HRSA-06-051 Utilizing Family Tradition and Oral History for Heath Promotion
LOI: Nov 21, 2005
Due Date: Jan 13, 2005
Amount: $600,000
Description: The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to facilitate the public's learning process and knowledge of the genetic contribution to health and disease, the public's genetic "literacy", through educational tool development and dissemination of educational tools. Genetic literacy includes knowing about benefits, risks, and limitations of genetic screening and testing, as well as the implications of medical genetic information in a health care setting, including knowledge of relevant financial, ethical, legal and socio-cultural issues.

HRSA-06-063 Healthy Behaviors in Women
Due Date: December 02, 2005
Amount: $450,000.00
Description: The goal of this program is to develop and demonstrate creative and innovative approaches that are effective in reducing the prevalence of overweight/obesity in women by increasing the number of women who adopt positive, healthy, lifestyles. The interventions implemented must be substantive in nature, incorporate nutrition, physical activity and health/wellness components, while also positively impacting knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. These approaches should target women in communities who have limited access to preventive health services, and when appropriate linked to other relevant services to comprehensively address their health needs. Proposals must include women who are members of racial ethnic minority populations who are disproportionately affected by overweight/obesity.

PA-05-14 Structural Interventions, Alcohol Use, and Risk of HIV/AIDS
Due Date: January 2, 2006
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This PA requests research on the effectiveness of structural interventions that reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by changing the environment of alcohol use. Although a variety of structural and environmental interventions have been employed successfully to reduce other drinking-related problems, there has been little research that extends such efforts into the realm of HIV/AIDS risk reduction. Applicants are especially encouraged to examine the ramifications for HIV/AIDS risk of naturally occurring or already-announced changes in alcohol-related laws, regulations, programs or policies.

PAS-06-054 Non-injection Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS
Due Date: February 1, 2006, June 1, and October 1, 2006
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This PA seeks to understand the contribution of non-injection drug abuse to the acquisition and/or transmission and/or disease progression of HIV/AIDS. Specifically, it seeks to: 1) investigate how, where, why, and among whom HIV/AIDS spreads through high-risk sexual behavior associated with non-injection drug use; 2) develop effective prevention interventions and treatment for non-injection drug users at risk for or infected with HIV; and 3) improve accessibility and utilization of evidence-based, integrated care for non-injection drug abuse, risky sexual behavior, and HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. The PA will support research employing a range of methodological approaches including basic, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, and treatment studies as well as multidisciplinary research in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences to contribute to knowledge in these areas.

RFA-DA-06-001 Enhancing Practice Improvement in Community-Based Care for Prevention and Treatment of Drug Abuse or Co-occurring Drug Abuse and Mental Disorders
LOI: November 18, 2005
Due Date: December 19, 2005
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This initiative aims to help develop research capacity in a group that historically has been the object rather than the initiator of research-to-practice investigations. Accordingly, this request for applications (RFA) is intended to enhance the capacity of community-based providers of drug abuse prevention/treatment services, including services for individuals with co-occurring mental disorders, to conduct practice improvement research. Such research may entail the examination of therapeutic and/or business practices currently in use but lacking scientific evidence of effectiveness, or it may entail examination of the adoption, implementation, and sustained use of science-based therapeutic and/or business innovations.

PA-05-164 Recent HIV Infection: New Prevention Challenges and Opportunities
LOI: None Required
Due Date: February 1, 2006, June 1, and October 1, 2006
Amount: See Announcement
Description: This PA solicits innovative basic or applied research applications that will advance prevention opportunities to reduce transmission risk or minimize neuro-cognitive impairment in persons with recent HIV infection (i.e., 0 ? 6 months post-exposure). Principal Investigators are urged to develop new research that extends knowledge of the basic biological processes of acute and early HIV disease to address the specific prevention needs of highly infectious, newly infected persons who may account for a disproportionate share of secondary HIV transmissions.

RFA-AA-06-003 Underage Drinking: Building Health Care System Responses
LOI: November 19, 2005
Due Date: Dec 19, 2005
Amount: $400,000.00
Description: This is Phase I of a two-part RFA. It solicits applications for cooperative agreements (U01s) to enable rural and small urban health care systems to become platforms for research programs on underage drinking. More specifically NIAAA seeks to fund such systems: (1) to assess the extent of underage drinking the areas they serve (Phase 1) and (2) develop capacity for intervening with this problem. Phase 2 will fund systems that have successfully completed Phase 1 to implement and evaluate interventions designed to address underage alcohol consumption in the areas they serve.

PAR-05-144 Developing Centers for Innovation in Services and Intervention Research (DCISIR)
LOI: May 1 annually thereafter
Due Date: June 1 annually thereafter
Amount: $400,000
Description: The ultimate goal of this program announcement (PA) is to establish support for groups of researchers to develop intervention and services research studies that will directly address the missions of NIMH and NIAAA and to prepare these research groups to develop advanced centers. Developing interdisciplinary research teams for the future, including public-private partnerships; and re-engineering the clinical research enterprise. The intervention and services research needed to provide pragmatic information for decision making, improve current community practice, and ultimately reduce the burden of mental illness and of alcohol-related problems for youth and adults requires (a) the creation and adoption of novel methodological and organizational approaches, (b) the use of behavioral, social, economic, and/or political theories to transport interventions into community settings, (c) the creation of sustainable community partnerships, and (d) the creation of sustainable multidisciplinary research teams that can work cooperatively and creatively to find new ways to get the right package of mental health care to the people who need it most and ultimately improve their functioning and quality of life. This PA is intended as a mechanism to build capacity at qualified institutions to achieve these goals and those of the NIH Roadmap initiative.
