Prescription Drug Abuse R01 – PA-13-015
NIDA encourages a broad range of research strategies to address the problem of prescription drug abuse. Across proposed research strategies, there is an interest in stimulating the development and integration of novel technologies (e.g., genetic, imaging, proteomic, and/or metabolomic methodologies) to observe and understand the etiology and biological and behavioral mechanisms associated with prescription drug abuse. Budgets expected to be up to $500K/year for five years. Application window January 2013-January 2016. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-015.htmlhttp://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&oppId=204733

Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series (R13) Grant
Seeking applications to conduct health disparities-related meetings, workshops,
and symposia. The purpose of the Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series
is to bring together academic institutions/organizations and community organizations
to identify opportunities for addressing health disparities through the use of Community-Based
Participatory Research (CBPR). The objectives of meetings conducted as part of this
award will be to: (1) establish and/or enhance academic-community partnerships;
(2) identify community-driven research priorities, and (3) develop long-term collaborative
CBPR research agendas. Thus, it is expected these partnerships will lead to grant
applications for the support of CBPR projects designed to meet identified community
needs. The areas of focus for these partnerships may include one or more of the
following community-health issues: infant mortality; Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS); fibroid tumors; childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; health literacy;
techniques for outreach and information dissemination; pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS
prevention; and violence prevention. Deadline is October 17, 2013.

Administrative Supplements for Collaborative Science: Opportunities for Existing
NIDCR Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Admin Supp) Grant
The NIDCR announces the availability of funds for Administrative Supplements to
NIDCR-funded research projects. These funds are intended to enhance ongoing research
by enabling NIDCR-funded researchers to form new collaborations that were not anticipated
at the time of submission, review and funding of the NIDCR parent
grant. These collaborative activities must be within the scope of the approved aims
of the parent award and are expected to provide novel scientific approaches to the
research plan for the NIDCR grantee and collaborators. Collaborations that bring
together ideas, theories, methods and approaches from disparate scientific disciplines
are particularly encouraged, as are those involving individuals from groups that
are currently underrepresented in the biomedical and biobehavioral sciences.
Deadline is May 30, 2014.
