Title
Obesity Nutrition Research Centers (P30)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The objective of the Obesity Nutrition Research Center is to bring together clinical and basic science investigators from relevant disciplines to enhance and extend the effectiveness of research related to the field of obesity, eating disorders, and energy regulation, with clinical and/or translational applications in these areas. A Core Center must be an identifiable unit within a university or medical center or a consortium of cooperating institutions, including an affiliated university. An existing program of excellence in biomedical basic and clinical research in the areas of obesity, eating disorders, and energy regulation is required.
The research base related to obesity can include a focus on behavior, physical activity, energy metabolism, body composition, cell biology, or nutrient metabolism. Other nutritional sciences research may be included if the investigators make use of the same core services as justified by the research base related to obesity. It would be highly desirable that the principal investigator, as well as the applicant institution, have a commitment to the treatment and prevention of obesity. Applicants should consult with NIDDK staff concerning plans for the development of the Center and the organization of the application.
The Obesity Nutrition Research Centers are based on the core concept. Four to six cores are usually included in a center. Cores are defined as shared resources that enhance productivity or in other ways benefit a group of investigators working in the center to accomplish the stated goals of the center. Examples of such resources include biostatistics, imaging, biotechnology, and instrumentation facilities. It is appropriate and may be beneficial to have one or more central themes around which core center research investigations are focused.
Centers are encouraged to include a clinical component. This clinical component can exist as a stand alone core or part of another core such as the administrative core. Besides leading to a better understanding of disease etiology and natural history of disease, clinical components might provide biostatistics support; enhance clinical study design; foster collaboration among researchers; aid in recruitment of subjects for clinical studies; support epidemiological studies; or provide modest funding for tissue, DNA, or serum storage. In addition, a clinical component may more effectively address NIH policies concerning issues of children, women, and ethnic minority participation in clinical studies.
The availability of a clinic population with adequate representation of women and minorities that can be readily utilized by investigators will play a major role in attracting investigators to the field of obesity research and will serve as a resource in the design of pilot and feasibility projects.

Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program (T32)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
This new Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program, issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), seeks to build upon the established foundations in exposure biology and high throughput genomics and expands the base to include additional scientific disciplines, such as human genetics, population genetics/genomics, statistics, epidemiology, environmental genomics/genetics, mechanistic environmental health sciences, systems biology, metabolomics, engineering, computational biology, behavioral medicine, other clinical and biomedical elements, and other relevant areas, to define a new interdisciplinary science which can address the relative roles of genes and environmental exposures in complex diseases.
The goal is to produce a new generation of scientists who are equally at home in genomics and environmental health sciences and can seamlessly interact with both groups of scientists. This cadre of scientists will not only be equipped to advance methodologies and technologies in Environmental Genomics/Genetics, but also use these tools and resources to disentangle and evaluate the enormous number of environmental factors which directly influence or interact with some genotypes to determine the resultant phenotypic expression and clinical or physiologic endpoints.
Applicants to the program will need to elaborate their vision of the shared conceptual framework to the Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program and identify a focus or theme within the research training needs of the larger interdiscipline that the proposed research training program intends to address. Each research training program is expected to build upon the research, faculty, didactic, infrastructure and grant support strengths of the Institution and meld these elements into a cohesive training experience.

Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI)
Agencies
Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)
Description
Advances in genomics, quantitative structural biology, and modeling of complex systems have created opportunities for an exciting research career at the interface between the physical/computational sciences and the biological sciences. Tackling key problems in biology will require scientists trained in areas such as chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Recognizing the vital role such cross-trained scientists will play in furthering biomedical science, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) has developed the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI). These grants provide bridging support to foster the early career development of researchers with backgrounds in the physical/computational sciences whose work addresses biological questions and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.
Award recipients are required to devote at least 80 percent of their time to research-related activities and are expected to draw from their training in a scientific field other than biology to propose innovative approaches to answer important questions in the biological sciences. Examples of approaches include, but are not limited to, physical measurement of biological phenomena, computer simulation of complex processes in physiological systems, mathematical modeling of self-organizing behavior, building probabilistic tools for medical diagnosis, developing novel imaging tools or biosensors, applying nanotechnology to manipulate cellular systems, predicting cellular responses to topological clues and mechanical forces, and developing a new conceptual understanding of the complexity of living organisms. Proposals that include experimental validation of theoretical models are particularly encouraged.
