Grant Description: The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience is a framework to enhance cooperative activities among the NIH Office of the Director and 15 NIH Institutes and Centers that support research on the nervous system. By pooling resources and expertise, the Blueprint takes advantage of economies of scale, confronts challenges too large for any single Institute or Center, and develops research tools and infrastructure that will serve the entire neuroscience community. In 2007, the Blueprint is focusing on neurodegeneration. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits short-term mentored career development (K18) grant applications from established investigators seeking short-term mentored career development and enhancement training experiences of six-twelve months, for example, during a sabbatical year, to acquire new interdisciplinary perspectives and capabilities in research on neurodegeneration. The participating organizations intend to commit a total of $1,250,000 to this FOA for payment of applications responsive to this announcement.
