This is an amendment to RFA HL-98-015, "Specialized Centers of Research in
Ischemic Heart Disease in Blacks," which appeared in the NIH Guide July 31, 1998.

Under the section heading - FUNDS AVAILABLE - substitute the following paragraph:

Applicants may request up to $1,220,000 direct costs, not including indirect
costs for collaborating institutions, in the first year.  Projects within a
center that focus on complementary or alternative medicine research, in the areas
defined under the RESEARCH OBJECTIVES, are not included in determining this limit
of $1,220,000 direct costs.  Competing renewal applicants may request an
increase, in their budget in the first competing year (Year 06), not to exceed
10 percent of the costs awarded in the last noncompeting award year (Year 05) or
$1,220,000, whichever is greater.  Applicants may request up to a two percent
increase for subsequent noncompeting years.  It is anticipated that two SCOR
grants, for a five year project period, at an estimated first year total cost of
$2.978 million, will be supported.  In addition, it is anticipated that $800,000
will be available to support projects focussing on complementary or alternative
medicine, as defined below.  Requests to support complementary or alternative
medicine projects cannot exceed $400,000 in total costs (including direct and
indirect costs and project costs associated with core components) per center.
