Grant (SIG) Program announcement. The application deadline is Monday,
March 23, 2009. Applications are limited to instruments that cost
at least $100,000 per instrument or integrated instrument system. The
maximum award under the program is $500,000. Funding decisions will be
based on scientific merit, availability of funds and relevance of program
priorities. To be eligible, a minimum of three major users must be principal
investigators on NIH peer reviewed research grants at the time of application
and award. The full text of the announcement can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/ JHU is eligible to submit more than one application
provided that each is for a different type of equipment. School of
Medicine faculty need to advise Gayle Mowbray Walters (gmwalters@jhmi.edu)
of interest in applying for this initiative no later than Monday, February
2, 2009 to insure that no more than one application for type of equipment
is intended. If more than one application for the same type of equipment
is planned, a decision will need to be made by the Vice Dean of Research.
NIH welcomes proposals for 2009 NIH Director's
Pioneer Awards and New Innovator Awards. Both programs are
part of the NIH Roadmap
for Medical Research and support exceptionally creative scientists
who take highly innovative, potentially high-impact approaches to major
challenges in biomedical or behavioral research. Pioneer Awards provide up to $2.5 million
in direct costs over 5 years and are open to scientists at any career
stage. New Innovator Awards provide up to $1.5 million in direct
costs over the same period and are for early career investigators who
have not received an NIH regular research (R01) or similar NIH grant.
Starting this year, both the Pioneer Award and the New Innovator Award
competitions will begin with a pre-application phase: The Pioneer Award competition begins with a proposal
submission period from November 17 to December 17, 2008. See Pre-Application

The Michael J. Fox Foundation (www.michaeljfox.org)
has announced the availability of total funding of up to $11 million in
2009 for research toward transformative treatments and a cure for Parkinson's
Disease. Funding is open to academic and industry researchers
through the foundation's Pipeline Programs, five separate initiatives
designed to forward research at every stage of the PD drug development
pipeline. This includes early-stage discovery research, translational
studies, and proof-of-principle/first-in-human clinical trials. There are a total of five Pipeline Programs
(one is industry-exclusive and not listed below):
Pre-proposals (required for all programs except
Rapid Response Innovation Awards) will be reviewed by the foundation's
scientific staff and a panel of scientific experts. Applicants whose pre-proposals
meet the review criteria will be invited to submit full proposals. For
each program, a conference call with MJFF Research Programs staff to further
clarify the aims and goals will be held in advance of the application
deadline. Additional research funds for the coming year will
be announced at later dates under the foundation's 2009 Critical Challenges
initiatives for programs that provide funding for top MJFF research priorities
and areas of particular emphasis. To learn more about MJFF programs and complete
program guidelines and deadlines, visit the foundation Web site's redesigned
