Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award: - The purpose of the Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award is to encourage collaborative research investigations among scientists at minority institutions and grantees from leading research laboratories that have NIH or equivalent grant support to conduct neuroscience research. - The CNS award will support an investigator-initiated research project in which the applicant and collaborating neuroscientist(s) work in a clearly defined area of mutual research interest. - 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. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. - This PA will use the Minority Biomedical Research Support Thematic Project Grant (S11) funding mechanism. - Eligible organizations include for-profit or non-profit organizations and public or private academic institutions such as universities and colleges that offer the Ph.D., M.D., and/or equivalent health professional degrees, at which more that 50 percent of the students enrolled are individuals from racial and ethnic groups that have been shown by the National Science Foundation to be underrepresented in health-related sciences on a national basis (see http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/women/start.htm). - Eligible principal investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. The applicant principle investigator must be a new investigator who holds a doctoral degree in a basic or clinical neuroscience area, has completed two or more years of formal postdoctoral neuroscience research, and who holds an appointment equivalent to assistant professor at the applicant institution. The collaborating investigator must be a grantee from a research-intensive institution that has current NIH or equivalent support to conduct neuroscience research (e.g., R01, P01). - Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct. - See Section IV.1 for application materials. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088
