NIH
- NIH Loan Repayment Programs
- In exchange for a two or three-year (for Intramural General Research) commitment to your research career, NIH will repay up to $35,000 per year of your qualified educational debt.
- U.S. citizenship (or national or permanent resident status), a doctoral-level degree, and educational debt equal to at least 20% of your base salary.
- For two years (at least 20 hours weekly based on a 40 hour week) you must conduct qualified research at a nonprofit institution, funded by a domestic nonprofit or US government (Federal, state or local) entity.
- LRPs are competitive. If your application is accepted and you enter the program, NIH will repay half of your qualified repayable educational debt in two years (up to $70,000).
- In addition, you can compete for additional loan repayments to repay your remaining debt.
- NIH provides the entire LRP application on line – plus a Help Line is available to answer your questions.

- The NIH Neuroscience Blueprint – microarray centers
- The NIH Neuroscience Blueprint (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/) has funded a consortium of four microarray centers to serve the expression profiling and SNP genotyping needs of investigators in neuroscience who are grantees of the 15 Blueprint institutes (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/participating.html).
- The consortium provides advice on experimental design, experimental services, data analysis, manuscript preparation support, and training. Extensive expertise, laser-capture microdissection, and multiple microarray platforms are available.
- Your funded award allows access to the consortium to perform neuroscience experiments, and because NIH pays most consortium costs, user fees are very reasonable.
- If your research program in neuroscience would benefit from expression profiling or SNP genotyping data, please consider using the services of the NIH Neuroscience Microarray Consortium (http://arrayconsortium.tgen.org).
For further information, please contact the consortium coordinator, Ms. Sarah Brautigam, at arrayconsortium@tgen.org or (602) 343-8732.

Health Effects Institute
- Request for Applications 05-1: Studies to Compare Components and Characteristics of Particulate Matter Associated with Health Effects
- This RFA solicits applications from multidisciplinary teams for studies to compare the toxicity and health effects related to different chemical or physical properties of particulate matter (PM).
- The intent of the RFA is to fund proposals that address multiple characteristics of PM. The effects of concomitant exposure to gaseous pollutants should also be considered.
- HEI plans to fund two types of studies, full studies (RFA 05-1A) and planning or demonstration studies (RFA 05-1B). Overall, $8 to 10 million will be available for studies funded under RFA 05-1A and B.
- For more information: http://www.healtheffects.org/funding.htm
- Request for Applications 05-1A: Conducting Full Studies to Compare Characteristics of PM Associated with Health Effects
- This RFA solicits applications from multidisciplinary teams for hypothesis-based studies that address the RFA objectives.
- Preliminary air quality, epidemiologic, and/or toxicologic data must be included to indicate that the data and study designs to be used are sufficient to address the hypothesis or hypotheses proposed. HEI recommends that applicants to this part of the RFA include a pilot phase. HEI plans to fund 1 or 2 studies at $500,000 to $1,000,000 per year for up to 4 years.
- Letters of Intent for RFA 05-1A are due on September 15, 2005
- Applications are due on January 4, 2006 , or must be sent by overnight air delivery service postmarked by that date.
- For more information: http://www.healtheffects.org/funding.htm
- Requ est for Applications 05-1B: Conducting Planning or Demonstration Studies to Design a Major Study to Compare Characteristics of PM Associated with Health Effects.
- This RFA is intended for investigators interested in conducting a study with a preliminary hypothesis or question regarding the relative toxicity of different components of the ambient PM mixture but who need time and limited funds to establish a multidiciplinary team and to gather background data needed for an application.
- HEI plans to fund 2 to 5 planning/demonstration studies for up to 9 months at $50,000–$100,000 per study.
- Letters of Intent for RFA 05-1B are due on August 31, 2005 .

- Request for Applications 05-2: Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award
- The purpose of this award is to bring new, creative investigators into active research on the health effects of air pollution. It provides three years of funding for a small project relevant to HEI’s research interests to a new investigator with outstanding promise at the Assistant Professor or equivalent level. For information on HEI’s current research priorities, applicants should consult HEI’s current Strategic Plan.
- HEI expects to provide one or more awards from this RFA this year and to continue the RFA for this award on an annual basis. The evaluation process for these applications will consider the qualifications and background of the applicant, the quality and relevance of the research proposal, and the research environment of the applicant.
