III. Applications are being solicited from junior investigators to present at NIDA and NIAAA Early Career Investigator Showcase [ECIS], Friday, Oct 16, 2015, 5:00 to 6:00 PM, McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, IL http://apps1.seiservices.com/ecisabstracts/
The National Institute on Drug Abuse [NIDA] and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
[NIAAA] are co-sponsoring a symposium, Early Career Investigator Showcase [ECIS], as a satellite event to the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience [SfN], Chicago, IL. The ECIS symposium provides a forum for scientific presentations by premier young and junior investigators working in the fields of substance abuse and addiction research. The theme for this year's ECIS symposium is the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse on development. This symposium will take place on Friday, 16 October 2015, from 5:00 – 6:00 pm at the McCormick Place Convention Center (tentative) immediately following the 2015 Joint NIDA-NIAAA Frontiers in Addiction Research Mini-Convention.
NIDA and NIAAA are now soliciting applications from investigators to participate in the ECIS symposium. To be eligible for consideration, the applicant must currently have an individual postdoctoral fellowship Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award [F32], a mentored career development award [K01, K08, K23,K99], or grant support as a NIH New Investigator/Early Stage Investigator [http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/]. A $1000 travel award will be given to each of the six (6) individuals selected for this symposium to be applied towards expenses incurred for travel to this event. Individuals selected for ECIS will be chosen for the quality of their research, its impact in the field, and its relevance to the mission of NIDA or NIAAA. Applications are due by Friday, 31 July 2015, 5:00 PM (EDT). For an application and additional information, please go to http://apps1.seiservices.com/ecisabstracts/ or contact: for NIDA [Roger Sorensen, rsorense@mail.nih.gov]; or for NIAAA [Antonio Noronha, anoronha@mail.nih.gov].

IV. Avenir Award Program for Genetics or Epigenetics of Substance Abuse (DP1) RFA-DA-16-007
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DA-16-007.html
Application Due dates: October 20, 2015 and October 20, 2016, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization
Avenir means future in French, and this award looks toward the future by supporting early stage investigators proposing highly innovative studies. The award will support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow's leaders in the field. NIDA has developed two Avenir Award Programs, one for HIV/AIDS research and the other for genetics or epigenetics studies.
The Genetics or Epigenetics of Substance Abuse Avenir Award program supports early stage investigators proposing highly innovative studies that open new areas of research for the genetics or epigenetics of addiction. These may be novel methods or approaches that can potentially be applied to the analysis of the genetics or epigenetics of addiction. Investigators outside the field of addiction interested in applying their novel approaches to the genetics or epigenetics of addiction are encouraged to apply. The award will support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow's leaders in the field of genetics or epigenetics.

V. Identification of Genetic and Genomic Variants by Next-Gen Sequencing in Non-human Animal Models (U01) PAR-15-120 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-120.html#sthash.bBPhto89.dpuf
Next application due date: Oct. 20, 2015
The goals of this initiative are to identify gene variants of traits associated with addiction and substance abuse in selectively bred, and outbred non-human animal models using methodologies of Next Gen-Sequencing, mapping, and genotyping.
