EXPLORATORY CENTERS FOR BIOBEHAVIOR SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT NIH GUIDE, Volume 21, Number 5, February 7, 1992 RFA: NR-92-02 P.T. 04 Keywords: Behavioral Medicine Nursing Behavioral/Social Studies/Service Clinical Medicine, General Biomedical Research, Multidiscipl National Center for Nursing Research Letter of Intent Receipt Date: March 31, 1992 Application Receipt Date: May 7, 1992 The notice of availability for this Request for Applications was published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts on January 24, 1992, Vol. 21, No. 3, Part II of II. The section, RESEARCH OBJECTIVES, contained an error in the third paragraph. This entire paragraph, shown below, indicates that "symptoms specific to psychiatric disorders are not included in the scope of this RFA." The theoretical basis for the planned feasibility/pilot studies must be clearly explicated for the behavioral, psychosocial, and physiological strategies described in the exploratory center grant application. The symptom(s) for exploration is to be selected by the applicants and may include, but is not limited to, the high priority symptoms of pain, fatigue, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, cognitive impairment, altered sleep or rest patterns, and depression or anxiety secondary to a physical illness. However, symptoms specific to psychiatric disorders are not included in the scope of this RFA. One or more symptoms may be selected by each applicants depending on the scientific expertise available at the applicant institution or clinical setting and the theoretical basis chosen to explicate the research. An interdisciplinary approach must be utilized. Although feasibility/pilot studies addressing only pharmacological interventions are not acceptable, the inclusion of pharmacological strategies in combination with non pharmacologic strategies is appropriate for a multimodal management approach. .
