The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) are committed
to evaluate the efficacy of specific pharmacological interventions to improve
outcomes in pediatric patients following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), by
supporting well-executed clinical trials. Before proceeding to a large
clinical trial, pilot clinical studies are often required. The NICHD and
NINDS are interested in supporting pilot studies required to obtain necessary
information to clearly establish the clinical basis for proceeding to a full-
scale trial. The purpose of a Pilot Clinical Trial Grant for Pharmacological
Interventions in Pediatric TBI is to obtain preliminary data and conduct
studies to support the rationale for a subsequent full-scale clinical trial
of pharmacological intervention.

The Congress of the United States enacted the National Research Service Act
(NRSA) Program in 1974 to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be
available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to carry out
the Nations biomedical and behavioral research agenda. Under this
congressional authority, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards NRSA
senior fellowships (F33) to experienced scientists who wish to make major
changes in the direction of their research careers or who wish to broaden
their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities. These
awards will enable individuals with at least seven years of research
experience beyond the doctorate, and who have progressed to the stage of
independent investigator, to take time from regular professional
responsibilities for the purpose of receiving training to increase their
scientific capabilities. In most cases, this award is used to support
sabbatical experiences for established independent scientists. This program
is not designed for postdoctoral level investigators seeking to prove their
research potential prior to independence. Potential applicants are
encouraged to discuss their plans with a contact from one of the Institutes
or Centers listed in the Inquiries Section.

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI, DHHS) and the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS, NIH) invite applications (R01) to
support research on research integrity. "Integrity in this context is
understood as adherence to rules, regulations, guidelines, and commonly
accepted professional codes or norms.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ,the
National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD),
and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite investigator-
initiated research grant proposals to study the effect of HIV-1 infection on
the peripheral nervous system and sensory organs. Although abnormalities of
the peripheral nervous system associated with HIV-1 infection are not
generally life threatening, they tend to occur relatively early in the course
of the disease and contribute significant morbidity. Prompt recognition and
effective treatment of these disorders could dramatically improve the quality
of life of the patient.

This is a revision and expansion of program announcement PA-99-017 that was
published in the NIH Guide on November 19, 1998 and will be active for 3
years from the release date noted above.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National
Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide National Research
Service Awards (NRSAs) to individuals for doctoral-level training. These
Institutes award NRSA individual predoctoral fellowships (F31) to promising
applicants with the potential to become productive, independent investigators
in the scientific mission areas of these Institutes. This program will
provide predoctoral training support for doctoral candidates that have
successfully completed their comprehensive examinations or the equivalent by
the time of award and will be performing dissertation research and training.

The overall goals of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke (NINDS)Career Transition Award (K22) program are to enable outstanding
individuals to obtain a research training experience in the NINDS Division of
Intramural Research and to facilitate their successful transition to an
extramural environment as independent researchers. The award will provide two
to three years of support for research training in a NINDS intramural
laboratory followed by two to three years of support for an independent
research project in an extramural institution. The combined duration cannot
exceed five years. It is anticipated that awardees will subsequently obtain
research project grants such as the R01 to support the continuation of their
work.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the
National Institute of Child Health Human Development (NICHD) and the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite exploratory/developmental research
grant applications (R21) to facilitate the translation of fundamental
neurobiology to pediatric brain disorders of anomalous development,
neurodegeneration, and injury. Emphasis is placed on cross-discipline
collaborations, novel hypotheses, and unique approaches in applying
fundamental neurobiological concepts to pediatric brain disorders. Special
consideration will be given to proposals that enhance the application of our
scientific knowledge to understanding the pathobiology and treatment of these
clinical disorders.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent and dangerous occurrence in the
United States, with approximately 2 million new cases each year. It is the
leading cause of mortality in persons under 45 years old, and a leading cause
of disability in all age groups. In adult age groups (ages 21-55) a moderate
or even "mild" TBI can result in lifelong deficits in cognition, behavior,
and emotional stability that can be described as decreased executive
functioning. Such problems impair employment, disrupt stable social
relationships and can isolate the individual to a narrow world of disability
and reduced opportunity. Researchers have defined many pathological events
that occur in the brain early after a TBI, and are beginning to define
behavioral consequences in more chronic periods, but the underlying
neurobiology for the deficits in executive functioning have not been defined.
Strategies to overcome the long-term consequences of TBI include cognitive-
behavioral intervention, pharmacological management, assistive technology,
environmental manipulation, education and counseling. Little research has
been done on the efficacy of these approaches. Use of functional imaging to
evaluate the circuitry involved in the cognitive/behavioral aspects of
executive function in TBI may reveal insights that could be applied to the
evaluation of such attempts at treatment. Therefore, the NINDS, the National
Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research in NICHD, and NIMH seek research
devoted to functional imaging of brain activity in brain-injured individuals
with complex cognitive deficits that constitute altered executive
functioning.
