RFAs
Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research via Methodological and Technological Innovation in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R21)
RFA-RM-07-004
Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): January 23, 2007
Application Submission/Receipt Date(s): February 23, 2007
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to advance the understanding of health through development of new/innovative methodologies and technologies to support the interdisciplinary integration of social and/or behavioral scientific disciplines with other disciplines. This announcement supports proposals that integrate across various levels of analysis, ranging from sub-individual to population levels. Note that in this FOA any reference to methodologies or methods includes analytic approaches, research design, and measures.
Field-Deployable Tools for Quantifying Exposures to Psychosocial Stress and to Addictive Substances for Studies of Health and Disease (U01)
RFA-DA-07-005
Expiration Date: December 23, 2006
This initiative addresses barriers to personal exposure assessment by fostering the development, improvement and/or adaptation, and validation of measurement technologies which, by the end of the funding period, will be field-deployable tools (rather than laboratory-based prototypes) that detect personal exposure to psychosocial stress and/or addictive substances (licit and illicit). This initiative will promote the measurement of exposure with maximal precision, quantification, and reliability with a high degree of temporal (acute or chronic) and spatial resolution for application in large-scale studies of human health and disease.

PAs
Biobehavioral Methods to Improve Outcomes Research
PA-07-008
Expiration Date: September 8, 2008
The National Cancer Institute would like to encourage methodological and technological innovation among biobehavioral studies that use cancer as the disease paradigm and seek to improve clinical outcome (e.g., quality of life, symptom management, disease progression). Research using innovative methods to study the interface between behavioral factors (e.g., stress, affect, coping), tumor biology (e.g., angiogenesis, T-cell regulation, inflammation, viral oncogenesis) and other biological mechanisms (e.g., apoptosis, DNA repair), and cancer control are appropriate.

Symptom Clusters in Cancer and Immune Disorders (R01)
PA-07-074
Expiration Date: January 8, 2008
The purpose of this initiative is to solicit research to elucidate the presence of symptom clusters in one or more cancers or immune disorders, their management, and the impact of such management upon patient outcomes. It seeks to stimulate research on the characterization of symptom clusters, and the design and testing of interventions addressing symptoms that have demonstrated interactions and/or common pathways. In this way, knowledge can be developed and applied to the management of symptom clusters in relation to a variety of physiological, psychosocial, and demographic factors.

PARs
Small Grants Program for Behavioral Research in Cancer Control (R03)
PAR-06-458
Expiration Date: December 23, 2008
This initiative is intended to facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of research expertise in cancer control behavioral research. Small grants are two-year awards that provide support for pilot projects, development and testing of new methodologies, secondary data analyses, or innovative projects that provide a basis for more extended research.
Program contact: Veronica Chollette, R.N.
