orientation for recently appointed faculty. The IUPUI
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will contribute
to the opening session of this workshop and will make
brochures available which contain information about
the functions of the Office of Research and Sponsored
Programs and how to contact staff. The orientation
will be held on August 14, 2006 from 12:30 - 5:00
PM at the Informatics and Communications Technology
Building (IT), 535 W. Michigan St.
Registration: http://www.opd.iupui.edu/eventsRegister.asp?id=722&unit=APPD
CLINICAL
RESEARCH COORDINATOR EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Clinical Research Coordinator
Education Program will be offered by the Indiana University
School of Medicine – Office of Clinical Research,
the Outpatient Clinical Research Facility, and the
School of Nursing on September 13, 14, and 15, 2006
at the Ruth Lilly Learning Center, Conference Rooms
A and B.
This program is mandatory for all
new Indiana University School of Medicine research
coordinators with less than 2 years of experience
coordinating studies on the IUPUI/Clarian campuses.
The program targets new and experienced study coordinators
and new investigators from the Indiana University
School of Medicine. Research personnel from the Indiana
University Schools of Dentistry and Nursing, Clarian
Health, and Roudebush VA and Wishard hospitals often
attend and find the content useful.
The program provides guidance about
how to conduct and coordinate clinical drug studies.
The cost of the program is $320 if registered by August
30, 2006 and $370 after this date. Payments from grant
accounts or other Indiana University accounts are
acceptable.

GRANT
OPPORTUNITES
ENVIRONMENTAL
PATHWAYS
The
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) invite applications that promote the
understanding of biological processes (pathways and/or
networks) that, when perturbed by environmental factors,
stressors, or alcohol, alter the susceptibility to
complex human diseases. This initiative aims to integrate
the traditional strengths of the environmental health
sciences, alcohol, and the cardiovascular, lung, and
blood research communities with the emerging power
of comparative biology approaches and high information-content
techniques to determine the critical common pathways
by which environmental stressors influence human health
as well as the determinants of individual and population
susceptibility to those environmental stressors. Applications
are due by September 18, 2006.

METABOLOMICS
The
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) seeks to encourage the use of innovative metabolomics
technologies to establish methods and model systems
for advancing the understanding of biological pathways
and networks; their temporal and spatial resolution;
and their regulation in health and disease states.
Applications are due by October 20, 2006.

BIODEFENSE
TOXINS
The
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
(NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
invites applications for the support of cooperative
translational research into developing therapeutics
and diagnostics for certain biodefense toxins: Shiga
toxins, ricin toxin, the Staphylococcus enterotoxin
B (SEB), Clostridium epsilon toxin, and the
botulinum neurotoxins. Applications are due by November
27, 2006. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AI-06-035.html
CLINICAL
ONCOLOGY
The
National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) seeks applications for the Paul Calabresi
Award for Clinical Oncology (PCACO). The purpose of
this award is to increase the number of medical doctors
(M.D.’s, D.O.’s), and doctorally-degreed
nurses (Ph.D.’s or equivalents) and basic research
scientists (Ph.D.’s, D.V.M.’s, or equivalents)
who are highly-motivated and trained to: 1) primarily
perform clinical oncology therapeutic research that
develops and tests scientific hypotheses based on
fundamental and clinical research findings; 2) design
and test hypothesis-based, clinical therapeutic protocols
and adjunct biological analyses and for clinician
candidates to administer all phases (i.e., pilot/Phase
I, Phase II, and Phase III) of cancer therapeutic
clinical trials, and (3) conduct cancer therapeutic
research in team research settings in which basic
research and clinical scientists collaborate and interact
to expedite the translation of basic science research
discoveries into patient-oriented therapeutic cancer
research.
Applications are due by June 1, 2007.
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-449.html
COMMUNITY
CLINICAL ONCOLOGY
The
National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) solicits two types of applications
for the components of the Community Clinical Oncology
Program (CCOP) network, as follows: 1) new and currently
funded (renewal) CCOP groups (also referred to as
CCOPs); and 2) new and currently funded (renewal)
CCOP Research Bases. A CCOP group consists of community
oncologists from one or more interacting community
institutions who accrue patient/participants to clinical
trials designed and conducted by the CCOP Research
Bases. Each CCOP group must be capable of accruing
annually at least 50 patients to treatment clinical
trials and at least 50 participants to prevention
and control clinical trials. A CCOP Research Base
designs clinical trials for use in the CCOP network.
It also conducts the trials, manages and analyses
the data, and reports the results. CCOP Research Bases
must either be NCI Clinical Cooperative Groups or
NCI-designated Cancer Centers. Applications are due
by August 28, 2006.

BIOMARKERS
INTERPRETATION
The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seeks applications
for the development and subsequent use of physiologically
based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to determine target
tissue dose based on human biomarker data (including
existing biomarker data, such as from epidemiological
or occupational health studies or from biomarker data
sets such as the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey); the incorporation of biomarkers
of susceptibility (e.g., polymorphisms) into new or
existing PBPK models to describe differences in Phase
I or Phase II metabolism and population variability
in dose metrics; and the use of mathematical and statistical
methods to use biomarker data to estimate and characterize
the exposure consistent with biomarker levels. Applications
are due by September 26, 2006.
