NINDS Institutional Center Core Grants to Support Neuroscience Research (P30) PAR-08-116
Program Summary
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites applications for Center Core Grants to support neuroscience research. The purpose of this program is to advance the NINDS mission to promote understanding and treatment of neurological disorders by providing core research facilities that are not otherwise available. This support, by providing more accessible resources, is expected to assure a greater productivity than would be possible from the separate projects. An applicant organization is eligible for a maximum of one NINDS Center Core Grant.
NINDS Center Core Grants will support centralized resources and facilities shared by investigators with existing NINDS-funded research projects. 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. A Center Core Grant will support individual neuroscience research projects by providing necessary resources and performing required services that would be difficult or impractical to provide in individual labs. Center Core Grants will foster a cooperative and interactive research environment through which multidisciplinary approaches to neuroscience problems and joint research efforts will be stimulated. The applicant organization is encouraged to consider a plan to co-fund the Center, in order to maximize its utility and effectiveness.
The NINDS Center Core Grants program is intended to support research infrastructure cores. The cores will support the generation of research results for Center users, but will not include independent research project or technology development components. The program will not provide support for cores that support clinical trials, provide patients services, or conduct pilot projects.
UIC is restricted to one application. To receive a Center Core Grant award, an institution must have at least five qualifying NINDS-funded research projects at the time of application submission.
