Computational Modeling for Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep Biologists: Introductory Courses (T15): -The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites applications for development, implementation and subsequent evaluation of short courses to introduce computational modeling to biomedical researchers and clinician-scientists. These courses are expected to promote interdisciplinary research and training by increasing the number of researchers with knowledge and skills to apply both experimental and computational approaches to heart, lung, blood, and sleep research. -The NHLBI intends to commit approximately $2.8 M for FY 2007-2010 ($0.7 M in FY2007) to fund up to three new grants. -This funding opportunity will use the Continuing Education Training Program (T15) award mechanism. These awards are not a part of the National Research Service Awards Program (NRSA) of the Public Health Service. NHLBI T15 policy is available at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/funding/policies/t15_policy.htm. However, the policies and requirements of the NHLBI program are similar in many respects to NRSA awards. Facilities and Administrative costs will be reimbursed at 8%. -NHLBI T15 awards are not renewable. -Eligible organizations include domestic, for profit and non-profit, public and private institutions such as universities, colleges, and hospitals. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. -Eligible principal investigators include those with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed courses. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -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
