awards in each year. Deadline: 2010-10-15
