Title	Paul B. Beeson Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award in Aging (K23)
UNM Deadline	12/04/2009	Notes:
Agency Deadline	01/14/2010	Notes:
Description	The National Institute on Aging (NIA), the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), working in part with funds contributed by the John A. Hartford Foundation (http://www.jhartfound.org/ and The American Federation for Aging Research (http://afar.org/), are pursuing this initiative to sustain and promote the research careers of clinically trained individuals who are pursuing research careers in aging. The numbers of physicians and other clinically trained individuals who are committing to and sustaining independent research careers in the biomedical sciences remain inadequate to address the opportunities for translational research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and groundbreaking basic research being generated by advances in genetics, biomedical engineering, and other life sciences. Within the field of aging research the small numbers of individuals receiving training in geriatrics, and the smaller numbers pursuing research on aging remain inadequate to address the burgeoning needs of the rapidly growing older population. These needs require a substantial investment in current and future faculty who will devote their careers to advancing knowledge of effective prevention and management of illness and disabilities, and to inspire successive generations to do the same.
Comments	This program invites requests for three to five years of support. The actual duration of the award will depend upon the number of years of prior research experience and the demonstrated need for additional mentored experience to achieve research independence. Applicants may seek up to $200,000 (direct costs) per year. NIMH is interested in supporting investigators who will pursue clinical or health services research in mental disorders of late life, especially studies aimed at hastening the translation of behavioral science and neuroscience advances into innovations in clinical care. More details can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-10-011.html. The due date for full proposals to the agency is January 14, 2010.

Title	Engineered Nanomaterials: Linking Physical and Chemical Properties to Biology (U19)
UNM Deadline	12/04/2009	Notes:
Agency Deadline	01/22/2010	Notes:
Description	The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences invites applications that will (1) determine which physical or chemical characteristic of an engineered nanomaterial (ENM), or cluster of characteristics, is integral to ENM-molecular interactions in a cellular process or organ system and (2) relate these findings to potential health effects. NIEHS recognizes that three types of activities need to converge to accomplish this research agenda. The first activity should focus on a detailed understanding of how physical and chemical characteristics of ENMs influence their molecular interactions at the cellular level, while the second activity should determine how the physical and chemical characteristics critical to that interaction are associated with any observed physiological or pathobiological events. The third activity will capitalize on these multidisciplinary efforts through integration of biochemical, molecular, and physiological mechanisms to expand traditional hazard identification and health risk assessment. An extraordinary level of synergy, integration, and potential for advancement of ENM hazard identification and risk assessment is expected.
Comments	An applicant may request a project period of up to 5 years and a budget for direct costs up to $750,000 dollars per year. Each applicant will develop an overarching theme to address the potential health implications of ENMs and will craft an interdisciplinary research approach that incorporates a basic mechanistic understanding of ENM-biological interactions as dictated by the physical and chemical characteristic of ENMs. More details can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-09-011.html. The due for full proposals to the agency is January 22, 2010. This is a limited competition; each institution is limited to one proposal.

Agency Deadline	10/30/2009	Notes:
Description	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). The National Institutes of Health invites applications (R01) that propose the identification and development of new invertebrate models for pursuing biology of aging research. NIA has been given $2.0 million in funds to pursue this research. The anticipated number of NIA awards is 5 to 6.
Comments	This program invites applications for an up-to five-year project grant proposal. Applications may request up to, but not more than, $250,000 in direct costs. Applications should focus on the identification, development and characterization of new invertebrate models that have short life spans. Invertebrate models with tractable genetics and genome sequence available or in progress, negligible or induced senescence, and tissue regeneration in adults are of particular interest to NIA. Examples of invertebrate models of interest include, but are not limited to planaria, hydra, rotifers, and tunicates. These invertebrate models are currently not well developed for aging research. Within the scope of this FOA, invertebrate models other than those mentioned above currently used by the biomedical research community, but not yet fully developed or realized for aging research, will be considered responsive to this FOA. In particular, applications that focus on the characterization of these novel models for aging research utilizing molecular, genetic, cellular or physiological tools and approaches to identify genes involved in longevity, senescence and cellular pathways in tissue homeostasis during aging are encouraged. More details can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-10-004.html. The deadline date for full proposals is October 30, 2009.

