Consistent with the stated mission of the National Insti tute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) , which is to support "basic biomedical research that is not targeted to specific diseases, but that increases understanding of life processes...," the rationale behind this RFA is that advances in fundamental, enabling methodologies for di versity-oriented synthesis will produce lasting benefits for all of bio medical science, including biology and medicine (RFA-GM-01-006)

As identified by the recently convened National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Blue Ribbon Panel on Bioterrorism and Its Implications for Biomedical Research, there is a critical need for the establishment of highly developed research and development infrastructure with strong translational research capacity to implement the Biodefense Research Agenda of NIAID (RFA-AI-02 031)

It is expected that a transdisciplinary approach will bring diverse and multiple scientific perspectives to catalyze new thinking about prevention research ques tions. The scientific interactions and collaborations supported by this center model are intended to maximize scientific creativity and stimu late new developments in the field of drug abuse prevention research more rapidly than would be possible by depending on individual inves tigators working in relative isolation (RFA-DA-02-005)

for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research. The intent of the RCE Program is to support any substantial range of research, training, and development activities as long as the plan involves vibrant, multidisciplinary ap proaches that transcend customary thinking and organizational struc tures to address critical questions related to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

The aim is to assemble teams of peer reviewed, federally funded, basic and clinical neuroscience investigators from diverse institutions by provid ing additional excellent shared computer sciences research resources and facilities (e.g., for hardware and software development, and/or computer facilities, data processing and analysis) for their coordinated, collaborative activities (PAR-03-037)

application...the STAART Centers Program will represent a substantial increase in the scope of the scientific enterprise related to this disorder, particularly as it provides a specific emphasis on and direct funding for treatment research (RFA-MH-02-001)

Network for Translational Research: Optical Imaging. Developments that successfully translate to clinically feasible or research-oriented in struments and methods are expected to stimulate investigator-initiated applications for clinical and basic research grants under other support mechanisms, such as the R01, R21, R21/R33, R33, R41, R42, R43, and R44 (RFA-CA-03-002)

. Because it is intended that the these prevention research centers will provide ideal settings for training future generations of drug abuse prevention re searchers in transdisciplinary sciences and translational perspectives, TPRC applications must have strong career development objectives (RFA-DA-02-005)

. · Existence of a network of coordinated research activities with greater capacity than any single center, for example, in recruiting larger numbers of patients into common research protocols, pooling patient data and biological specimens on the scale necessary to identify biomarkers for disease risk, disease activity and severity, and clinical outcome, and improving methods and technologies.

From page 191... ...
The goal of this Request for Applications is to organize a consortium with flexibility in scope, funding, and incentives to encourage inter- and intrateam col laborations on translational cancer research ... by developing a consen sus process to improve methods for system integration, optimization and validation of next-generation in vivo optical imaging and/or spec troscopy methods and technologies, including contrast agents (RFA CA-03-002)

From page 192... ...
This Research Core Center PA is an institutional award...to support central ized resources and facilities shared by two or more investigators with existing funded research projects. Its goal is to encourage integrative, collaborative, interdisciplinary research approaches to more effectively and efficiently solve significant questions in basic and clinical neuro science, that cross institutional and disciplinary boundaries (PAR-03 037)
|
From page 193... ...
The low level of involvement of minority institutions in reproductive science and the lack of sufficient training opportunities for minority scientists represent two major obstacles to developing an effective research effort aimed at addressing significant health dispari ties. This initiative will support the development of an enhanced re search infrastructure in reproductive science at these institutions.
