| American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) | AFAR Research Grants | The major goal of this program is to assist in the development of the careers of junior investigators committed to pursuing careers in the field of aging research. AFAR supports research projects concerned with understanding the basic mechanisms of aging. Projects investigating age-related diseases are also supported, especially if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to these outcomes. Projects concerning mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders are also encouraged, as long as these include connections to fundamental problems in the biology of aging. | 12/15/2009 | Grants - GSU-288 |

| DOD | Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Clinical Treatment Research Amoung Active Duty Army Soldiers | U.S. Army Soldiers are enduring unyielding high operational tempo in garrison and the combat field of operations in order to keep pace with ongoing Wartime mission requirements. The high tempo and increasingly common multiple deployments present many human physical and psychological challenges (Military Health Advisory Team IV (MHAT-IV), 2006; MHAT-V, 2008) that have a rippling effect on Soldier well-being as well as Army retention and recruitment. According to seminal work by Hoge et al. (2004), an estimated 17% of active duty Soldiers screened positive for deployment-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) post deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF); recent estimates (MHAT V, 2008) were suggested to be within the estimated ranges. PTSD is often complicated by other behavioral health problems including depression, alcohol and other drug (AOD) use, and suicide/suicide-related behavior (e.g., Seal, Bertenthal, Miner, Sen, & Marmar, 2007). All evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral based exposure therapies (Foa, Keane, & Friedman, 2000), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy (e.g., Rothbaum, 1997; Shapiro, 2001), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (e.g., Brady et al., 2000), are only partially effective (Friedman, Keane, & Resick, 2007). The complicated presentation of PTSD may likely contribute to the finding that existing evidence-based treatments are up to 50% ineffective in treating PTSD symptoms. | 11/24/2009 | Co-operative agreement - W81XWH-09-MOMRP-PTSDTX |

| NIH | NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Competitive Revisions for Studies Focused on Neuropathic Pain or Neural Plasticity to Promote Collaborative Pain Research (R01) | The Neuroscience Blueprint is a collaborative framework through which 16 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices jointly support neuroscience-related research, with the aim of accelerating discoveries and reducing the burden of nervous system disorders (for further information, see http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/). The goal of this FOA is to facilitate the partnering of pain scientists and non-pain neuroscientists from the field of neural plasticity to capture insights and expertise from disciplines where transitions from health to disease have been extensively examined. An expected outcome of this FOA will be the formation of partnerships between pain researchers and non-pain neuroscientists to develop new collaborations focused on understanding the maladaptive neuroplastic changes that occur during the transition from acute to chronic pain. It is anticipated that these initial collaborations will lead to new applications for highly innovative projects centered on similar studies of the transition from acute to chronic pain. The purpose of this FOA is to encourage the submission of competitive revision applications that propose a collaborative, one year pilot study or a new specific aim associated with an active NIH grant. The parent grant may be focused on pain or on neural plasticity outside the area of pain. | 11/23/2009 | Grant - PAR-09-264 |

The ultimate goal is to gain an in depth understanding of the mechanisms by which the Apolipoprotein E e4 allele confers increased AD risk for the purpose of advancing the overall search for efficacious AD treatments and Apolipoprotein E e4-directed therapeutics in particular. To this end we encourage research spanning multiple levels of analysis in multiple species (from mice to man). Studies aimed at identifying new therapeutic targets for the treatment of AD and other age-related neurodegenerative conditions associated with lipid neurobiology are strongly encouraged. Also of great interest are projects that aim to use lipidomics, various types of imaging and other cutting edge technologies to identify and develop early biomarkers of neurodegeneration associated lipid dyshomeostasis. | 3/5/2010 | Grant - PA-09-217 |
