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: 91832 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Cancer Institute/NIH/DHHS Title: Academic-Industrial Partnerships for Development and Validation of In Vivo Imaging Systems and Methods for Cancer Investigations (R01) Contact: Houston Baker, Ph.D. Tel: 301-594-9117 Email: bakerhou@mail.nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-169.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 5, June 5, and October 5 annually.

The deadline for receipt of optional letters of intent is January 7, 2013. The deadline for receipt of full applications is February 7, 2013, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. SYNOPSIS: National Institute on Aging (NIA) invites applications that propose extension of research activities on osteoimmunology in order to broaden our understanding of aging aspects of osteoimmunology, using animal models. Most studies in this field have been conducted in young mouse models (usually animals less than 6 months of age). Under those conditions, it is not possible to ascertain the effects of aging in the balance between bone metabolism and immune function. Studies sought under this FOA should focus on the impact of the age-related decline in immune function on bone homeostasis or conversely on the age-related changes in the bone marrow niche affecting the immune interactions with bone. Research in osteoimmunology aims to understand the interplay between the immune and skeletal systems, and how these interactions lead to disease when disrupted. In the clinical setting, such disequilibria and the resulting diseases are most commonly found in the elderly, which are afflicted by both immune senescence and loss of bone homeostasis. This FOA is intended as a vehicle to allow investigators already working in the field of osteoimmunology to expand the scope of their research, so as to allow an enhanced understanding of the field within the context of the clinically relevant setting of aging. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 82577 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Institute on Aging/NIH/DHHS Title: Aging Research Dissertation Awards to Increase Diversity (R36) Contact: Michael-David AAR Kerns, M.B.A., M.S., Ph.D. Tel: 301-402-7713 Email: kernsmd@mail.nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-291.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard applications under this announcement are: February 16, June 16, and October 16 annually.

An association between chronic pain conditions and alcohol dependence has been revealed in numerous studies with episodes of alcohol abuse antedating chronic pain in some people and alcohol dependence emerging after the onset of chronic pain in others. Pain transmission and alcohol’s reinforcing effects share overlapping neural substrates giving rise to the possibility that chronic pain states significantly affect alcohol use patterns and promote the development of dependence and addiction. In addition, long term alcohol intoxication and alcohol dependence induce pain symptoms and may exacerbate chronic pain arising from other sources. The objective of this FOA is to understand genetic, pharmacological and learning mechanisms underlying the association between the propensity to drink alcohol and pain responses. This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 09872 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism/NIH/DHHS Title: The Role of Cellular Organelles in Alcohol-Induced Tissue Injury (R01) Contact: Max Guo, Ph.D. Tel: 301-443-0639 Email: Max.Guo@nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-085.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 5, June 5, and October 5 annually.

SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications that propose to study biological processes involving the cellular organelles in alcohol-induced tissue injury. Excessive alcohol consumption can damage many organ systems including the liver, heart, pancreas, brain, and lung. However, the mechanisms for these injuries are currently not fully understood. Cellular organelles play an important role in cellular functions and are significantly involved in alcohol-induced tissue injury. Thus, studies of alcohol’s effects on the structure and function of cellular organelles are critical to better understand the mechanisms of alcohol-induced injuries and to develop new strategies for their diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this FOA is to: (1) better understand how acute or chronic alcohol consumption affects the structure and function of cellular organelles, and in turn, how these changes contribute to alcohol-induced injury; (2) investigate how variations of proteins in cellular organelles, or their regulation and function, including cellular signaling pathways, contribute to an individual’s response to acute or chronic alcohol intake and alcohol-induced tissue injury; (3) develop potential biomarkers for prognosis and diagnosis of tissue injury, or identify new targets for therapeutic interventions. This FOA aims to foster the utilization of innovative experimental design and emerging technologies, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, as well as novel microscopic imaging techniques that illuminate functions in intact cells and tissues, to generate new mechanistic and clinical insights into alcohol-induced tissue injuries. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 09874 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism/NIH/DHHS Title: The Role of Cellular Organelles in Alcohol-Induced Tissue Injury (R21) Contact: Max Guo, Ph.D. Tel: 301-443-0639 Email: Max.Guo@nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-086.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 16, June 16, and October 16 annually.

The deadlines for receipt of AIDS-related applications are: January 7, May 7, and September 7 annually. This program will expire on May 8, 2013. SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications that propose studying the role of cellular stress responses, the cytoplasmic classical stress response or heat shock response (HSR) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in alcohol-induced tissue injury and tissue protection. While excessive alcohol use causes organ damage, moderate alcohol consumption may be beneficial. The underlying molecular mechanisms for this apparent dichotomy of alcohol’s harmful and salutary effects are currently not fully understood. Alcohol induces cellular stress pathways in the cytoplasm and in the endoplasmic reticulum that may significantly be involved in alcohol-induced tissue injury or mediate tissue protection depending on the quantity, frequency, duration, and temporal pattern of drinking. Hence, studies of the effects of alcohol on cellular stress pathways are critical to understand the mechanisms of alcohol-induced injuries or protection to develop new strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this FOA is to: (1) acquire insight into how acute or chronic alcohol consumption affects cellular stress pathways and in turn, how these changes contribute to alcohol-induced injury/protection; (2) investigate how alcohol induced stress responses mediate cell survival and death signaling pathways at macromolecular, organelle, cellular and organism level contributing to alcohol-induced tissue injury/protection; (3) develop potential stress related biomarkers for prognosis, diagnosis of tissue injury/protection, furthermore identify new targets for their therapeutic interventions. Utilizing innovative experimental design and emerging technologies, such as deep sequencing, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and novel imaging techniques these investigations are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how alcohol affects the evolutionally conserved stress pathways and elucidate their roles in tissue injuries and repair.

