GENERAL
Vol. 16, No. 40
the Director and 15 NIH Institutes and
Centers that support research on the nervous system. This FOA is released in
affiliation with the Neuroscience Blueprint, with Institutes and Centers participating independently, and with
participation by Institutes that are not
part of the Neurosciences Blueprint.
Optimal use of informatics tools (e.g.,
tools for analyzing data, etc.) and
resources (e.g., databases, data sets, etc.)
depend upon explicit understandings of
concepts related to the data upon which
they compute. This is typically accomplished by a tool or resource adopting a
formal controlled vocabulary and ontology. For the purpose of this Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA), an
ontology is defined as a controlled
vocabulary that describes objects and the
relationships between these objects in a
formal way. In an effort to advance the
use of powerful informatics approaches
in biomedical research, this FOA solicits
Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that
propose to develop an ontology that will
make it possible for software to understand how two or more existing data sets
relate to each other. PAR-07-425 (NIHG

40-1 NIH Partners in Research
Program (R03) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) solicits research grant applications
from academic/scientific institutions and
community organizations that propose to
forge partnerships 1) to study methods and
strategies to engage and inform the public
regarding health science in order to
improve public understanding of the methods and benefits of publicly funded
research, and 2) to increase scientists’
understanding of and outreach to the public in their research efforts. Applications
must be submitted by an applicant organization on behalf of at least two investigators, representing an academic or
scientific/medical institution and a community institution, with each partner serving at PI of his/her respective grant. RFAOD-07-001 (NIHG 10/12/07)

Research (R01) (NIH)
The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience
Research is a framework to enhance cooperative activities among the NIH Office of
trol tactics, integrate individual tactics

The goal of the RIPM program is to provide knowledge and information needed
for the implementation of IPM methods
that: improve the economic benefits
related to the adoption of IPM practices;
reduce potential human health risks from
pests and the use of pest management
practices; and reduce unreasonable
adverse environmental effects from pests
and the use of pest management practices.

The Teaching American History Grant
Program supports projects that aim to
raise student achievement by improving
teachers’ knowledge, understanding, and
appreciation of traditional American history. Grant awards assist local educational
agencies (LEAs), in partnership with entities that have extensive content expertise,
to develop, implement, document, evaluate, and disseminate innovative, cohesive
models of professional development. By
helping teachers to develop a deeper
understanding and appreciation of traditional American history as a separate subject within the core curriculum these
programs are intended to improve instruction and raise student achievement. EDGRANTS-101007-001 (GG 10/10/07)

40-9 Julie Martin Mid-Career Award
in Aging Research (EMF)
The Ellison Medical Foundation and the
American Federation for Aging Research
developed the Julie Martin Mid-Career
Award in Aging Research program for
outstanding mid-career scientists who
propose novel directions of high importance to biological gerontology. Proposals
in areas where NIH awards or other traditional sources are unlikely because the
research is high risk are particularly
encouraged if they have the potential for
leading to major new advances in the
understanding of basic mechanisms of
aging. Projects investigating age-related
diseases are also supported, but only if
approached from the point of view of how
basic aging processes may lead to these
outcomes. The applicant must be an associate professor who achieved tenured status after December 1, 2004.
