Title: American Cancer Society Area of Special Interest: The Role of Healthcare and Insurance inImproving Outcomes in Cancer Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment

Brief Description: The American Cancer Society invites applications that investigate the impact of healthcare costs, healthcare system and capacity, insurance status, social factors and delivery of health care services, on outcomes in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. An RFA focusing on this area of focus was initiated in 2007 and will be in place until 2011, with set aside dollars each year. Due to the large number of meritorious proposals received in 2009, the set aside dollars for this RFA ($1,000,000) have already been expended for 2009 so there are no specific set aside dollars for such research this cycle. However, this is an area of special interest to the Society and we therefore encourage applications, both new and revised applications. Although there is no set aside for these studies in this cycle, applicants will be eligible for funding from the general pool of funds for cancer control research. Applicants will be competing against other applicants whose studies focus on a variety of other areas of health policy and health services research.

Title: Stress Management Interventions to Reduce Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (R01)

Brief 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 Research and Related (R&R) forms and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide.

Interventions targeting two or more risk factors that indicate ineffective parenting practices (e.g., lack of appropriate parental monitoring, supervision, and communication, high family conflict and disorganization, parental stress and depression, lack of parent-child bonding and negative discipline methods) that simultaneously focus on multiple high-risk adolescent health behaviors (e.g., unhealthy dietary behaviors, inadequate physical activity, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, and unintentional (e.g., accidents) and intentional behaviors (e.g., firearm related injuries), are fundamental to this initiative. Interventions that target the reduction of a broad range of family risk factors and simultaneously build upon protective factors are highly encouraged. Parents and similarly situated caregivers of children ten-to-eighteen years of age are the targets of this initiative. This PA will use the NIH R01 award mechanism.

Proposed Funding: Open

Title: Public Welfare Foundation-Grants Program

Brief Description: The sponsor supports organizations that address human needs in disadvantaged communities, with strong emphasis on organizations that include service, advocacy and empowerment in their approach, with particular interest in efforts that combine two or all three of these elements. The sponsor provides both general support and project-specific grants. Although most grants cover a period of one year, the sponsor accepts requests for funding renewals and also makes multi-year grants.

Proposed Funding: The sponsor's average grant is $45,163. All requests should be relative to the budget and needs of the organization applying; however, it would be unusual for the sponsor to make a very large (over $50,000) grant to an organization it has not worked with before. It is also unlikely that a first-time grant would exceed half of the proposed budget.
