SYNOPSIS: The purpose of AFRI is to support research, education, and extension work by awarding grants that address key problems of national, regional, and multi-state importance in sustaining all components of agriculture, including farm efficiency and profitability, ranching, renewable energy, forestry (both urban and agroforestry), aquaculture, rural communities and entrepreneurship, human nutrition, food safety, biotechnology, and conventional breeding. Through this support, AFRI advances knowledge in both fundamental and applied sciences important to agriculture. The majority of efforts supported by the 2013 RFA advances adaptation of agricultural and forest production systems to climate variability and change. This emphasis on adaptation would fill a current gap in the Climate Variability and Change Challenge Area portfolio of projects funded under the 2010 and 2012 RFAs where many of the projects focused on climate change mitigation. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 14727 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/3/2013 Sponsor: National Institute of Food and Agriculture/Department of Agriculture Title: Agriculture and Food Research Initiative NIFA Fellowships Grant Program--Predoctoral Fellowships Contact: Dr. Ray Ali Tel: 202-720-2727 Email: nifafellows@nifa.usda.gov Website:          http://nifa.usda.gov/funding/rfas/pdfs/13_afri_fellow.pdf Full Program:          http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do;jsessionid=f11LQB0pG7ZFmFr4jm4sQd0XcpK1vqZSZ1WMhTb9Wpbnmhv3nwZv!-804278280?oppId=210073&mode=VIEW Deadline Note: The deadline for receipt of mandatory letters of intent is January 3, 2013.

The deadlines for receipt of AIDS-related applications are: January 7, May 7, and September 7 annually. This program will expire on January 8, 2013. SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites research applications to enhance our understanding about the dynamic interrelationship that exists between bioactive food components (and/or combinations thereof) and cancer prevention. Although much evidence exists that dietary components are linked to cancer prevention, the interactions among dietary bioactive compounds and food combinations remains under-investigated. Applications are encouraged to consider either multiple dietary bioactive components, intact foods or multiple foods utilizing physiologically relevant concentrations of the agents. New genetic technologies may be employed to study the impact of dietary components on complex cellular and molecular networks, as part of the effort to better understand the basis for the multifaceted interactions of food components with cancer prevention mechanisms. Specifically, applications that apply new high-throughput genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies to prioritize molecular targets of dietary components are highly encouraged. The sites of action that may be evaluated include carcinogen metabolism, DNA repair, cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, hormonal regulation, energetics, inflammation, and/or angiogenesis. In addition, applications should either evaluate multiple molecular targets within a cancer process or multiple processes in order to prioritize which process(es) is/are most involved in bringing about a phenotypic change. It is hoped that advances in this area may assist in optimizing cancer prevention while minimizing potential toxicity due to food components. The resulting information will help define which foods or food components should be considered in isolation or in combination when developing dietary strategies to reduce cancer risk and/or modify tumor behavior. This program will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 92792 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Cancer Institute/NIH/DHHS Title: Exploratory Cancer Prevention Studies Involving Molecular Targets for Bioactive Food Components (R21) Contact: Young S.

SYNOPSIS: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invite applications for pilot and preliminary research on (1) organizational and/or systems-level interventions that may optimize access, utilization, delivery, quality, and/or cost of treatment services for drug, tobacco, or alcohol abuse or dependence through the use of evidence-based practices; (2) organizational and/or systems-specific adaptations to existing evidence-based practices necessary to facilitate their implementation in these new contexts; and (3) novel service delivery models to be pilot tested in preparation for larger-scale effectiveness trials. This R34 award mechanism provides resources for assessing the feasibility, acceptability, utility, and sustainability of novel approaches to service delivery for drug, tobacco, or alcohol abuse or dependence, with the ultimate goal of facilitating the uptake of scientifically-supported clinical practices. This FOA supports pilot and preliminary research on service delivery models, and organizational or systems-level interventions. This FOA will not support developmental or efficacy studies for novel preventive interventions or clinical therapies, nor will it support efficacy studies on the adaptation of existing interventions for new client populations. This FOA will utilize the NIH R34 Clinical Trial Planning Grant Program award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 61237 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH/DHHS Title: Health Services and Economic Research on the Prevention and Treatment of Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Abuse (R01) Contact: Redonna Chandler, Ph.D. Tel: 301-443-8768 Email: rchandle@nida.nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-127.html Deadline Note: Applications may be submitted to Grants.gov in response to this announcement on or after May 5, 2012.
