Calls for Proposals
Internal Calls for Proposals: Development Core
With funding from NICHD, the Mellon Foundation, and UT sources, the goal of the PRC Seed Project Grant Program is to provide faculty members with seed grant support and mentorship to develop nascent research ideas and increase the overall grant portfolio and research productivity of the Center. The seed grant proposals are not awarded for conducting research, per se. The call emphasizes that, while the amount of available money is not large, faculty members can request (1) up to one month of salary; (2) some graduate assistant funds for a finite period; and (3) support for limited travel and/or collaborator visits, if necessary.
The only conditions are that:
* The grant application will be population oriented.
* The grant application will be submitted through the PRC, either for the August (8/15) or January (1/15) NSF deadline or the October 1, February 1, or June 1 NIH deadline.
We will give strong preference to junior level faculty members and, secondarily, to those individuals who have never been PI on a federally-funded grant.
If you have a good idea, please send e-mail PRC Director Mark Hayward that includes a 2-4 page pre-proposal describing the project, and be sure to indicate which of the grant submission deadlines and agencies you will target. Please also send a budget of no more than $10,000 for your project development.
The deadline for the Summer 2007 Proposal Bootcamp is May 16th.
Awardees will meet with the director three to four times throughout the summer, as a group, to work on the applications. This effort is meant to both help push the proposals toward completion, as well as to provide a network of people who are working on applications to read each other's work and help each other along.

Behavioral and Social Research on Disasters and Health (R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate research in the behavioral and social sciences on the consequences of natural and man-made disasters for the health of children, the elderly, and vulnerable groups, with an ultimate goal of preventing or mitigating harmful consequences. Examples of disasters include severe weather-related events, earthquakes, large-scale attacks on civilian populations, technological catastrophes or perceived catastrophes, and influenza pandemics. Three National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes are sponsoring this FOA. The National Institute on Aging is interested in research on the elderly in disasters, especially elderly residents of institutions and frail elderly in the community. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is interested in research on children and other vulnerable populations in disasters. The National Institute of Nursing Research is interested in research that will develop interventions that will improve outcomes for persons affected by natural and man-made disasters.

Reducing Health Disparities Among Minority and Underserved Children (R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institute on Alcohol, Alcoholism, and Alcohol Abuse (NIAAA), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct research to reduce health disparities among minority and underserved children. Specifically, this initiative focuses on ethnic and racial minority children and underserved populations of children such as: children from low literacy, rural and low-income populations, geographically isolated children, hearing and visually impaired children, physically or mentally disabled children, children of migrant workers, children from immigrant and refugee families, and language minority children. Specific targeted areas of research include biobehavioral studies that incorporate multiple factors that influence child health disparities such as biological (e.g., genetics, cellular, organ systems), lifestyle factors, environmental (physical and family environments), social (e.g., peer influences), economic, institutional, and cultural and family influences; studies that target the specific health promotion needs of children with a known illness and/or disability; and studies that test and evaluate the cost effectiveness of health promotion interventions conducted in nontraditional settings.
