Advancing Novel Science in Women's Health Research (ANSWHR) (R03)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH) and co-sponsoring NIH institutes and centers (ICs), is to promote innovative, interdisciplinary research that will advance new concepts in womens health research and the study of sex/gender differences. Recent research reports have established the importance of studying issues specific to women, including the scientific and clinical importance of analyzing data separately for females and males. ORWH is particularly interested in encouraging extramural investigators to undertake new interdisciplinary research to advance studies on how sex and gender factors affect women's health; however, applications in all areas of womens health and/or sex/gender research are invited.

Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities (R01)
To encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) Public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing health gaps among groups. Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged.

This announcement updates and expands the NIH Directors Bridge Award (NDBA), which was initiated in FY 2007. The NDBA provides continued but limited bridge funding for meritorious investigators who just miss the funding cutoff and have minimal support from other sources. The continued funding will permit the Principal Investigator additional time to strengthen a resubmission application. An NDBA recipient will receive R56 awards for a single year.A pending, competing renewal research project grant (R01) application (original) or a resubmission application (A1, A2), which just misses the nominal funding payline for the IC to which it is primarily assigned may be nominated for the NDBA by the administering NIH Institute, provided the PI has less than $400,000 in other support (total costs) from all sources to fund her/his research. Note that only the most meritorious A2 applications will be considered for the NDBA. Applicants may not apply for an R56 grant and applicants may not self nominate for the NDBA.

Reducing Mental Illness Stigma and Discrimination (Collaborative R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and conceived in collaboration with the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), will provide funding for partnerships to assess the effectiveness of existing stigma and discrimination reduction programs and approaches, including media-oriented approaches such as public service announcements; develop innovative new programs and approaches; and examine the role of media in perpetuating and changing mental illness stigma and discrimination. These partnerships must include (1) consumer and/or advocate organizations, communities, or state and local agencies with hands-on expertise in developing and implementing stigma reduction programs and strategies, and (2) social, behavioral, and/or communication scientists with expertise in stigma research design and methodology. Partnerships to further information exchange with public stakeholders and organizations to improve the accuracy of public awareness about effective treatments for mental disorders; and to examine how service delivery organization and mental illness treatment financing (e.g., non-mental health parity, separate behavioral health insurers) impact mental illness stigma and discrimination are also appropriate.

Research on Interventions for Child Abuse and Neglect (R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research project grant (R01) applications focused on conducting efficacy and effectiveness trials of child abuse and neglect interventions. Specifically, this FOA solicits grant applications that include various levels of interventions. For those interventions that need preliminary research, applicants should consider additional mechanisms, which are used to establish efficacy, including the R21 and R34, as appropriate. However, given the public health need for children and families who experience the negative effects of child abuse and neglect, interventions in which preliminary developmental/exploratory work has already been undertaken, and pilot studies, or in some cases efficacy trials, have demonstrated positive change are strongly encouraged for R01 grant applications under this FOA. Of particular interest is the development of large scale trials designed to target either or both the victims or perpetrators of child abuse and neglect, including preventive interventions. Child abuse and neglect is a complex public health issue likely caused by a myriad of factors, including individual-, family-, and community-level elements. Thus, a research program focused on understanding and addressing these problems must necessarily draw upon interdisciplinary theories and approaches. One of the goals of this FOA is to bring together multi-disciplinary and translational perspectives encompassing basic biomedical, behavioral and social science research in mental health, physical health, public health and prevention, alcohol and substance abuse, neurology, injury, trauma and child development, to advance our knowledge of child abuse and neglect. Only projects proposing rigorous scientific research designs will be considered; service demonstrations or other types of service programs are not eligible for funding under this FOA.

Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research [deadline extended]
Application Deadline: 9/30/2008
The NIH hereby notifies Principal Investigators holding specific types of NIH research grants (listed in the full announcement) that funds are available for administrative supplements to improve the diversity of the research workforce by supporting and recruiting students, postdoctorates, and eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented. Although the administrative supplements supported under this program provide funding for less than one percent of all individuals involved in NIH supported research, the NIH has found these awards to be an effective means of encouraging institutions to recruit from currently underrepresented groups. Administrative supplements must support work within the scope of the original project.
All NIH awarding components participate in this program. Candidates eligible for support under this supplement program include individuals at various career levels who come from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in science. Such candidates include individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Detailed eligibility criteria are described in the full announcement.
