Number: Title: Ladder to Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Community Health Leaders Brief Description: In an increasingly complex and fragmented U.S. health system, community-based nonprofit organizations provide critical support for millions of underserved Americans. These organizations encounter growing demand for services at the same time that their financial resources are decreasing. The impending exodus of senior nonprofit leaders due to the retirement of the baby boom generation exacerbates the challenges of building leaders for nonprofit organizations. According to a study conducted by the Bridgespan Group, by 2016 the nonprofit sector will need approximately 80,000 new senior managers each year. To address these obstacles, nonprofits need to develop new leaders who can create innovative, client-focused practices, manage day-to-day operations and serve as visionary catalysts for systemic change.

Description: The sponsor offers support for research to evaluate
the efficacy of stress management interventions on intermediate
outcomes purported to be in the biological or behavioral mechanistic
pathway through which mental stress (MS) is thought to influence
major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with confirmed coronary
artery disease (CAD). These include sub-clinical measures of atherosclerosis,
measures of cardiac or endothelial function, or measures such as
cardiovascular reactivity or neuro-humoral response to a provocative
mental stress test. The ultimate goal is to determine whether stress
management interventions can slow progression of CAD or reduce MACE
and, if so, to translate effective stress management interventions
to clinical practice. This program will use the NIH Research Project
(R01) award mechanism. Proposed
Funding: This program will use the NIH Research Project (R01)
award mechanism. Applications submitted in response to this announcement
must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the SF424

to the macro perspective of behavioral/social sciences. Although
great strides have been made in some areas, such as the neural pathways
of pain, pain and the challenge of its treatment have remained uniquely
individual and largely unsolved. Proposals that seek to improve
the understanding of the causes, costs, and societal effects of
both acute and chronic pain and the relationships between the two
are highly encouraged. Additionally, proposals that link such understandings
to the development of better approaches to therapeutic interventions,
including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions,
and management of acute and chronic pain are in keeping with the
current translational focus of NIH and are encouraged. Proposed

Number: NSF 04-584 Brief Description: The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specially designed for the purpose. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: REU Supplements and REU Sites. REU Supplements may be included in proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or as supplements to ongoing NSF-funded projects. REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct undergraduate research participation projects for a number of students. REU Sites projects may be based in a single discipline or academic department or be based on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a strong intellectual focus. Proposals with an international dimension are welcomed. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas. Undergraduate student participants in either Supplements or Sites must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. Proposed Funding: In FY 2005, the sponsor anticipates investing approximately $35 million (pending availability of funds) in approximately 170 to 200 new Supplement and Site awards.
