institutions of higher education to conduct
research and to educate scientists and
engineers in areas important to national
defense, by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment. Grants will
be for the purchase of research equipment
costing more than $50,000, for items that
typically cannot be purchased within the
budgets of single-investigator awards.

20-10 Ground-Based Studies for
Human Health in Space (NASA)
NASA is soliciting proposals for groundbased solo or team-based research
projects on aspects of human health in
space. NASA is seeking research in three
program areas: biomedical model systems; biomedical research and countermeasures; and biomedical research under
the National Space Biomedical Research
Institute. Objectives are to: understand
the physiological mechanisms responsible
for space-flight-related biomedical and
behavioral changes in humans in support
of countermeasure development; develop
counter measures to allow humans to live
and work in micro-gravity for long periods; and identify, characterize and mitigate health, environmental and other
health risks associated with space exploration. NNH04ZUU003N (FGCW 05/25/

20-11 Strategic Partnering to Evaluate
Cancer Signatures (NIH)
The purpose of this initiative is to build
on recent demonstrations that molecular
signatures correlate with important clinical parameters in cancer. NCI invites
investigators to form strategic partnerships that will bring together the multidisciplinary expertise and resources
needed to determine how the information
derived from comprehensive molecular
analyses can be used to improve patient
care and ultimately, patient outcomes.
Applicants are asked to propose evaluation of potential clinical usefulness of
molecular signatures already developed
using a variety of molecular analysis technologies including DNA, RNA or protein-based technologies. RFA-CA-04-015

20-12 Research to Study Virulence of
Mycobacterium avium Complex
Bacteria from Drinking Water (EPA)
Mycobacterium avium complex bacteria
(MAC) are naturally occurring bacteria in
the environment, including natural water
supplies and municipally-treated drinking water. These bacteria can pose a significant health risk to humans, especially
immunocompromised persons. Current
detection methods are able to determine
only the presence of MAC; new methodologies that generate information regarding the virulence of MAC strains found in
water would be useful in assigning the
level of risk to humans from exposure to
drinking water
