I. Short Course on the Genetics of Addiction http://courses.jax.org/2014/addiction.html

Limited scholarships may be available to help attendees with travel expenses  


Application Deadline July 24, 2014

 

Aug 28 - Sep 2 | The Jackson Laboratory - Bar Harbor, ME

 

The Genetics and Molecular Neurobiology Research Branch at NIDA is pleased to support the Jackson Laboratory Short Course on the Genetic of Addiction http://courses.jax.org/2014/addiction.html. It is the hope that this course will help build a cadre of investigators who are able to map and characterize the function of genetic variants for vulnerability to addiction in animals and human. 

 

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.

II. Funding Opportunity Announcements for Extracellular Vesicles in HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse

RFA-DA-15-011 Extracellular Vesicles in HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse (R01)) and                     RFA-DA-15-012 Extracellular Vesicles in HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse (R21)
National Institute on Drug Abuse


Application Receipt Date(s): December 15, 2014

 

Funding Opportunity Purpose

The purpose of this FOA is to encourage research projects that investigate extracellular vesicles in HIV infection/progression or as potential HIV/AIDS biomarkers or therapeutics.  Proposed projects must also explore the potential impact of exposure to substances of abuse.

Application Due Date(s):  November 14, 2014, July 14, 2015; July 14, 2016, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. All types of non-AIDS applications allowed for this funding opportunity announcement are due on these dates.

 

Funding Opportunity Purpose

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to build on the data collected using the very well defined experimental protocols of the Human Connectome Project (HCP) (http://www.neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/connectome/).  Applications are sought that will apply the Human Connectome data collection protocol to disease/disorder cohorts of interest to the Institutes and Centers that are participating in this FOA.  These cohorts will be defined by the applicant and can include subjects with specific symptoms or conditions, with comorbid conditions, with a specific genetic profile, or other applicant defined criteria.

V. NIH Public Access Compliance:

A good place to start is the Managing Compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy video and instructions. See the NIH Guide 8.2.2 NIH Public Access Policy. We encourage all Project Directors, Principal Investigators, Sponsors, mentors, and fellows to get on top of this early. If applicable, be sure to include training and career awards when you link your publications to NIH grants. Please share this with your colleagues.
