MEDICAL REHABILITATION RESEARCH NETWORKS: WORKSHOPS FOR POTENTIAL APPLICANTS Release Date: May 26, 1999 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development The National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has issued an RFA for Medical Rehabilitation Research Networks. The full text of the RFA can be found at http://www.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-99-006.html. The mechanism chosen for funding the networks is the National Institutes of Health (NIH) resource-related research project grant (R24). It is hoped that this mechanism will foster sharing of facilities and collaboration among disciplines, and generate individual research project grants in medical rehabilitation. To provide a wide distribution of facilities and resources devoted to research relevant to medical rehabilitation, NCMRR seeks applications from institutions located in four areas of the United States: the Northeast, South, Midwest and West. State distributions are as follows: Northeast: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont. South: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin. West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming To familiarize the research community with this mechanism and with the goals of the Medical Rehabilitation Research Networks, NCMRR has scheduled informational workshops for potential applicants. At each, NICHD staff will present the background of the RFA, and will provide information and answer questions relevant to applications responding to this RFA. Pre-registration is optional (contact staff listed below under INQUIRIES), and attendance is not required for submission of an application. There are no registration fees associated with the workshops. Travel will be at the expense of attendees. Workshop summaries, including frequently asked questions, will be available for those investigators unable to attend. This material will be available through the contacts listed under INQUIRES or on the Internet at: http://www.nichd.nih.gov/ncmrr/workshop.htm. Investigators are encouraged to share information and meeting materials with colleagues. The workshops will take place in July, allowing investigators time to consider the logistics of a network application prior to submission of a letter of intent (November 15, 1999) or an application (January 12, 2000). Morning (8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. local time) and afternoon (1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. local time) sessions are planned for each venue to allow attendees some flexibility in travel schedules.
