NIH Requests Applications for $120 Million in Research Grants
A heads-up for Bitesize Bio readers: The U.S. National Institutes of Health last week issued Requests for Applications (RFAs) for approximately $120 million in grants to aid research on alcoholism, cancer biomarkers, fertility, mentoring, and pathogens relevant to biodefense, among other areas.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) asks for $50-$55 million worth of plans for biomarker research and $25-$30 million for cancer intervention and surveillance modeling.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is asking for applications for $20 million to be available in FY 2010 for research on enterics and for investigation of agents relevant to biodefense.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) is looking for research plans in its programs for Core, Specialized, and Comprehensive Research centers, which would receive approximately $8-13 million in fiscal year 2011.
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks $8 million in 2010 proposals for research on rehabilitation and fertility preservation.
And to support career development, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is offering $3.8 million for mentoring and diversity programs.
