Functional Modeling of Pediatric Upper Airway Disorders (R01) RFA-HL-10-017

Deadline Date:  01/12/2010

The ultimate goal of this program is to develop novel approaches that will identify targets for intervention to correct obstruction of airflow through the upper airway. This program will require collaborations among experts in computational modeling (mathematicians/bioengineers) with clinician scientists (e.g. pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, craniofacial surgeons, and/or radiologists). Use of the multiple PI mechanism is encouraged. Only human studies will be supported.

Funding: 650,000 per year (for up to four years)

Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)


 
Technologies for Image-Guided Interventions (R01) RFA-EB-09-002

Deadline Date:  01/20/2010

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits research project grant (R01) applications that propose high-impact technologies for image-guided interventions. As defined here, image-guided interventions (IGI), integrate images for navigation during a treatment or biopsy. The goal of the IGI initiative is to produce technologies that will replace current treatments with minimally invasive, image-guided interventions.

Funding: $750,000 per year (for up to five years)

Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

 
Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) NSF 09-611

Deadline Date:  01/26/2010

This program is a continuation of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) that began in FY 1998 as part of the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). The goal of the NPGI is to develop a basic knowledge of the structures and functions of plant genomes and translate this knowledge to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of economically important plants and plant processes of potential economic value.

Funding: Various

Sposor: National Science Foundation (NSF)
Directorate for Biological Sciences

HIV Vaccine Research and Design (HIVRAD) Program (P01)

Deadline Date:  07/13/2011

The HIV Vaccine Research and Design (HIVRAD) Program, a multi-project, multidisciplinary HIV/AIDS prophylactic vaccine-related funding mechanism is one mechanism that may be used for support of the research priorities identified at the NIAID Vaccine Summit held in March of 2008.

Funding: Unspecified

Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

 
Dissecting the Early HIV Immune Response: A Systems Biology Approach (P01) RFA-AI-09-018

Deadline Date:  12/01/2009

This program solicits applications that propose systems biology analyses of early immune responses to HIV/SIV exposure or infection.

Funding: $2.5 million per year (for up to five years)

Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)

 
NIH Loan Repayment Programs

Deadline Date:  12/01/2009

NIH wants to encourage outstanding health professionals to pursue careers in biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research. If you commit at least two years to conducting qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit organization or U.S. federal, state, or local government entity, NIH may repay up to $35,000 of your qualified student loan debt per year, including most undergraduate, graduate, and medical school loans. Loan repayment benefits are in addition to the institutional salary you receive for your research.

Funding: Up to $35,000 Annually

Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

 
R&D on Human Biospecimen Integrity - ST10-1005 (ARRA, Recovery Act)

Deadline Date:  12/14/2009

A primary goal of this RFP is to support the development and broad dissemination of biospecimen integrity assessment tools, protocols, and QA/QC measures needed to yield reproducible, high-quality data from research and development efforts that utilize biospecimens.

Specifically, it is anticipated that research supported by this RFP will (1) enable greater reproducibility and higher quality data from biospecimens and advance the state of cancer research; and (2) lead to the development and adoption of scientific evidence-based, standardized biospecimen handling procedures and tools for use in research and clinical procedures.


 
The George Bennett Fellowship in Writing

Deadline Date:  Deadline Date: 12/01/2009

The purpose of the George Bennett Fellowship is to provide time and freedom from material considerations to a person seriously contemplating or pursuing a career as a writer.

Funding: It provides for one academic year a stipend (at present $13,000), as well as housing and meals for this person and family, at Academy expense.

Sponsor: George Bennett Fellowship
