| Abstract: |
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to
encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and
solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U.S.
population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic
populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on
the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health
concerns.
Emphasis is placed on research in and among three
broad areas of action: 1) Public policy, 2) health care, and 3)
disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to
reducing "health gaps" among groups. Proposals that utilize an
interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis,
incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods
such as system science or community-based participatory research are
particularly encouraged.

| Abstract: |
The purpose of the program is to provide support in
the fields of reproductive health, water and sanitation, and health
information to populations affected by war and complex humanitarian
emergencies. This program addresses the "Healthy People 2010" focus
area(s) of Maternal, Infant, and Child Health, and Environmental Health.
Awardee activities for this program are as follows:
1.
Reproductive Health - The successful vendor will complete one or more
of the following activities in order to provide specific services to
the identified population:
a. Conduct population-based
reproductive health surveys in complex humanitarian emergencies using
accepted science-based methods.
b. Assess the capacity of
international and nongovernmental agencies serving the reproductive
health care needs of conflict-affected populations.
c. Identify gaps
in health service delivery strategies between emergency humanitarian
agencies and the development community in order to create sustainable
reproductive health care services in complex emergencies.
d. Make
recommendations to improve reproductive health interventions while
building capacity in complex humanitarian emergencies.
e. Assist CDC
in developing consensus within the international humanitarian community
on reproductive health indicators, based on established practices and
field manuals.
f. Assist CDC in developing improved methods for data
collection and dissemination related to reproductive health in complex
humanitarian emergencies.
2. Water and Sanitation - The successful
vendor will complete one or more of the following activities in order
to provide specific services to the identified population:
a.
Conduct population-based water and sanitation surveys in complex
humanitarian emergencies using accepted science-based methods.
b.
Assess the capacity of international and nongovernmental agencies
serving the water and sanitation needs of conflict-affected populations.
c.
Identify gaps in water and sanitation strategies between emergency
humanitarian agencies and the development community in order to create
sustainable water and sanitation services in complex emergencies.
d.
Make recommendations to improve water and sanitation interventions
while building capacity in complex humanitarian emergencies.
e.
Assist CDC in developing consensus within the international
humanitarian community on water quality and sanitation indicators,
based on established practices and field manuals.
f. Assist CDC in
developing improved methods for data collection and dissemination
related to water and sanitation in complex humanitarian emergencies.
g.
Conduct evaluations of new and emerging technologies and trends related
to water quality and sanitation in complex emergencies.
3. Health
Data and Health Information Systems (HIS) lay the foundation for public
health decision-making in emergencies. Accurate and reliable health
information informs evidence-based policy formulation, leads to better
management of health programs and, ultimately, drives the actions that
improve health programs in conflict and post-conflict settings. It is
also a crucial tool for the surveillance of existing and emerging
infectious disease. The successful recipient will build on existing
work by the International Emergency and Refugee Health Branch (IERHB)
and Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to develop
a comprehensive HIS which includes ongoing systematic collection,
analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data in refugee
camps. This surveillance system, a pilot of which has been operating in
Tanzania since 2004, currently collects data on 119 conditions
including watery and bloody diarrhea, malaria, fever of unknown origin,
and infant mortality rates. This data is analyzed and used to describe
and monitor health events, set priorities, and to assist in the
planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health interventions
and programs. The successful recipient will work with IERHB to expand
HIS to other countries in the Horn of Africa harboring refugees, such
as Ethiopia and Kenya. The successful recipient will collaborate with
IERHB to develop an HIS that can be used world-wide as a standard
system. Regional and local adaptations will be made to suit the needs
of local and international partners and will include country-specific
disease indicators.
The successful recipient will work closely
with IERHB to evaluate the potential use of remote aerial surveillance
using unmanned aerial vehicles and/or modular photographic devices to
assist in conducting rapid population estimates and imagery collection
during complex emergencies. In addition, successful vendor may assist
IERHB in developing geographic information systems and related mapping
products in complex emergencies. Successful vendor may also work with
CDC to develop a high resolution modular imaging device that can
produce georeferenced and orthorectified images for rapid mosaic,
analysis, and distribution. The resulting photographic map of a
disaster-affected population will then be processed to estimate
population density and guide the public health response.
Humanitarian
Information Centers (HIC) support the co-ordination of humanitarian
assistance through the provision of information products and services.
The successful vendor will operate or support one or more HICs.
This
announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC. If
research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed.

| Abstract: |
This FOA, issued by the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), is intended to promote
research on all aspects of tumor stem cell biology, including the
molecular and biochemical regulation of embryonic and adult stem cell
behavior relevant to tumor formation.
Research projects are
encouraged on the characterization of tumor stem cells from the broad
spectrum of solid tumors and leukemias/lymphomas not already examined,
on markers potentially shared by tumor stem cells and normal stem
cells, and on the biochemical and molecular regulation of normal and
tumor stem cell function. Such research can and should include the
development of methods for the functional identification of such cells
in vivo. Studies of the genes regulating self renewal, and studies of
regulation of stem cell division by the stem cell niche and/or
microenvironment are also encouraged.
Research topics that are relevant to this FOA include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
1. What factors determine the proliferation rate of normal and tumor stem cells?
2. Can oncogenes and (their aberrations) affect asymmetric versus symmetric divisions in stem cells?
3.
What is the nature of stem cell quiescence versus growth (in terms of
progression through the cell cycle)? Which stem cell-specific genes
alter the cell cycle pathway proteins?
4. Do tumor stromal cells
constitute a unique element of the tumor stem cell niche? Does the
tumor stromal niche act as a constituent of a feedback mechanism with
tumor stem cells to control their growth?
5. Are the phenotypes of invasion and metastasis uniquely connected to the tumor stem cell phenotype?
6. Are normal resident adult tissue stem cells a special target for carcinogenic insults?
7. Can new and/or better markers and assays for the isolation and enrichment of tumor stem cells be developed?
8.
Can new and/or better in vivo functional assays to identify tumor
initiating cells (e.g., engraftment of leukemic stem cells into
immunodeficient NOD/SCID mice) be developed?
9. How do changes to
stem cells or their environment due to aging affect formation of tumor
stem cells or alter their properties?
Using the NIH R21 funding
mechanism, this FOA is intended for the exploratory pilot projects
focused on early and conceptual stages. For such projects, extensive
preliminary data are not required. |

| Abstract: |
The goal of this program is to encourage and foster
interactions among scientists to create new research directions or
advance a field. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking
strategies are especially encouraged. Groups of investigators will be
supported to communicate and coordinate their research, training and
educational activities across disciplinary, organizational,
institutional, and geographical boundaries. The proposed networking
activities should have a theme as a focus of its collaboration. The
focus could be on a broad research question, a specific group of
organisms, or particular technologies or approaches.
In 2008 a
new track was created to provide support for networks that will
catalyze positive changes in undergraduate biology education (RCN-UBE).
