Expiration Date: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 NOFO Number: PAR-00-102 Release Date: Thursday, June 29, 2000 Notice Type: PAR
Expiration Date: Monday, June 23, 2003 NOFO Number: PA-00-109 Release Date: Thursday, June 22, 2000 Notice Type: PA
The purpose of this Program Announcement (PA) is to solicit applications to
expand research on established self-management interventions to multiple
chronic diseases across the life-course. Interventions aimed at chronic
disease self-management are numerous and many are well described in the
literature. They are often presented as specific to a particular chronic
disease. This PA encourages applicants to investigate the applicability of
effective self-management interventions to a broader spectrum of chronic
diseases. Chronic disease, for this announcement, is defined as illnesses that
are prolonged, are rarely cured completely, and require self-management
behaviors by affected individuals and/or their caretakers.

are revisions of PA-94-059, which was published in the NIH Guide on
April 29, 1994.
Under this PA, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National
Institute on Aging (NIA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
(NIAAA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse
(NIDA), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
invite research grant applications to expand basic research on the processes and
mechanisms involved in the experience and expression of emotion.
Expiration Date: Friday, August 18, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-005 Release Date: Monday, April 24, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
In response to new research discoveries on parkin in the neurodegeneration of
Parkinsons Disease, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke (NINDS) invites qualified investigators to submit grant applications
for focused studies of the role of parkin and related proteins in Parkinsons
disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
The overall purpose of this initiative is to support and stimulate focused
studies of the role of parkin and related proteins in Parkinsons and other
neurodegenerative diseases to elucidate potential common mechanisms relevant
to neurodegeneration.
Expiration Date: Sunday, April 6, 2003 NOFO Number: PA-00-088 Release Date: Thursday, April 6, 2000 Notice Type: PA
The purpose of this Program Announcement (PA) is to stimulate ground-based
research on basic, applied, and clinical biomedical and behavioral problems
that are relevant to human space flight or that could use the space
environment as a laboratory. Although none of the research supported under
this initiative would be conducted in space, it is anticipated that it would
form a basis for future competitively reviewed studies which could be
conducted on the International Space Station, or other space flight
opportunities, by skilled on-board specialists.
Expiration Date: Thursday, November 16, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-006 Release Date: Monday, March 27, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is
interested in promoting collaborations among junior investigators
(Postdoctoral Fellows through Assistant Professors, or equivalent) to
stimulate translational research in the field of epilepsy. This
exploratory grants program is being issued in conjunction with the
White House-initiated, NIH-sponsored conference, "Curing Epilepsy:
Focus on the Future." To this end the NINDS invites
exploratory/developmental research grant applications (R21) in patient-
oriented research, developmental neurobiology, genetics, advanced
technology, imaging, pharmacotherapeutics, or other research areas,
which are likely to lead to the cure of epilepsy (defined as "the
prevention of epilepsy before it occurs in people at risk, and the
cessation of seizures without therapy-associated side effects in those
who develop the disease"). Emphasis will be placed on cross-
disciplinary collaborations, novel hypotheses, and unique approaches in
applying fundamental neurobiological concepts to epilepsy research.
Special consideration will be given to proposals that enhance the
application of scientific knowledge to the understanding and treatment
of the disorder. This initiative requires collaborations of two or
more junior investigators at different institutions, or in different
laboratories within the same institution. Investigators already
working together at the same department are not eligible.
Expiration Date: Thursday, October 12, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-001 Release Date: Thursday, March 9, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
Motor vehicular accidents, sports accidents, and assaults result in
about 10,000 new cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) every year in the
United States. Damaged nerve fibers within the cord cease to relay
signals between the brain and the rest of the body, depending on the
site of damage along the spinal cord, these injuries can interfere with
breathing, bowel and bladder function, and result in paraplegia or
quadriplegia. New findings on the molecular regulation of axonal
pathfinding and synapse formation during development suggest that
similar mechanisms could lead to more robust and directed nerve regrowth
in adulthood, and the restoration of connections within the damaged
spinal cord. However, more information is needed on the expression of
such signals in the normal and injured adult spinal cord. In order to
stimulate research in this area, the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites applications for support of pilot
studies that extend the new discoveries in developmental neurobiology to
stimulate axonal regeneration, guidance, and synaptogenesis within the
injured spinal cord. Researchers with expertise in development and
other disciplines are encouraged to initiate exploratory studies leading
to a better understanding of the basic mechanisms that contribute to
repair and plasticity after spinal cord injury.
Expiration Date: Thursday, July 27, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-004 Release Date: Thursday, March 9, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
The purpose of this RFA is to solicit research on the etiology and treatment
of spinal muscular atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and other motor
neuron diseases. Considerable progress has been made in recent years toward
understanding the biological bases of these diseases. In particular,
important steps have been taken in identifying the genetic defects underlying
certain motor neuron diseases, and in the development of animal models for
these diseases. However, much remains to be learned about the mechanisms
through which genetic mutations and other biological insults lead to
pathology, and how these mechanisms may be manipulated therapeutically. This
RFA will solicit novel approaches to understanding and treating motor neuron
diseases, with emphasis on cellular, molecular, and high throughput
approaches.
Expiration Date: Friday, August 18, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-002 Release Date: Thursday, March 9, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
In response to new research interest in the role of the synapse in the
mechanisms of neurodegeneration, the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites qualified investigators to submit grant
applications for focused studies of the synaptic function of hallmark
proteins of neurodegenerative diseases to elucidate potential common
mechanisms relevant to synapse loss and neurodegeneration. Although not
formally participating in this request for applications, the National
Institute on Aging is interested in research on the function of synaptic
proteins in synapse loss and neurodegeneration in the aging nervous system.
Expiration Date: Friday, August 18, 2000 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-01-003 Release Date: Thursday, March 9, 2000 Notice Type: RFA
To stimulate increased research interest in the role of mitochondria in the
mechanisms of neurodegeneration, the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS) invite qualified investigators to submit grant
applications for focused studies of mitochondria-mediated effects on the
function of living neurons that may be important in the development of
disease.
