I.  Investigating Transposable Elements and Mobile DNA as Targets of Integration for Establishing HIV Reservoirs in the Brain (R61/R33 - Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to support research examining the potential contributions of mobile DNA elements and addictive substances in HIV integration, reservoir formation, and maintenance in the brain. NIDA is specifically interested in studies exploring the contributions of molecular, genetic, and epigenetic factors in HIV integration, reservoir formation, and maintenance in microglia and/or the brain in the context of addiction.

II.  Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative Supplements to Recognize Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Mentorship

The supplement awards will provide up to $250,000.00 (direct costs), not to exceed the cost of the parent award, to grants supporting faculty members who have mentoring and/or mentorship as part of their existing awards and have demonstrated a commitment to outstanding mentorship and training, especially to individuals from groups identified as underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (e.g., see the Notice of NIH's of Interest in Diversity). As administrative supplements, the work proposed needs to be within the scope of the research or training that is already supported. The award must have a component related to mentoring. Examples include but are not limited to: a Research Education Program that describes mentored research experiences, a Career Development section, a Plan to Enhance Diverse Perspectives, or a discrete objective related to mentoring.

III.             The Virtual Short Course on the Genetics of Addiction and In-Person Research Experiences for Faculty and Student Teams Underrepresented in Science

https://www.jax.org/education-and-learning/education-calendar/2022/february/addiction-genetics#

This unique training experience combines our Annual Short Course in a virtual format with the opportunity for mentored research experiences: the goal is to support and expand a diverse community of academics in their pursuit and advancement of addiction-related education, research, and careers. The research experiences are designed for teams of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and undergraduate and graduate students underrepresented in science for training and mentored research projects utilizing advanced methods and resources for addiction genetics.

Each day of the course will be held from 12pm-2pm (Eastern Time) M/W/F and focus on a general topic area. Sessions will be recorded and made available to registered attendees to view on-demand for two months following the course.

 

Course funding: 1R25DA051342 (NIH/NIDA; E. Chesler, PI); 5R13DA052199 (NIH/NIDA; E. Chesler, PI)

IV. Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) workshop

https://event.roseliassociates.com/bbqs-workshop/

The BRAIN Initiative invites you to attend the Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) workshop, hosted by the NIH Brain Initiative. The workshop will be held virtually on March 1-2, 2022 from 1:00 – 5:30 pm ET. The workshop will bring together innovators in bioengineering, computational science and informatics, cognitive neuroscience (both human and animal studies), evolutionary biology and ethology, social sciences, and ethics with the objective of identifying advances in research necessary for a more comprehensive understanding of behavior.
