Hi, everyone. This 3 part message is for the intrepid researchers out
there. Everyone else can ignore. Sorry to take up space, but I don't know

DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC DEFECTS OF IMMUNITY
NIH GUIDE, Volume 25, Number 4, February 16, 1996
PA NUMBER: PAS-96-027
P.T. 34; K.W. 0710070, 0775000, 1002019
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
The Jeffrey Modell Foundation
Application Receipt Dates: June 1, October 1, 1996 and February
1,
1997
PURPOSE
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD)
of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with
the
Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF), invites investigator-initiated
research grant applications for basic studies to identify the
genes
and elucidate the molecular and genetic mechanisms that are
responsible for normal and defective development of the fetal,
neonatal, and infant/child immune system.
HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the
health
promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People
2000,"
a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This
Program
Announcement (PA), Developmental and Genetic Defects of Immunity,
is
related to the priority areas of maternal and infant health, and
immunization and infectious diseases. Potential applicants may
obtain
a copy of "Healthy People 2000" (Full Report: Stock No.
017-001-00474-0 or Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1)
from
the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402-9325 (telephone 202-512-1800).
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applications may be submitted by domestic and foreign, for-profit
and
non-profit organizations, public and private, such as
universities,
colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local
governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government.
Foreign institutions are not eligible for the First Independent
Research Support and Transition (FIRST) (R29) award.
Racial/ethnic
minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are
encouraged to apply as Principal Investigators.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
The mechanisms of support will be investigator-initiated research
project grant (R01) and FIRST (R29) awards. Applications for
FIRST
Awards and R01s from new investigators are particularly
encouraged.
The total project period for an application submitted in response
to
this PA may not exceed five years; and a foreign application may
not
request more than three years of support.
FUNDS AVAILABLE
The estimated funds available for the total (direct and indirect)
first-year costs of all awards made under this PA, for
applications
assigned to the NICHD, will be $500,000 ($400,000 from the NICHD
and
$100,000 from the JMF). In Fiscal Year 1997, the NICHD and the
JMF
plan to fund two to three R01 and/or R29 grants. Awards and
level of
support depend on receipt of a sufficient number of applications
of
high scientific merit. The usual PHS policies governing grants
administration and management, including indirect costs, will
apply.
Although this program is provided for in the financial plans of
the
NICHD and the JMF, awards pursuant to this program announcement
are
contingent upon the availability of funds for this purpose.
Funding
beyond the first and subsequent years of the grant will be
contingent
upon satisfactory progress during the preceding years and
availability of funds.
New applications submitted for the June 1 and October 1, 1996 and
February 1, 1997 receipt dates will be eligible for funding under
this announcement. Competing continuation applications for
already
funded projects will NOT be eligible for awards from NICHD and
JMF
under this PA. Although the NICHD has a continuing interest in
the
research areas of this PA, the latest anticipated award date with
set-aside funds is September 30, 1997.
