Improving Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation Interventions and Programs in Low Income Adult Populations (R21)
WHAT: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), encourages research grant applications for projects designed to improve outcomes of smoking cessation in low income adult populations within the United States. Despite significant progress in reducing the prevalence of smoking in the United States, smoking continues to represent a major threat to public health. The long-term goal is to facilitate a significant reduction in smoking prevalence among low-income adults, thereby reducing the excess disease burden of tobacco use within these groups and decreasing the prevalence of smoking in the United States as a whole. WHO: Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. WHEN: Applications are due by November 24, 2008. AWARD AMOUNT: Four to six awards amounting up to $1,500,000.

Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation (CTOT) WHAT: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) invites new or renewal applications from groups of two or more institutions to participate in the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation (CTOT) consortium, a cooperative investigative group that will conduct multi-site clinical trials (Phase 1, 2, or 3) or observational clinical studies with associated studies of immunologic mechanisms, in recipients of thoracic and abdominal organ transplants. Research supported under this FOA will focus on studying the immune-mediated pathologic processes associated with organ transplantation, with the goal of improving the long-term outcome of recipients of thoracic and abdominal organ transplants. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Cooperative Agreement (U01) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIAID intends to commit a total of approximately $7 million to this initiative, and anticipate making 3 to 4 awards through this announcement. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. WHO: Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. WHEN: Applications are due by October 21, 2008. AWARD: Up to $7,000,000.

Pilot Clinical Trials of Pharmacotherapies for Substance Related Disorders (R01) WHAT: The purpose of this FOA is to support pilot clinical studies of medications for investigation as possible treatments for Substance Related Disorders (SRDs). Because the purpose of this FOA is to support pilot studies, preliminary studies are not required. This FOA does not support clinical studies of nicotine or alcohol related disorders, except as co-morbid disorders with other SRDs. NIDA expects to receive grant applications for clinical research on medications for which some theoretical or limited preclinical or clinical information exists for investigation as possible treatments of individual SRDs, combinations of them (i.e., cocaine and alcohol use, cocaine and cannabis use) or comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, but which are not ready to be tested in a large and expensive randomized clinical trial. This FOA will not accept proposals that involve preclinical studies. NIDA will not accept applications testing medications that have already demonstrated safety and efficacy for the target disorder. Therefore, there must be a strong rationale for the medications proposed for testing, but no preclinical or clinical data are required or expected. WHO: Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. WHEN: Applications are due by October 23, 2008. AWARD: Up to $3, 000, 000.

Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging (P30) WHAT: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Research and Development Center (P30) grant applications in the areas of demography and economics of aging, including relevant interdisciplinary areas rooted in population-based social science research. Center grant applications must include two mandatory cores and may choose among four optional cores. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Research and Development Center (P30) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NIA expects to make 8-13 awards totaling $6.6 million total costs in the first year, and $33 million total costs over the 5 year project period. WHO: Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. WHEN: Applications are due by October 30, 2008. AWARD: Up to $4,400,000.
