The purpose of this program is to create and broadly disseminate materials/programs to inform students and teachers in kindergarten- 12th grade about the field of neuroscience. Amount: $75,000 LOI: N/R Deadline: April 2, 2010 To learn more: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-DA-10-007.html Key Words: Neuroscience Notice of Availability of Administrative Supplements for Roadmap Assay Development for HTS Awards (National Institute for Neurological Disorders & Stroke) New NOT-NS-10-012 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) For 2010, administrative supplements will be provided to NINDS-relevant projects funded in the Roadmap Molecular Libraries Assay Development for HTS Program. Investigators successfully submitting new, HTS-ready projects from this Program to the MLPCN, via the “Fast Track direct entry” process described in the RM-08-024 announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM- 08-024.html), can request a supplement of up to $50,000 (total cost) from NINDS.

The goal of both initiatives is to provide support for translational research to develop therapeutics for reducing mortality and morbidity caused by acute exposures to chemical threat agents. Chemical threats are toxic chemicals that could be used in a terrorist attack or accidentally released from industrial production, storage or shipping. The scope of the research supported within this milestone-driven translational program includes target and candidate identification and characterization, through candidate optimization and demonstration of in vivo efficacy, through Investigational New Drug (IND) submission and clinical trials when appropriate. See www.ninds.nih.gov/counteract for a description of the CounterACT program. The CounterACT research program will utilize Research Centers of Excellence (U54) and Cooperative Research Projects (U01) to support up to 5 years of translational research. Chemical threats to be covered include pulmonary agents (e.g. chlorine, phosgene), toxic industrial chemicals (e.g. cyanide, pesticides), chemical nerve agents (e.g. sarin, VX), and others. The NIH intends to commit approximately $12 million per year in Fiscal Years 2011, 2012, and 2013 to fund new and/or competing renewal U01 and U54 awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend on the number, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. It is anticipated that several other NIH Institutes, including the National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), may also participate in this funding opportunity announcement.

The proposed studies must be within the scope of the peer-reviewed activities specified within the NINDS parent award and collaborators may not have a significant history of joint interactions. Amount: $50,000 LOI: Before submitting an application for a collaborative administrative supplement, all grantees should communicate with their Program Director(s) to discuss the planned application.

A goal of these Core Centers is to provide resources for a number of investigators with established, funded research projects, often from different disciplines, to adopt a synergistic approach to common research problems in rheumatic diseases and to ensure greater productivity than from each of the separate projects. This notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive proposals. The RFA is expected to be published in early 2010 with an expected receipt date of late summer, 2010.
