NIDA NEUROPROTEOMICS RESEARCH CENTERS (NIDA NPRCs): The National Institute on Drug Abuse is requesting applications for the support of Neuroproteomics Research Centers (NPRCs). These Centers should be built around scientific themes that address questions relevant to the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Centers will support already existing neuroscience research, provide training in proteomics technologies and develop new proteomics technologies. The objective of this program is to provide technical and administrative support for proteomics Centers in order to increase the accessibility of the Centers to neuroscience researchers at institutions with a demonstrated need for such a resource, to develop new or improve existing proteomics technologies that would be applied to the analysis of tissues of the nervous system and promote sharing of information with the scientific community. While Centers should be at institutions that have extensive ongoing neurobiology research, they will not be restricted to working solely with investigators from their own institution. The objectives in establishing these Centers are to: (1) provide neurobiologists with the ability to benefit from proteomics experiments, (2) build a cadre of proteomics experts who will develop expertise in analyzing neural tissues, and (3) develop new or improve existing proteomics technologies as they relate to neurobiology or tissues of the nervous system. This announcement does not support the purchase of large pieces of equipment ($100,000 +). Investigators may seek funding from the National Center for Research Resources at the NIH for the purchase of equipment. http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/rsrch_funding.asp