Title	NICHD Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) FY10 (R24)
UNM Deadline	08/31/2009	Notes:
Agency Deadline	11/24/2009	Notes:
Description	The Program for Population Research Infrastructure seeks to advance scientific knowledge in areas related to the mission of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch. DBSB is one of three branches of the Center for Population Research of the NICHD. DBSB’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and populations by adding to knowledge about human population dynamics and their causes and consequences. DBSB supports demographic, behavioral, and social science research on fertility, families, population movement, health and mortality, HIV/AIDS, and population composition. Research on population diversity and change, studies of the consequences of population diversity and change for health and well-being, and research on the interrelationships among individual, family, group, community, and population processes are all central to this mission. To achieve these goals, DBSB fosters innovative and multi-disciplinary research by providing awards to individual investigators and research teams as well as supporting research training and infrastructure in the population sciences. DBSB defines 'population' as the aggregate collection of individuals in a defined geographic area and/or social or demographic group. Examples include the residents of New York City, married people in the United States, and African American children under age five. Aggregates defined by their participation in a study, program, or service are not considered populations under this definition.
Comments	This program invites applications for an up-to five-year project proposal. This FOA allows for two types of applications: (1) Standard PRIP Applications, which request funding for Research Support Cores and/or Developmental Infrastructure Cores, and may also request funding for Public Infrastructure Cores; and (2) Public Infrastructure Only Applications, which request funding only for Public Infrastructure Core(s).

Agency Deadline	06/10/2008	Notes: Researchers holding a faculty appointment at one of the more than 200 eligible institutions (includes UNM) may apply directly to HHMI in this competition, and institutional approval or endorsement is not part of the initial application.
Description	The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is pleased to announce a national competition to select as many as 70 outstanding early career scientists. This competition will enable HHMI to identify the nation's best biomedical scientists at a critical early stage of their faculty careers, and to provide them with flexible funding to develop scientific programs of exceptional merit. HHMI seeks scientists in all areas of basic biological and biomedical research, and in areas of chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering that are directly related to biology or medicine. This new program comes at a critical moment for the nation and the long-term health of its medical research infrastructure. This initiative responds to the very real challenges faced by promising early career-stage scientists in an era of constrained research funding. In today's environment, early career faculty find it difficult to establish and develop research programs. They often begin their first independent position with institutional start-up funds to support their research. However, they are soon under pressure to apply for federal research grants. Even if they are successful in obtaining funding the first time, getting a second grant or renewing a grant is difficult.
Comments	This competition is open to Institutions that have been invited by HHMI to participate. UNM has been invited to submit nominations.

Description	The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for the Training in Neuroimaging: Integrating First Principles and Applications (T90) limited competition. This funding opportunity will enable the development of novel, interdisciplinary training programs that integrate comprehensive training in basic neuroscience, the physical and biological bases of neuroimaging, the technologies of in vivo neuroimaging, and the application of these technologies to understanding questions in neuroscience across the life span. Development of such novel, interdisciplinary training programs in vivo will further address contemporary issues in neuroscience. The goal of these training programs is to train the next generation of neuroimaging researchers who understand the underlying principles and the technologies of neuroimaging as well as their application to experimental questions in neuroscience. To realize this goal, it is imperative to recruit and expose students early in their careers to the ways in which their interests can be applied to questions in neuroscience through the mathematical, physical, and chemical principles of neuroimaging. Training programs are required to interface trainees from the quantitative, engineering, and physical/chemical sciences with trainees from biomedical/biological disciplines in the same integrated training program.
Comments	This is a limited competition. UNM may submit only a single application in response to this RFA.
