Expiration Date: Thursday, February 2, 2006 NOFO Number: PA-02-165 Release Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 Notice Type: PA
Expiration Date: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 NOFO Number: PA-02-156 Release Date: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 Notice Type: PA
Dystonia is defined clinically as involuntary, often sustained, co-
contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles causing abnormal and often
painful postures or movements. It is generally believed to be centrally
mediated. Dystonia occurs due to many different etiologies. Although the
prevalence and disease burden of this group of disorders is not well known,
it is estimated by some sources that this debilitating movement disorder
affects over 500,000 individuals in the USA. Some forms of dystonia are
associated with specific genetic and/or environmental risk factors, but the
underlying pathophysiological pathways remain elusive. The purpose of this
program announcement is to solicit applications for new studies on the
underlying causes of human dystonia, secondary consequences of these movement
disorders, and potential therapeutic strategies for treating these
conditions.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2004 NOFO Number: PA-02-147 Release Date: Friday, August 9, 2002 Notice Type: PA
The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to encourage the submission
of applications for research to enhance animal stem cells as model biological
systems. Research to isolate, characterize and identify totipotent and
multipotent stem cells from nonhuman biomedical research animal models, as
well as to generate reagents and techniques to characterize and separate
those stem cells from other cell types is encouraged. Innovative approaches
to the problems of making multipotent stem cells available from a variety of
nonhuman sources, and to creating reagents that will identify those stem
cells across species and allow for separation of multipotent stem cells from
differentiated cell types, will be stressed. Studies involving human
subjects are not allowed under this PA. This PA supersedes PA-01-076 issued
earlier by the NCRR.
Expiration Date: Saturday, November 20, 2004 NOFO Number: PAR-02-142 Release Date: Friday, August 2, 2002 Notice Type: PAR
This Program Announcement (PA) is to encourage investigator-initiated
applications for research designed to exploit the power of mutagenesis
screening in zebrafish in order to detect and characterize genes, pathways,
and phenotypes of interest in development and aging, organ formation,
behavior, and disease processes. Applications that propose to advance the
technologies associated with such phenotyping also are welcome. A secondary
goal of this PA is to ensure that tools developed under this initiative are
widely available to the research community. This PA is a continuation of the
program initiated by RFA HD-00-004, "Mutagenesis Screens/Phenotyping Tools for
Zebrafish" (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-00-004.html),
and incorporates an earlier PA, "Development of Zebrafish Mutagenesis and
Screening Tools" (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-01-070.html).
This effort stems from an NIH initiative with participation of the Institutes
and Centers listed above, working though the Trans-NIH Zebrafish Coordinating
Committee (TZCC; http://www.nih.gov/science/models/zebrafish/)
under the co-chairmanship of NICHD and NIDDK. Since its formation in 1997,
the committee has played an active role as an advocate for the zebrafish as an
important model for development and disease research.
Expiration Date: Sunday, July 31, 2005 NOFO Number: PAR-02-139 Release Date: Friday, July 26, 2002 Notice Type: PAR
Recent discoveries across a broad range of research areas in the
neurosciences offer promising opportunities for treatment of neurological
disorders. As part of its mission to reduce the burden of neurological
disease, NINDS is committed to encouraging the "translation" of these
discoveries into new treatments. The goal of this PA is to implement a
program of cooperative agreements that will support milestone-driven projects
focused on the identification and pre-clinical testing of new therapeutics.
The program will facilitate the effective review and research administration
of translational research projects and will accelerate the translation of
discoveries in basic research to treatment in the clinic.
Expiration Date: Sunday, July 31, 2005 NOFO Number: PAR-02-140 Release Date: Friday, July 26, 2002 Notice Type: PAR
Recent discoveries across a broad range of research areas in the neurosciences
offer promising opportunities for improved therapies for neurological disorders.
As part of its mission to reduce the burden of neurological disease, NINDS is
committed to encouraging the "translation" of these basic discoveries into new
treatments. The goal of this PA is to announce a career development opportunity
for new investigators to build a program of translational research in
neurological disorders under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
Expiration Date: Sunday, July 31, 2005 NOFO Number: PAR-02-138 Release Date: Friday, July 26, 2002 Notice Type: PAR
NINDS encourages translational research projects that focus on neurological
disorders. This PA requests applications for exploratory/developmental
projects intended to discover potential targets for therapeutic intervention,
to identify candidate therapeutics, or to develop assays, animal models,
devices, or technologies for screening or developing therapeutics. Such
projects, if successful, should lead directly to a therapy development
project for a particular neurological disorder.
Expiration Date: Friday, February 25, 2005 NOFO Number: PA-02-141 Release Date: Friday, July 26, 2002 Notice Type: PA
Biomedical research laboratories occasionally undertake a software
development project to solve a problem the laboratory faces. These software
packages sometimes evolve into a well-designed system that can be easily
extended and that is useful to a much broader community other than the
members of the originating laboratory. The goal of this PA is to support the
continued development, maintenance, testing and evaluation of existing
software. The proposed work should apply best practices and proven methods
for software design, construction and implementation to extend the
applicability of existing bioinformatics/computational biology software to a
broader biomedical research community.
Expiration Date: Thursday, March 30, 2006 NOFO Number: PA-02-136 Release Date: Thursday, July 25, 2002 Notice Type: PA
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin
Diseases (NIAMS), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
encourage investigator-initiated research grant applications to
isolate, characterize and identify precursor cells required for normal
growth and repair of injured, aged, or diseased muscle. Goals include
determining factors responsible for migration, proliferation, and
differentiation of precursor cells following muscle injury or increased
exercise. This includes characterizing molecular controls responsible
for the quiescence of muscle satellite cells and determining metabolic
and motile properties of satellite cells while they are quiescent.
Researchers are encouraged to develop strategies using muscle satellite
and stem cells in therapies for human disease and enhanced repair of
muscle injury and as cellular vectors of genes.
Expiration Date: Saturday, October 26, 2002 NOFO Number: RFA-HD-02-023 Release Date: Monday, July 22, 2002 Notice Type: RFA
Pharmacological compounds have the potential to enhance functional recovery
in rehabilitation, especially when used in conjunction with behavioral and
physical therapy. This Request for Applications (RFA) supports studies
relevant to the treatment of neurological conditions such as stroke, brain
trauma, spinal cord injury, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative
disorders, infections, and neurosurgery. Applications in response to this
RFA must focus on rehabilitative strategies rather than the reduction of
acute pathology. They may include studies involving synaptic plasticity,
neurotransmitter interactions, neurotrophic mechanisms, pain or fatigue, or
any other neurological mechanisms that accelerate the recovery process,
enhance function or reduce disability. Studies in validated animal models
may be proposed, provided they include appropriate functional outcomes.
Pilot clinical trials in humans may also be considered.
