The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is inviting applications to develop and implement strategies to improve health risk communication to protect military personnel, veterans and their families. The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience supports innovative research designed to bring science closer to the day when diseases of the brain and behavior can be accurately diagnosed, prevented, and treated. To that end, the McKnight Memory and Brain Disorders Award, established in 2000, assists scientists working to apply the knowledge achieved through basic research to human brain injury or disease. The College of Medicine's NRI funds are intended to serve as seed money for investigators to initiate new areas of research.
Pilot studies are appropriate.
Proposed studies should be distinguished from the current research of the investigators, and should represent a new area of which preliminary results are necessary in order to develop an application for extramural funding. The Health and Human Services Department's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation is inviting abstracts for policy research and studies related to welfare reform. Full proposals from selected applicants will be due 30 days later.
