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.

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.

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.

This announcement seeks out proposals that demonstrate and validate innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies and/or methodologies that will lead to accelerated closure of environmental sites across the Air Force and serve the Air Force's future environmental needs. Validated technologies and methodologies must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, policies and guidance in the EnvironmentalRestoration Program (ERP) and Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). This solicitation is not to test theoretical concepts or technologies and methodologies that currently exist solely in a laboratory research and development (R&D) phase or that have already been tested and validated multiple times in the field (i.e., a service). The Restoration Program areas of need for this announcement are: a. Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) Remediation Technologies: To date the Air Force has experienced little to no success regarding low energy technologies (i.e., passive in situ) for the remediation of PFCs. Additionally, discussions with3M and a review of Vecitis1 et al., 2009 indicate that simple oxidative and reductive approaches may not work with these recalcitrant compounds. Furthermore, proposers should be aware of ongoing studies funded through AFCEC BAA Program andDoD SERDP/ESTCP to avoid redundancy. In addition, the Air Force prefers in situremediation technologies; however, PFC remediation challenges may dictate the use of ex situ technologies. For example, treatment trains as part of an existingpump and treatment system may be appropriate. Beware that the Air Force has a policy that prohibits the installation of a new pump and treat system without Headquarters level approval. Therefore, proposals should identify PFCs innovative treatment technologies but any technology or methodology should consider any relative successes or failures as highlighted by Vecitis et al., 2009, AFCEC BAA Program, and DoD SERDP/ESTCP. b. 1,4-Dioxane Remediation Technologies: To date AFCEC BAA Program and DoD SERDP/ESTCP have funded many projects with particular focus on in situ treatment technologies for 1,4-dioxane groundwater remediation. Proposers should be aware of ongoing studies to avoid redundancy. The Air Force prefers in situ remediation technologies but recognizes the limitations of 1,4-dioxane remediation and will support the use of ex situ technologies. For example, treatment trains as part of an existing pump and treatment system may be appropriate. Additionally, the Air Force has a policy that prohibits the installation ofa new pump and treat system without Headquarters level approval. Therefore, proposals should identify 1,4-dioxane innovative treatment technologies but any technology or methodology should consider any relative successes or failures as highlighted by AFCEC BAA Program and DoD SERDP/ESTCP. Eligible Offeror/Applicants: This requirement is restricted to US - companies, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, and/or government agencies. Foreign participants and/or individuals may participate as subcontractors to the extent that such participants comply with any necessary Non-Disclosure Agreements, Security Regulations, Export Control Laws, and other governing statutes applicable under the circumstances.
