5. Evaluating Innovations in
Nursing Education - Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Deadline: January 23, 2009
A program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Evaluating
Innovations in Nursing Education is designed to evaluate models,
programs, and innovations that expand teaching capacity or
promote faculty recruitment and retention in nursing schools.
The program aims to increase the number of nursing school
graduates by evaluating strategies that address the nurse
faculty shortage and disseminating successful strategies so they
can be replicated in other nursing education settings.
Eligible applicants are nursing schools or health care
organizations who will act as the applicant institution and
sub-contract to the evaluation team. Each applicant organization
must arrange to sub-contract with an experienced evaluator (not
affiliated with the primary applicant department) to assess the
intervention. Proposed interventions must be ongoing and have
the potential to significantly increase teaching capacity,
improve faculty work-life, and/or promote faculty recruitment
and retention. Interventions must include a large enough
population (i.e., faculty, students, courses) to permit precise
determination of their impact on important outcomes. A maximum
of one grant
will be awarded per applicant institution.
Up to nine awards of up to $300,000 each will be available in
this round of funding.

7. Secondary Data Analyses for
Substance Abuse Research (R21/R33) - National Institute on Drug
Abuse
Deadline: Jan. 28, 2009
This funding opportunity, issued by the National Institute on
Drug Abuse invites Phased Innovation (R21/R33) grant
applications from organizations/institutions that propose to
conduct secondary analyses of rich biological data sets related
to substance abuse research and to advance data and
computational infrastructure relevant to the proposed analyses.
This FOA will utilize the Exploratory/Developmental Phased
Innovation (R21/R33) grant mechanism. Applicants will submit a
single application organized into two phases, beginning with
discussion of the R21 phase followed by discussion of the R33
phase. Applicants using only the R21 mechanism or only the R33
mechanism will not be considered. NIDA intends to commit
approximately $2,000,000 in FY 2009 to

(OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based
knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and
public safety. NIJ solicits
applications to inform its search for the knowledge and tools to
guide policy and practice. NIJ is seeking proposals for research
to evaluate the effectiveness of a demonstration program that
includes a drug-testing, sanctions, and treatment protocol for
chronic drug users under criminal justice supervision in the
community. The basic principles of the program must include: (1)
frequent drug testing; (2) certain, swift, and proportionate
sanctions for failed tests; and (3) access to residential
treatment, as appropriate. The purpose of this research is to
inform and improve
criminal justice and public health policy and practice and to
reduce recidivism among chronic drug offenders on pretrial
status, probation, or parole.

9. Brain Imaging Studies of
Negative Reinforcement in Humans (R01) - National Institute on
Drug Abuse
Deadline: Feb. 19, 2009
This FOA issued by National Institute on Drug Abuse, National
Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project Grant (R01)
applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to
investigate brain processes in humans underlying how aversive
events control behavior in order to stimulate a program of
clinical neuroscience research on negative reinforcement /
avoidance learning. On the basis of pre-clinical studies,
negative reinforcement has re-emerged as a contributing factor
in the basic processes of substance abuse. The range of
processes engaged by the human brain to avoid aversive outcomes
are much less well understood than that of brain processes
engaged by positive outcomes. For the purpose of this FOA
negative reinforcement and avoidance learning
are considered synonymous and refer to behaviors and cognitive
strategies that are learned and maintained in order to minimize
or eliminate the occurrence of aversive events. Aversive events
may be either environmental stimuli or internal states.
Applications for this FOA are expected to propose
hypotheses-testing studies regarding the brain regions or
processes in humans that underlie avoidance learning including
behaviors and cognitive strategies maintained by negative
reinforcement. The studies proposed in response to this FOA may
be conducted in healthy individuals, substance-abusing
populations (current or abstinent) or individuals at risk for
substance abuse. However,
all applications must address how the proposed investigations
are relevant to advancing the understanding of substance abuse.
