2017 Pilot and Feasibility Program

 

The University of Michigan Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Resource Core (MRC)2 requests proposals for funding during the 2017 grant year (RFA found here). The Pilot and Feasibility program is intended to provide opportunities for investigators to advance basic, clinical and translational biomedical science by incorporating metabolomic technologies into their research program.  

The goal of this program is to enable investigators to generate a sufficient body of preliminary information for a successful application for major research funding from NIH or other national granting agencies.

Submission Deadline: Thursday, March 16, 2017
Award Cycle: July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018
Discipline/Subject Area: Metabolomics
Amount:  $50,000
Submission:

2017 Innovation Lab on Quantitative Approaches to Biomedical Data Science Challenges in our Understanding of the Microbiome

The BD2K Training Coordinating Center is organizing an Innovation Lab to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations among quantitative and biomedical researchers to address data science challenges in our understanding of the microbiome. The scope of microbiome, as defined here, broadly describes the corresponding high-dimensional big data derived from microbiota associated with a health or biomedical research objective. A more detailed description of the Lab can be found in the document Detailed information on 2017 Innovation Lab (PDF). Some exemplar areas of quantitative interest are suggested in the document Quantitative Topics of Expertise Needed (PDF) and biomedical interest are suggested in the document Biomedical Topics of Expertise Needed (PDF).

Submission Deadline:  11:59 PM Eastern Time, March 12, 2017
Dates: June 19-23, 2017
Location: Wylie Inn and Conference Center
Submission: http://www.bigdatau.org/innovationlab2017

Special Congratulations!
Congratulations to Trainee Elana Elkin! On December 5th, a poster session was held during the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Annual Grantee Meeting in Durham, North Carolina. The session featured a competition for exemplary trainee posters in the categories of “environmental sciences and engineering” and “health sciences.” PROTECT trainee, Elana Elkin of Project 2, won first place in the health sciences category for her poster titled “Effects of the Trichloroethylene Metabolite S-(1,2-Dichlorovinyl)-L-Cysteine on Mitochondrial Function in Human Cytotrophoblasts.” The poster was selected out of dozens of student submissions and was one of six selected winners. The meeting and accompanying poster session was attended by SRP researchers and administrators from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and took place as a part of the NIEHS FEST which was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Funding Opportunities
HEI is seeking to fund health studies to assess adverse health effects of short and/or long term exposure to traffic-related air pollution. The studies should consider spatially correlated factors that may either confound or modify the health effects of traffic-related air pollution, most notably, traffic noise, socioeconomic status, and factors related to the built environment, such as presence of green space. 

Assessing Adverse Health Effects of Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution, Noise (etc) provides up to 4 years of funding for up to 5 studies with a funding cap of $1,000,000 each.

Preliminary Application Due Date: March 1, 2017
