Brain Imaging Studies of Negative Reinforcement in Humans (R21)
-
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, solicits exploratory/developmental grant (R21) applications from institutions and 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 preclinical studies, negative reinforcement has re-emerged as a contributing factor in the basic processes of substance abuse. The range of processes the human brain engages in to avoid aversive outcomes are much less well-understood than that of brain processes engaged by positive outcomes. For the purpose of this FOA, negative reinforcement and avoidance learning are considered synonymous and refer to behaviors and cognitive strategies that are learned and maintained in order to minimize or eliminate the occurrence of aversive events. Aversive events may be either environmental stimuli or internal states. Applications for this FOA are expected to propose exploratory, hypotheses-generating or proof-of-concept studies regarding the brain regions or processes in humans that underlie avoidance learning, including behaviors and cognitive strategies maintained by negative reinforcement. This FOA is also appropriate for the development of new tasks in humans that may be used in future brain-imaging studies to target specific brain-processing areas affected by negative reinforcement/avoidance learning. The studies proposed in response to this FOA may be conducted in healthy individuals, substance-abusing populations (current or abstinent), or individuals at risk for substance abuse. However, all applications must address how the proposed investigations are relevant to advancing the understanding of substance abuse.

Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents and Tumor Progression (R01)
-
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), invites applications for research projects that investigate the effects of Erythropoietin (EPO) on tumor cell growth. EPO has been widely used to relieve the anemia associated with renal failure. In addition, EPO and other erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) have recently been used to treat the anemia associated with cancer chemotherapy. However, several clinical trials involving administration of ESAs, have suggested that ESAs may accelerate tumor progression and increase mortality in cancer patients. It is therefore important to understand the biology of ESAs on tumor cell growth and apoptosis. The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate high quality research on the effects of ESAs on tumor cell biology and tumor progression.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing to develop in vitro and in silico (computational) models for developmental toxicity pathways. The STAR program is issuing this request for applications (RFA) for research that in conjunction with in vivo data will seek to integrate in vitro biochemical and cellular response data with computational models and theoretical or applied mathematic techniques. The research conducted under this RFA will facilitate the development of a predictive capacity for estimating outcomes or risk associated with particular toxicity processes as a result of developmental exposure to environmental pollutants and toxicants. Predictive computational modeling of core processes that drive development, including patterning, morphogenesis, selective growth and cell differentiation, and the detailed understanding of biological pathways that regulate these processes, have the potential to address environmental and human health factors with broad scientific or economic impacts.

Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)
-
The Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program seeks to catalyze a higher level of international engagement in the U.S. science and engineering community by supporting innovative, international research and education collaborations. The program will enable U.S. scientists and engineers to establish collaborative relationships with international colleagues in order to advance new knowledge and discoveries at the frontiers of science and engineering and to promote the development of a diverse, globally-engaged U.S. scientific and engineering workforce. International partnerships are, and will be, increasingly indispensable in addressing many critical science and engineering problems. As science and engineering discoveries result more and more from international collaboration, U.S. researchers and educators must be able to operate effectively in teams comprised of partners from different nations and cultural backgrounds. The PIRE program will support bold, forward-looking research whose successful outcome results from all partners-U.S. and foreign-providing unique contributions to the research endeavor. It is also intended to facilitate greater student preparation for and participation in international research collaboration, and to contribute to the development of a diverse, globally-engaged U.S. science and engineering workforce. The program aims to support partnerships that will strengthen the capacity of institutions, multi-institutional consortia, and networks to engage in and benefit from international research and education collaborations.

The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our nation's institutions of higher education, museums and science centers, and nonprofit organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering by providing shared instrumentation that fosters the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organization use is encouraged, as are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private-sector partners as appropriate for the goals of the MRI Program. To accomplish these goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development of shared research instrumentation that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other National Science Foundation (NSF) programs. For the purposes of the MRI program, proposals must be for either acquisition or development. Instruments are expected to be operational for regular research use by the end of the award period. A key recommendation of a 2006 National Academies report on "Advanced Research Instrumentation and Facilities" was that NSF should expand the MRI program so that it includes "midscale" instrumentation whose capital costs are greater than $2 million but with costs that are not appropriate for NSF's Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account. The MRI program now accepts proposals requesting over $2 million in NSF support (to the maximum request of $4 million) for the acquisition of a single instrument. For proposals requesting $2 million or less, investigators may seek support for instrument development or for acquisition of a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research focus.
