GENERAL
22-1 Research on the Role of
Epigenetics in Social, Behavioral,
Environmental and Biological
Relationships, throughout the Life-Span
and across Generations (R21) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages exploratory and developmental grant applications to lay the
foundation for innovative and collaborative basic research on the role of epigenetics in social, behavioral, environmental
and biological relationships, throughout
the life-span and across generations.
Research plans that are responsive to this
FOA will use existing bio-psycho-social
and environmental data from human
cohorts or animal studies that have biospecimens available for epigenetic profiling. The one year exploratory/
developmental awards are expected to
generate preliminary data for comprehensive basic research applications to study
interactions between epigenetics and
social/behavioral/biological/environmental factors in both normal function and
pathophysiology throughout life and
across generations. The results may ultimately inform research to develop clinical
decision/diagnostic tools and prevention/
treatment strategies. RFA-TW-13-002

Partnerships Program (USDA)
The purpose of this competitive cooperative partnership agreement program is to
deliver crop insurance education and risk
management training to U.S. agricultural producers to assist them in identifying and managing production, marketing,
legal, financial, and human risk. The program gives priority to: (1) Educating producers of crops currently not insured
under Federal crop insurance, specialty
crops, and underserved commodities,
including livestock and forage; and (2)
providing collaborative partnerships to
develop and deliver crop insurance education and other risk management training. Education activities developed under
the Risk Management Education Partnerships Program will provide U.S. farmers
and ranchers, including limited resource,
socially disadvantaged, and other traditionally under-served farmers and ranchers with training and information
opportunities to be able to understand:
1.) The kinds of risks addressed by existing and emerging risk management tools;
2.) The features and appropriate use of
existing and emerging risk management
tools; and 3.) How to make sound risk
management decisions. (FR 6/7/13)

22-7 NIAID Resource-Related
Research Projects (R24) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA), issued by the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
requests submission of investigator-initiated Resource-Related Research Projects
(R24) applications. The proposed
resource must provide a significant benefit to currently funded high priority
projects in need of further coordination
and support in the areas specified. Under
rare circumstances, this mechanism may
be used to support development of a new
resource to the broader scientific community of the NIAID. It is anticipated that
the request for resource support through
the R24 activity code will occur on an
infrequent basis and only in circumstances where other mechanisms of support from the NIAID are not appropriate.
The proposed resources should be relevant to the scientific areas of the NIAID
mission including the biology, pathogenesis, and host response to microbes, including HIV; the mechanisms of normal
immune function and immune dysfunction resulting in autoimmunity, immuno-
deficiency, allergy, asthma, and transplant
rejection; and translational research to
develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious,
immune-mediated, and allergic diseases.
