Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24)
# In the pursuit of alcohol-related research, resources are occasionally developed that are used by and benefit the broader alcohol research community and are shared with scientists at both the resource developer's home institution and at external institutions. While support for maintenance of these resources is often provided through a Regular Research Project Grant (R01) award or the core of an Alcohol Research Center (P50), situations may arise in which continued support of the resource through any or all of these instruments is not feasible. For example, demand for the resource by individuals from outside the home institution may exceed the capacity of support available through an investigator's R01 or an institution's P50. As well, the developers of the resource may have a reduced need for the resource, while other investigators continue to benefit from the resource.The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide general support of already established research resources that serve the alcohol research community. Under special circumstances, the mechanism may be used to support development of a new resource. It is anticipated that the request for resource support through the research resource grant (R24) mechanism will occur on an infrequent basis and only in circumstances where other mechanisms of support from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) are not appropriate. Applicants must demonstrate an interest in the resource by investigators from at least three different institutions, one of which may be their home institution.

Functioning of People with Mental Disorders (R01)
Although considerable advances have been made in improving the symptoms associated with mental disorders, symptom improvement is often only modestly associated with improvements in daily functioning (i.e., the performance of social, occupational, and instrumental tasks of daily living), and most current treatments have limited impact on the functioning and participation of those with mental disorders. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is the application of biobehavioral science methods and approaches to: a) develop and refine definitions and measures of function, disability, and daily participation relevant to those with mental disorders; b) understand the ecological mechanisms, independent of symptom severity, that contribute to functioning and disability in this population; and c) develop and test novel interventions that specifically and directly target functional capacity and performance deficits of this population. Emphasis will be on the application of basic behavioral processes (e.g., cognition, affect, knowledge, attitudes, motivation, learning, decision-making, interpersonal processes), and environmental parameters (e.g., social support, structural adaptations, community involvement) that influence functional outcome.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Research Project (R01) grant applications from applicant organizations to develop theoretically grounded approaches to prevention of HIV infection and transmission that incorporate biobehavioral approaches in studies that are culturally appropriate. Biobehavioral approaches may be biomedical, or they may consist of behavioral interventions using biological markers of efficacy. Sociocultural appropriateness involves, at minimum, application of knowledge of the norms, beliefs and values of potential research subjects in varied contexts, and an appreciation of culture as dynamic. It is anticipated that such knowledge will improve both the quality and applicability of research among the diverse populations affected by the pandemic, in the US or abroad. Intervention and pre-intervention studies are welcomed, but descriptive ethnographic and epidemiological research is still needed in some areas. For example, descriptive research may delineate the impact of cultural variables on behaviors that impede or promote biological markers (e.g., seroconversion), lead to a better understanding of ethical concerns in biomedical preventive studies, or may illuminate as yet unrecognized issues concerned with adherence to a prevention interventions. Intervention studies should evaluate the efficacy of biomedical interventions, or of behavioral interventions that also use biological variables, in light of the sociocultural context.

Interventions for Suicidal Youth
The Institutes invite research grant applications to study interventions to reduce suicidal behaviors in youth. Although youth suicidal behavior has been recognized as a significant public health problem for several decades, there are few effective treatments or preventive interventions that have been developed and specifically tested to reduce suicidal behavior in youth. The purpose of this announcement is to support efforts to develop and test such interventions that build on both risk and protective factors. This PA identifies the need to test the effectiveness of interventions for reducing suicidal behavior from a number of approaches, ranging from broad-based community or school-based prevention efforts, to more targeted approaches that reduce suicidal behavior in youth with identified mental disorders or substance use disorders (SUD).

Mechanisms Underlying the Links between Psychosocial Stress, Aging, the Brain and the Body (R01)
This FOA encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research to elucidate the mechanistic links between psychosocial stress and health in aging, as well as how the aging process and age-related diseases affect the responses to psychosocial stressors. Generally, research should be focused on (1) aging and how neural mechanisms respond to psychosocial stress and affect other body systems, (2) characterizing the behavioral, psychological and social mechanisms and pathways involved in transducing psychosocial stressors into health outcomes, (3) how stressors modulate physiological process underlying life-span, immune mechanisms, and metabolism, and (4) how psychosocial stress contributes to the development or progression of geriatric syndromes, chronic medical conditions, and disabilities in later life. Research is strongly encouraged that aims to identify appropriate targets for intervention, at any level of analysis, from societal to molecular. Research spanning multiple levels of analysis is particularly encouraged. Research focused on oxidative stress or on environmental or physical stressors of a non-psychosocial nature is not appropriate to this FOA.

Research on Co-Morbid Mental and Other Physical Disorders (R01)
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) solicit grant applications that propose studies on the co-occurrence and co-morbidity of mental disorders with other physical disorders. An important goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to identify potent, modifiable risk and protective factors amenable to intervention, and to translate the results of such studies into initial tests of theory-driven prevention and early intervention strategies. Risk and protective factors include biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental contributors to co-morbid disorders. This FOA encourages research on the efficacy, effectiveness, long-term outcome and safety of preventive, treatment, and rehabilitative interventions across the lifespan; clinical trials and intervention studies targeting functional and symptomatic outcomes adapting pharmacological, psychosocial, behavioral, or environmental approaches individually or in combination; studies to improve the recruitment and retention of individuals with co-morbid disorders in real-world practice settings; and research on the impact of separate organizational systems and different financing mechanism for mental and other physical disorders. Major emphasis is placed on the identification of principles motivating and sustaining behavior changes critical to reducing the risk for co-occurring disorders. Studies are particularly encouraged of mental disorders that are co-morbid with other physical disorders that are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States, including heart disease, cancer, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and diabetes, for example. The NIMH and NINR will, however, consider applications that focus on any combination of co-morbid mental and other physical disorder across the lifespan; it is incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate the public health significance of the study by describing the severity and/or prevalence of the disorders studied.

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.

NIDA and the NIAAA plan to publish an RFA titled “Social Neuroscience” in October 2005. From the announcement:
“Social neuroscience seeks to explain social behavior (i.e., behavior influenced by or occurring in the presence of others) in terms of: [1] the information processing mechanisms that motivate and guide social behavior; and [2] the neurobiological mechanisms (genetic, hormonal, biochemical, physiological) that underlie social behavior. The social neuroscience perspective (and related areas of neuro- and behavioral economics) is an emerging framework that is being applied to important aspects of social behavior and experience including attraction, altruism, aggression, affiliation, attachment, attitudes, identification, cooperation, competition, emotion, motivation, empathy, sexuality, communication, dominance, persuasion, trust, obedience and nurturance.”
