Grant Description: The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), through the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR), invites applications for grants to build research infrastructure by providing access to expertise, technologies, and resources from allied fields such as neurosciences, engineering, applied behavior, and the social sciences. Medical rehabilitation involves basic and clinical studies in the domains of pathophysiology, impairment, functional limitation, disability, and societal interaction. Increasingly, research breakthroughs and potential therapeutic strategies are the result of integrating expertise from allied fields as well as building up a core understanding of rehabilitative mechanisms and clinical outcomes. Access to technologies and approaches from allied fields is key to promoting multidisciplinary collaborations and developing research opportunities. Centralized research infrastructure will enhance the capability of medical rehabilitation investigators to understand mechanisms of functional recovery, develop therapeutic strategies, and improve the lives of people with disabilities. The aim of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to create a national network of research cores that will provide access to collateral expertise in biomedical, behavioral, and/or psychosocial fields that is particularly relevant to current opportunities in medical rehabilitation research. Applicants should propose a program of training, research resources, and collaborative opportunities in a specific content area. This may be accomplished through a combination of didactic interactions (workshops, courses, written material, and websites), consultations, sabbatical opportunities, and pilot funding. In addition, the research core may support intramural activities related to technique development, adaptation, and validation. Although examples of relevant expertise and content are provided below, additional areas may be proposed provided they are complementary to what is typically available in rehabilitation-related departments and appropriate for promoting medical rehabilitation research and improving outcomes. To aid potential applicants, a special website has been established to address administrative or logistical issues and to respond to frequently asked questions (FAQs). Potential applicants are encouraged to consult this website (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/RFA/HD-04-005/HD-04-005.htm) for additional information.
