Due Date: See Announcement
Amount: See Announcement
Description: The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites behavioral research applications in cancer control from new investigators or established scientists refocusing their research interests to behavioral research in cancer. The Small Grants Program is designed to aid and facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of research expertise in behavioral cancer control research. Small grants are short-term awards to provide support for pilot projects, development and testing of new methodologies, secondary data analyses, and/or innovative studies that provide a basis for more extended research.

PA-05-14 Structural Interventions, Alcohol Use, and Risk of HIV/AIDS
Due Date: January 2, 2006
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This PA requests research on the effectiveness of structural interventions that reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by changing the environment of alcohol use. Although a variety of structural and environmental interventions have been employed successfully to reduce other drinking-related problems, there has been little research that extends such efforts into the realm of HIV/AIDS risk reduction. Applicants are especially encouraged to examine the ramifications for HIV/AIDS risk of naturally occurring or already-announced changes in alcohol-related laws, regulations, programs or policies.

Specifically, it seeks to: 1) investigate how, where, why, and among whom HIV/AIDS spreads through high-risk sexual behavior associated with non-injection drug use; 2) develop effective prevention interventions and treatment for non-injection drug users at risk for or infected with HIV; and 3) improve accessibility and utilization of evidence-based, integrated care for non-injection drug abuse, risky sexual behavior, and HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. The PA will support research employing a range of methodological approaches including basic, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, and treatment studies as well as multidisciplinary research in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences to contribute to knowledge in these areas.

PA-05-164 Recent HIV Infection: New Prevention Challenges and Opportunities
LOI: None Required
Due Date: February 1, 2006, June 1 2006, and October 1, 2006
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This PA solicits innovative basic or applied research applications that will advance prevention opportunities to reduce transmission risk or minimize neuro-cognitive impairment in persons with recent HIV infection (i.e., 0 - 6 months post-exposure). Principal Investigators are urged to develop new research that extends knowledge of the basic biological processes of acute and early HIV disease to address the specific prevention needs of highly infectious, newly infected persons who may account for a disproportionate share of secondary HIV transmissions.

PAR-05-144 Developing Centers for Innovation in Services and Intervention Research (DCISIR)
LOI: May 1
Due Date: June 1 annually thereafter
Amount: $400,000
Description: The ultimate goal of this program announcement (PA) is to establish support for groups of researchers to develop intervention and services research studies that will directly address the missions of NIMH and NIAAA and to prepare these research groups to develop advanced centers. Developing interdisciplinary research teams for the future, including public-private partnerships; and re-engineering the clinical research enterprise. The intervention and services research needed to provide pragmatic information for decision making, improve current community practice, and ultimately reduce the burden of mental illness and of alcohol-related problems for youth and adults requires (a) the creation and adoption of novel methodological and organizational approaches, (b) the use of behavioral, social, economic, and/or political theories to transport interventions into community settings, (c) the creation of sustainable community partnerships, and (d) the creation of sustainable multidisciplinary research teams that can work cooperatively and creatively to find new ways to get the right package of mental health care to the people who need it most and ultimately improve their functioning and quality of life. This PA is intended as a mechanism to build capacity at qualified institutions to achieve these goals and those of the NIH Roadmap initiative.
