National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC) Limited Competition (U01): The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invite applications to continue projects currently funded at the four National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC) sites for a 5-year period beginning April 1, 2008. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications to not only continue the current functions of the NNTC but to also expand the scope by requiring a proposed scientific agenda for the sites. The applications will therefore contain two separate sections. Part A is an identical description across all sites that will propose an overall NNTC scientific agenda and data sharing plan and Part B is an individual description from each site with fully justified budgets that discusses site recruitment, retention, and collection procedures and practices as well as how the individual site will address the broader NNTC scientific agenda. The NNTC is supported in its functions by a data coordinating center (DCC), currently known as the National Coordination Office (NCO). Competitive applications for a DCC are being sought under a separate but related RFA (see RFA-MH-08-020). The NIMH intends to commit up to $4.95 million total costs and the NINDS intends to commit up to $2.5 million total costs in FY 2008 to fund 4 NNTC sites for a period of 5 years. This FOA will use the Cooperative Agreement (U01) award mechanism. Eligible Principal Investigators and organizations include: Applications may only be submitted by the 4 current PIs, or an appropriate designee from the institutions that represent the current 4 NNTC sites. An applicant institution may submit only one application in response to this RFA Resubmissions (formerly revisions/amendments ) will not be accepted under this RFA. At this time it is not known whether or not this RFA will be reissued.
