I. Request for Information (RFI): Input on the Development of a Knowledge Management Center for the "Illuminating the Druggable Genome" Program http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RM-13-018.html
cNIH just published a Request for Information (RFI): Input on the Development of a Knowledge Management Center for the Illuminating the Druggable Genome Program (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RM-13-018.html) This RFI is to solicit comments and ideas for the development of an informatics resource leading to a public web portal that would illuminate the unannotated, or "dark matter," portion of the "Druggable Genome". We invite you to read the RFI and consider responding to the information requested.

II. Short-term Mentored Career Enhancement Awards in the Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences: Cross-Training at the Intersection of Animal Models and Human Investigation (K18) http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DA-14-002.html
A FOA entitled "Short-term Mentored Career Enhancement Awards in the Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences: Cross-Training at the Intersection of Animal Models and Human Investigation", issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral & Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet), invites applications for short-term mentored career enhancement (K18) awards in basic behavioral and social sciences research (b-BSSR). This funding mechanism will support development of research capability in b-BSSR, with specific emphasis on cross-training and establishing collaborations between researchers with expertise in animal models of basic behavioral and social processes and those studying similar or related processes in human subjects. Basic research using any non-human species or with human subjects in laboratory- or field-based settings is appropriate for this FOA. Eligible candidates for this K18 will be either: (a) scientists conducting b-BSSR in animal models who seek training in the study of similar or related behavioral or social processes in humans; or (b) investigators conducting b-BSSR in human subjects who seek training in the study of similar or related processes in animal models. Candidates may be at any rank or level of research/academic development beyond three years of postdoctoral experience.

III. Short Course on the Genetics of Addiction http://courses.jax.org/2013/addiction.html
August 17 – 22, 2013
This course emphasizes genetic applications and approaches to drug addiction research through methodological instruction based on literature, data sets and informatics resources drawn from studies of addiction related phenotypes. The course includes plenary sessions on major progress in addiction genetics, and discussion sessions in which students present their work for discussion on applications of genetic methods. Students will leave the course able to design and interpret genetic and genomic studies of addiction as they relate to their specific research question, and will be able to make use of current bioinformatics resources to identify research resources and make use of public data sources in their own research.
Organizers:
Elissa J. Chesler, Ph.D., The Jackson Laboratory
