Implicating Noncoding RNAs in the Genetics of Mental Disorders (Collaborative R01): -The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to invite applications that investigate the role of microRNAs and other noncoding RNAs in the etiology of mental disorders. The data generated by this effort will contribute to the disaggregation of the molecular machinery underlying mental disorders by integrating sequence specific modulators of post-transcriptional gene expression into a theoretical framework of disease pathophysiology. -The NIMH intends to commit approximately $3,000,000 in total costs in FY 2007 to fund 5-7 grants in response to this RFA and RFA-MH-07-040. -This RFA will use the Collaborative R01 award mechanism and is issued in conjunction with RFA-MH-07-040 for the R01 mechanism. -Based on the particular science proposed and the determined need for substantial involvement by NIMH staff, NIMH may convert a linked set of collaborative R01s into cooperative agreement U01s or U10s, following the peer review. -Eligible organizations include for-profit or non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospital, and laboratories, units of state and local government, domestic or foreign institutions/organizations. -Eligible principal investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are 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
