Title Collaborations for Macromolecular Interactions in Cells
Deadline June 14, 2012
Funding organization NIH/NIGMS
FOA number RFA-GM-13-004
Amount $250,000/year
Project timeline 4 years
Note The purpose is to establish inter-disciplinary collaborative projects to advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. These collaborations are designed to integrate additional research strategies into NIGMS' research base of laboratories specializing in macromolecular function in living systems. Grantees may use this funding opportunity to (i) complement each other's capabilities, where the innovation is in the biology rather than in the technology; (ii) apply proven technologies that are technically challenging, expensive, or not yet widely used in cell biology and allied fields; (iii) develop, pilot, evaluate, and/or apply emerging technologies; (iv) carry out feasibility studies or upstream research and development of new technological concepts that are unproven, but potentially useful for study of macromolecular interactions.

Title NIMHD Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Initiative in Reducing and Eliminating Health Disparities: Planning Phase NEW!
Deadline June 27, 2012
Funding organization NIH/NIMHD
FOA number RFA-MD-12-006
Amount $250,000/year
Project timeline 3 years
Note Applicants should propose a three-year plan to develop and strengthen a partnership with a defined health disparity community and a plan for intervention research using the principles of CBPR. The three-year CBPR plan should include: community needs assessment, plans to identify the disease/condition for intervention research, and plans to develop the intervention methodology during the first year of the grant. During the second and third year, a pilot intervention research study must be conducted. The project must include co-leadership by research and community partners, and all activities proposed in the application must include substantial input from the targeted community using CBPR principles.
