Brain Disorders in the Developing World: Research Across the Lifespan (R21)
|
|
Description
|
The participating organizations intend to commit approximately $2,000,000 in FYs 2007 and 2008 to fund 5 to 15 applications.
The purpose of the Brain Disorders in the Developing World: Research Across the Lifespan FOA is to support the development and conduct of innovative, collaborative research and research training projects between developed and developing country scientists on brain disorders throughout life that are relevant to low- and middle-income nations. The collaborative research programs are expected to (1) involve research on neurological/neurodevelopmental (including sensory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral) function and impairment throughout life, and (2) contribute to the long-term goal of building sustainable research capacity in developing countries to initiate and conduct such research.
All projects should (1) involve a partnership between developed and developing country individuals or research teams; (2) lead to the pursuit of basic, epidemiological, clinical, prevention, intervention, or health services research in the area of brain disorders of relevance to developing countries; and (3) build capacity, as necessary, in the proposed research area to enable further research to take place.
The R21 grant will provide support to assess needs; to initiate preliminary studies and training; and to organize, plan, prepare, and assemble the information and data for an application for a more comprehensive R01 application involving collaboration between the developed and developing country investigators.
Relevant research topics should be related to neurodevelopmental disabilities and neurological disorders, including cognitive, motor, sensory, and behavioral impairment from birth to advanced age. Research findings must be relevant to the collaborating developing nation(s). Some examples are mental retardation; seizure disorders, such as epilepsy; movement disorders, such as Parkinson's and dementias - including those related to age and those caused by HIV, malaria, or other infections.

Award Amount Notes
|
Applicants may request a project period of up to two years and a budget for direct costs of up to $100,000 per year in modules of $25,000.
Applications received in response to this program announcement will compete for funds in the general funding pool of the participating NIH ICs. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. Although the financial plans of the participating NIH ICs provide support for this program, the number and size of the awards pursuant to this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications relevant to the interests of each sponsor.
Each award will be administered by one of the participating NIH ICs or other participating agencies, although several co-sponsors may participate in the funding of any given application.
The Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR) will consider meritorious applications, relevant to their missions, involving Canadian institutions.
The National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR) will consider support for scientifically meritorious autism-related research proposals and will provide direct funding to meritorious applicants.
The participating organizations intend to commit approximately $2,000,000 in FYs 2007 and 2008 to fund five to 15 applications.
