DEADLINES
March 10 — Deadline to submit applications for NHLBI Exploratory Program in Systems Biology, known also as RFA-HL-06-004. NIH/NHLBI plans to award $24.3 million over the next five years to fund research combining computational and experimental approaches to improve understanding of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders.
March 11 — Letters of intent due for RFA-CA-07-005, Advanced Proteomic Platforms and Computational Sciences for the NCI Clinical Proteomic Technologies Initiative. NCI will commit around $10 million this year to fund approximately 10 grants for the quantitative analysis of proteins and peptides.
March 17 — Applications are due for the National Library of Medicine’s RFA-LM-06-001, Institutional Grants for Research Training in Biomedical Informatics.
March 27 — Full proposals are due from applicants to NSF 05-523, Assembling the Tree of Life. This project continues to support multidisciplinary teams investigating phylogenetic relationships for groups of organisms on the Tree of Life. Projects in data acquisition, analysis, algorithm development and dissemination in phyloinformatics will be funded.
April 11 — Formal applications are due for the NIH’s Genome Sequencing Centers, RFA-HG-06-001. This renewal of NHGRI’s large-scale sequencing program entails awards of up to $420 million in total costs over four years at not more than $130 million per year. The agencies expect to award three to five grants.
April 11 — Applications are due for the NCI Clinical Proteomic Technologies Initiative’s RFA-CA-07-005, Advanced Proteomic Platforms and Computational Sciences.