SYNOPSIS: The sponsors provide support to stimulate and expand research on the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the genesis, course, and outcomes of substance and alcohol use disorders (SUDs). Previous work in genetic epidemiology and molecular genetics has established that SUDs are highly heritable, developmental disorders with important genetic substrates. Building on these findings, new studies using genetically informative approaches are needed to elucidate the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in developmental trajectories of SUDs and comorbid conditions, deepen and refine phenotypic definitions of SUDs, and meet the methodologic challenges of the field. Such studies hold great potential to promote understanding of the true contributions of both genetic and environmental factors to initiation, progression, comorbidity, adverse outcomes, and desistance of SUDs; to elucidate mechanisms of risk; and to enhance opportunities for translation to treatment, prevention, gene-finding and molecular studies.

This notice constitutesa Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare DoD SERDP's intent to competitively fund research and development for environmental research that addresses the Statements of Need set forth in the Announcement. SERDP supports environmental research relevant to the management and mission of the DoD and supports efforts that lead to the development and application of innovative environmental technologies or methods that improve the environmental performance of DoD by improving outcomes, managing environmental risks, and/or reducing costs or time requiredto resolve environmental problems. The Program Announcement and complete submittal instructions are found on the DoD SERDP website at www.serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/SERDP-Solicitations/Non-Federal-Core-Proposal-Instructions. To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a pre-proposal in accordance with all instructions on the SERDP website no later than 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. No electronicmail or faxed proposals will be accepted. No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards may takethe form of contracts, grants or cooperative agreements. Submission of pre-proposals is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. The Government willnot pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals, travel to present oral presentations in support of the proposals, nor initial preparation and submission of a project plan. There is no commitment by SERDP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any money expended by the offeror beforecontract award is made. It is expected that multiple awards totaling approximately $8.0 million will be made dependent on the quality of proposals received andavailability of funds. Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The pre-proposal review step allows interested organizations to submit research pre-proposals for Government consideration without incurring the expense of a full proposal. Based upon the pre-proposal evaluation by SERDP, each of the pre-proposal submitters will be notified as to whether SERDP requests or does not request the submission of a full proposal. As noted in the instructions, evaluation criteria for pre-proposals are, in decreasing order of importance, Technical Merit, Personnel, and Cost. Due to the anticipated volume ofpre-proposals that will be received, SERDP will not provide debriefs on those that are not requested to submit a full proposal. Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award for that work. Evaluation criteria for full proposals will include Transition Plan and Small Business Participation, in addition to the criteria above. Small business participation is strongly encouraged as the government goal is that small business, historically black colleges, universities and minority institutionsparticipation represent 5 percent of the total contract award value. If a full proposal is requested and the proposed budget is $650,000 or more, a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) must accompany the full proposal, whether it is submitted by a large or small business vendor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712 with the small business size standard of 500 employees and $4.5M respectively. Prior to award, selected contract proposalsthat exceed $650,000 submitted by all but small business concerns must be accompanied by a Small, Small Disadvantaged and Woman-Owned, Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The HECSA Small Business Office website at www.hecsa.usace.army.mil/hxsb provides information on how to prepare a subcontracting plan, along with links to find small businesses to participate.

The CSRR was developed as a replacement for the existing OHIO Class submarine Integrated Radio Room (IRR). CSRR has been implemented on the USS OHIO, USS VIRGINIA, USS SEAWOLF, and USS LOS ANGELES Class submarines. The CSRR integrates physical components from other Programs Of Record (PORs) (i.e. Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), Digital Modular Radio (DMR), Extremely High Frequency/Follow-On Terminal (EHF/FOT), Global Broadcast Service (GBS), Super High Frequency (SHF), Submarine Single Messaging System (SubSMS), and ancillary equipment) into a common architecture. The CSRR C&M software effectively manages these physical components to control, process and disseminate Command, Control Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) information to provide the submarine fleet with secure, reliable, and covert communications. The technical approach to this effort is based on the concept of a CSRR that includes a common open systems architecture, common software, common technical documentation, and a single Software Support Activity (SSA). The common software configuration approach includes the structure of the code; the databases used to track requirements, software source files, baseline documentation, host equipments/processors, and the verification and validation process/ procedures. The contractor will be required to maintain and provide enhancements to the existing CSRR C&M software, the most recent version of which will be provided to the successful offeror at contract award. Software code and specification documents associated with the CSRR C&M software will be provided to industry on a separate secure site limited to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. The Government anticipates providing updated software code and documents periodically through the procurement process. It is the responsibility of interested offerors to monitor the information contained on the website to ensure they are accessing the most recent versions. To request access to the secure website, each company must sign and return the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) posted on the SPAWAR e-commerce site entitled, "Bidder's Repository NDA" and provide the e- mail address and phone number for up to two users to Patricia Ponce-Feliu patricia.poncefeliu@navy.mil. Each user is required to be a U.S. DoD contractor and have a valid DoD Common Access Card (CAC) or ECA issued PKI certificate to gain access to the website. If an interested company is a U.S. DoD contractor and does not have a valid DoD or ECA-issued PKI certificate, contact Mike Philbrook for further instruction. Once status as a US DoD contractor has been confirmed, the Government will provide instructions on how to access the secured site. The Government anticipates issuing a Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) type contract. The period of performance will be five (5) years (one base year and four one-year options). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330- Engineering Services. The estimated date for solicitation release is October 2012.CITE: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=ebd3b84e3d5e02b43e476ce1f8dc5402&tab=core&_cview=0 Posted 07/12/12 (W-SN02800944).
