External funding programs sponsored by federal, state
and local governments along with private foundations and corporations
enable our faculty and staff to conduct research and initiate special
projects that otherwise would not have the necessary financing. Because
there are numerous sources and types of funding, identifying appropriate
programs can be time-consuming and complicated. The Office of
Research and Sponsored Programs is here to help guide you and to make
the process go more smoothly.
You can start with the information and links provided
below, and if you'd like personalized help, call or e-mail ORSPA's IT
Coordinator, Carole Thomason, at 9-6059 or

Special Focus Competition:
European Union-United States Atlantis Program;
The purpose of the program is to provide grants for or enter into
cooperative agreements with eligible applicants to improve postsecondary
education. This priority is designed to support the formation of
educational consortia of American and European institutions to support
cooperation in the coordination of curricula, the exchange of students,
and the opening of educational opportunities between the United States
(U.S.) and the European Union (EU). This priority relates to the purpose
of the European Union-United States Atlantis (Atlantis) Program to
develop and implement undergraduate joint or dual degree programs, or
short-term exchange programs. Application deadline is April 2,
2008.

Outcomes,
Cost-Effectiveness and the Decision Making Process to Use Complementary
and Alternative Medicine
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)
and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invite applications for funding
of observational studies evaluating the effectiveness and
cost-effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)
approaches as used in the community, and studies of the decision
processes employed by patients and providers in deciding to use CAM.
Such studies will provide health care providers, patients and policy
makers with additional information on which to base decisions concerning
the incorporation of CAM into an integrated healthcare system.
This FOA specifically encourages studies of
how CAM therapies function in actual healthcare settings, where
patients may have multiple problems and utilize multiple therapies,
both CAM and conventional. This FOA emphasizes observational
studies and secondary data analyses evaluating the use of CAM in
real-world settings. Examples of the types of projects this
initiative could support include case-control studies, retrospective
observational studies, secondary analyses of existing data, and
prospective observational studies.
Projects in which the investigators assign
participants to specific therapies (CAM or conventional) or groups
of therapies (CAM or conventional) are NOT ALLOWED under this FOA.
Application Deadline: May 19, 2008

Research on the
Economics of Diet, Activity and Energy Balance
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
is intended to make funding opportunities in the area of energy
balance (i.e., the relationship between diet, physical activity,
and body composition) known to researchers with expertise and
experience in health economics, health services, and econometric
modeling including multi-level analyses who otherwise might not
be aware of the opportunity to apply their disciplines efforts
collectively and collaboratively to this area of research.
Especially, this FOA aims to promote collaborative activities
between researchers trained in economics and researchers
specializing in public health, cancer, cardiovascular diseases,
and other chronic diseases. Research areas supported by this
FOA include: community structure and the built environment;
food, agriculture, zoning and other policy; industrial
organization; cost-effectiveness/cost benefit studies; and
consumer economics. This FOA is designed to foster a
transdisciplinary research approach that integrates economics
with knowledge, assumptions, and methodologies from other social
and behavioral sciences, and with epidemiological and clinical
research. Application deadlines are February 16,
June 16, and October 16, 2008.

March of Dimes
2009 Research Program
The March of
Dimes invites all qualified scientists with
faculty appointments or the equivalent, at universities, hospitals
and research institutions, to submit applications for research
grants directed at the prevention of birth defects. Research
subjects appropriate for support by the March of Dimes include basic
biological processes governing development, genetics, clinical
studies, studies of reproductive health, environmental toxicology,
and social and behavioral studies.
(In
Social and Behavioral Sciences, we are interested in applications
proposing research that advances our understanding of – and
therefore our ability to prevent – the cognitive and behavioral
risks that affect outcomes of pregnancy, the perinatal period, and
subsequent child development. Because change in behavior is an
important component of several of our campaigns, we are interested
in studies that address this method of prevention.)
The deadline for
a Letter of Intent (submitted through an online process) is
April 30, 2008.
