NIH Neuroscience Blueprint
Interdisciplinary Center Core Grants
Request For Applications (RFA) Number: RFA-NS-06-003
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-06-003.html
Program Description
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 NINDS on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint.
Neuroscience Blueprint Interdisciplinary Center Core Grants will
support centralized resources and facilities shared by neuroscience
investigators.
Each Center will be composed of one or more research cores, each
of which will enrich the effectiveness of ongoing research, and
promote
new research
directions.
Awards
The Center Core Grants provide up to $1.5 million per year in direct costs for 5 years. This RFA will use the NIH Center Core Grants (P30) award mechanism. An applicant organization is eligible for a maximum of one Neuroscience Blueprint Interdisciplinary Center Core Grant. Only one (1) application will be reviewed from a single applicant organization. The earliest anticipated start date is July 2006.
Deadlines
| UIC Internal NOI | November 1, 2005 |
| NIH Letter of Intent | December 19, 2005 |
| NIH Full Application | January 19, 2006 |
Eligibility
- Applications must have at least 15 qualifying research projects all of which will use the Center, and the usage level proposed for the qualifying projects must be sufficient to justify the size and scope of the Center requested.
- The 15 Qualifying Projects must include awards funded by at least four different Blueprint institutes.
- Qualifying research
projects include only
- Blueprint institute-funded Research Project (R01),
- MERIT Award (R37),
- Research Project—Cooperative Agreements (U01),
- Program Project (P01),
- Specialized Center (P50), and
- Specialized Center—Cooperative Agreements (U54) awards provided that there is no overlap between the requested Center and existing cores associated with the P01, P50, or U54 awards. (Each P01, P50 or U54 award will count as one qualifying research project.)
- An applicant organization is eligible for a maximum of one Neuroscience Blueprint Interdisciplinary Center Core Grant. An institution that contributes qualifying projects to an application from a different institution is still eligible to apply, but specific qualifying projects can be used in only one application.
Please see RFA-NS-06-003 for guidelines and all eligibility requirements.
