Course Development in the Neurobiology of Disease: - This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a trans-NIH partnership to accelerate neuroscience research. Fifteen Institutes and Centers are participating in the Neuroscience Blueprint. This RFA will be administered by the NIMH on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint. - This funding opportunity supports the development and initiation or the significant expansion of courses on the neurobiology of disease for graduate students receiving basic neuroscience training. It is expected that each course will span a breadth of diseases and disorders affecting the nervous system, emphasizing links and common themes across diseases/disorders, and addressing both the pathology of these diseases/disorders and their basic science underpinnings. - The participating Institutes have committed approximately $1.2M to support this RFA in FY05. However, the total amount awarded and the number of awards made will depend upon the number, quality, and cost of the applications received. - It is anticipated that approximately 15 awards will be made. An applicant may request a project period of up to two years with direct costs up to $75,000 in year 1 and up to $50,000 in year 2. - This RFA will use the research education grant (R25) mechanism. - Only domestic, non-profit, public or private institutions may apply for this RFA. To be eligible to apply, these institutions must have a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grant (T32) focused on basic neuroscience training that has a predoctoral component and that was awarded by one of the 15 participating NIH Institutes and Centers. T32s with only a postdoctoral component do not confer eligibility. Moreover, there must be a minimum of one full year remaining on this T32 on September 30, 2005. This one-year period may reflect either the current performance period of the eligible T32 or the performance period of a competing T32 application pending award at the time of application for this RFA. - Eligible principal investigators include, but are not limited to, individuals with a track record in graduate neuroscience education and program directors of basic neuroscience institutional training grants. - Each eligible institution may submit only one application to develop and initiate or significantly expand a graduate level course on the neurobiology of disease that will be available to the entire neuroscience community at that institution. - The PHS 398 application kit is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format. - Telecommunication for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. An eligible institution (e.g., a university) may submit only a single application in response to this funding opportunity. For the purposes of this RFA, components of a large or multi-component organization that are sufficiently independent to constitute, in effect, separate organizations are considered separate institutions. For example, the multiple campuses of the University of California system are considered separate institutions. However, the medical school, engineering school, dental school, etc., of a university, even if on different campuses, constitute a single institution. Multiple applications from different divisions, faculties, schools, centers, etc. at the same institution will not be reviewed. The applicant institution must have strong research and graduate training programs in the neurosciences. The applicant institution must also have an active Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grant (T32) focused on basic neuroscience training that has a predoctoral component and that was awarded by one of the 15 NIH Institutes and Centers participating in the Neuroscience Blueprint. Moreover, there must be a minimum of one full year remaining on the qualifying T32 on September 30, 2005. This one-year period may reflect either the current performance period of the eligible T32 or the performance period of a competing T32 application pending award at the time of application in response to this RFA. It may not reflect a period of no-cost extension. T32s with only a postdoctoral component do not confer eligibility. T32 program directors are encouraged to contact their NIH program officer to verify that their T32 confers eligibility t! o apply for this funding opportunity.
