Research on Co-Morbid Mental and Other Physical Disorders (R01)
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) solicit grant applications that propose studies on the co-occurrence and co-morbidity of mental disorders with other physical disorders. An important goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to identify potent, modifiable risk and protective factors amenable to intervention, and to translate the results of such studies into initial tests of theory-driven prevention and early intervention strategies. Risk and protective factors include biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental contributors to co-morbid disorders. This FOA encourages research on the efficacy, effectiveness, long-term outcome and safety of preventive, treatment, and rehabilitative interventions across the lifespan; clinical trials and intervention studies targeting functional and symptomatic outcomes adapting pharmacological, psychosocial, behavioral, or environmental approaches individually or in combination; studies to improve the recruitment and retention of individuals with co-morbid disorders in real-world practice settings; and research on the impact of separate organizational systems and different financing mechanism for mental and other physical disorders. Major emphasis is placed on the identification of principles motivating and sustaining behavior changes critical to reducing the risk for co-occurring disorders. Studies are particularly encouraged of mental disorders that are co-morbid with other physical disorders that are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States, including heart disease, cancer, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and diabetes, for example. NIMH and NINR will, however, consider applications that focus on any combination of co-morbid mental and other physical disorders across the lifespan. It is incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate the public health significance of the study by describing the severity and/or prevalence of the disorders studied.

Molecular Approaches to Diet and Pancreatic Cancer Prevention (R01)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism encourages grant applications that propose innovative preclinical and clinical studies to determine how dietary energy intake and bioactive food components, including alcohol, influence pancreatic cancer development and prevention. This FOA seeks to encourage collaboration among nutritional scientists, cancer biologists, oncologists, and gastroenterologists to jointly examine key mechanisms in the pancreatic-cancer process (e.g., carcinogen metabolism, cell division, differentiation, apoptosis) in order to explore mechanistic links between quantity and form of energy consumed and/or bioactive food component intakes with pancreatic tumor incidence and behavior. The linkage between diet and pancreatic cancer comes from its long-recognized interrelationships with diabetes and obesity, and thus with caloric intake and expenditure. This FOA seeks to expand research that will clarify the importance of diet-related energetics and bioactive food components in pancreatic cancer prevention.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Landing Sensor Advanced Component Technologies
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center plans to release a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for the Exploration Technology Development Program Autonomous Landing and Hazard Avoidance Technology (ALHAT) Project. The purpose of this NRA is to solicit partners to research, develop, and demonstrate component- and subsystem-level technologies specifically related to ALHAT that will increase performance, reduce risk, cost, size, and mass of a state-of-the-art sensor capable of enabling a descent vehicle to autonomously perform a safe and accurate landing. The basic technology chosen for this sensor is flash LIDAR. Flash LIDAR provides a three-dimensional imaging capability that can be exploited to generate the necessary information for accurate navigation by implementation of appropriate real-time signal and/or image-processing techniques. The goal is to advance the core sensor component technologies to a technology-readiness level that enables their eventual infusion into future space flight missions.

Human and Social Dynamics
The Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) priority area fosters breakthroughs in understanding the dynamics of human action and development, as well as knowledge about organizational, cultural, and societal adaptation and change. HSD aims to increase our collective ability to (1) understand the complexities of change; (2) understand the dynamics of human and social behavior at all levels, including that of the human mind; (3) understand the cognitive and social structures that create, define, and result from change; and (4) manage profound or rapid change and make decisions in the face of changing risks and uncertainty. Accomplishing these goals requires multidisciplinary research teams and comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches across the sciences, engineering, education, and humanities, as appropriate. The fiscal year 2008 competition will include three emphasis areas (Agents of Change; Dynamics of Human Behavior; and Decision-Making, Risk, and Uncertainty). HSD encourages projects investigating complexity and systems thinking, with a goal of revealing the emergent properties of dynamic systems. HSD also encourages projects identifying human drivers of environmental change and exploring the consequences of environmental change on humans. Such research is central in equipping us to handle the most pressing environmental problems for our nation and the world.

Human Origins
This competition is directed toward increasing our knowledge of the complex biological, physical, and behavioral interrelationships that led to the development of our species and that are responsible for both the shared and the variable features that characterize living human populations. It recognizes that understanding of the processes and pathways of human evolution requires input from a wide range of disciplines that examine our species from multiple perspectives and across both time and space. Accomplishing this goal requires a large-scale initiative that allows research activities that go beyond the smaller, shorter duration, single investigator awards that disciplinary programs have been able to provide in the past. It is intended that HOMINID awards will provide for transformative approaches to long-standing questions about the history of our species. Infrastructure development is also eligible for support either as a stand alone project or as part of a research award. One goal of the competition is to develop a portfolio of awards that reflects the multiple approaches to the understanding of human origins. It is expected that the combination of awards will complement each other and prove to be mutually informative as they progress.
