Program Announcements

The Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) Initiative seeks to combine a traditional mentored postdoctoral research experience at a research-intensive institution with an opportunity to allow the candidate to develop teaching skills through innovative programs that involve mentored assignments at a Minority Serving Institution.

The Division of Mathematical Sciences in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at the National Institutes of Health plan to support research in mathematics and statistics related to mathematical biology research.

The MARC Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) program supports institutional training grants for underrepresented minority junior and senior honors students in biomedical research to improve their preparation for graduate training in the biomedical/behavioral sciences.

The program project grant mechanism is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual regular research grants.

The Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Genetic and Genomic Research (ELSI) Education Grant (R25) is a flexible program aimed at developing innovative educational approaches that will increase knowledge and understanding of genetics and genomics research and its ethical, legal and social implications.

This program announcement is designed to solicit research projects that anticipate, analyze, and address the ethical, legal, and social implications of the discovery of new genetic technologies and the availability and use of genetic information resulting from human genetics and genomic research.

The purpose of this program announcement 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.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) support the application of electron microscopy (EM) to a broad range of problems in molecular and cellular biology.

The goal of this program announcement is to promote the development of the technology of high resolution electron microscopy so that it can be applied together with complementary structural approaches for (1) routine determination of the atomic structures of isolated macromolecular assemblies and (2) the analysis of the spatial distribution of macromolecules in cells.

The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to encourage research on the development of methodology and technology underpinning the emerging field of structural genomics, whose goal is the understanding of protein structural families, structural folds, and the relation of structure and function.

The purpose of this SBIR/STTR program announcement (PA) is to encourage research on the development of methodology and technology underpinning the emerging field of structural genomics, whose goal is the understanding of protein structural families, structural folds, and the relation of structure and function. Projects related to high throughput structure determination by x-ray crystallography and NMR, as well as those addressing other constituent tasks of structural genomics, are relevant to this PA.

This program announcement seeks research projects concerned with mechanisms of long-term injury, whole-body effects, long-term consequences, and potential interventions for secondary conditions that accompany primary disability.

The participating institutes in this program announcement invite research grant applications to conduct studies on microbial biofilms leading to improved strategies and technologies to diagnose, prevent and treat biofilm-associated infectious diseases.

The purpose of this program announcement is to stimulate research into identifying the critical candidate proteins and/or genes that play essential roles in determining individual variations in drug responses.

The NIH institutes participating in this program announcement encourage investigator-initiated research project grant applications to study mechanisms underlying analgesic response and pain to advance the development of novel pain interventions, treatments and management strategies.

The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to solicit applications for ultidisciplinary, methodologically rigorous programs of neuroscience research that will use advanced techniques for statistical and molecular genetic analysis in human and animal populations to elucidate the genetic basis of complex behaviors.

The purpose of this program announcement is to provide support for short courses or workshops to assist scientists in preparing for research on complex phenotypes and complex systems.

The purpose of this initiative is to support new studies on the architecture of complex phenotypes, including research using human and model systems as well as research using theoretical approaches.

The purpose of this program announcement is to advertise National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) interest in supporting research projects that develop quantitative approaches to describe, analyze, and predict the behavior of complex biological systems, especially those requiring the integration of potentially large amounts of molecular, biochemical, cell biological, and physiological data. Such studies, adapted to the analysis of complex systems in humans, will ultimately have an impact on the treatment of human disorders and disease.

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) is reannouncing its interest in receiving applications for the study of the molecular mechanisms of action of general and local anesthetics.

The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to encourage research that will expand the conceptual and experimental basis of metabolic engineering.  Basic research that contributes to a quantitative understanding of the integration and control of genetic, catalytic, and transport processes that comprise metabolism is encouraged, as is research to create techniques that facilitate the exploitation of metabolic processes for biomedical uses.

The MORE Faculty Development Award provides support for eligible faculty to spend the summer (or one academic term) every year for two to five years in full-time research in a research-intensive laboratory.
