Release Date: December 2, 1998

P.T.

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

announces a

program of up to $10 million in Fiscal Year 1999 to enhance

infrastructure in

support of research projects currently funded by the NINDS. Principal

Investigators on projects that received NINDS funding in Fiscal Year

1998

(competing or non-competing) are invited to submit a one-page

application

describing their need for one-time expenses that would significantly

enhance

their ability to achieve the specific aims of the funded project while

not

expanding the project.

Amount: Supplements will be made in increments of $25,000 total

costs. For

regular research grants (R01 and R29) the maximum is $50,000. For

program

project (P01) and research center grants (P50) the maximum is

$100,000. Up to

four principal investigators from the same institution may

collectively apply for

a major piece of equipment that would serve the aims of each of their

projects,

up to a combined total of $200,000.

Allowable costs: This program is intended primarily to support

equipment that

could not be purchased because of prior budgetary constraints, but

requests for

other types of non-recurring infrastructure support that will enhance

the ongoing

NINDS-funded research will be considered. When applicable, proposed

equipment

must be Y2K (Year 2000) compliant. Excluded are salaries, training

costs,

alterations and renovation, travel, and recurring supplies.

How to apply: Send to the address below, a one page letter

(counter-signed by

institutional official) describing the requested item(s), cost, why it

is needed,

and relation to specific aims. Attach a copy of the specific aims

from the most

recent grant application funded by the NINDS and an updated biosketch

from the

PHS Form 398 (up to two pages). This biosketch should be for the PI

and/or Co-PI

of the R01 or relevant subproject(s) for P01s and P50s.

Submit two copies of the entire application package to:

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

Division of Extramural Activities

7550 Wisconsin Avenue, Room 1016

Bethesda, MD 20892

Review and funding decisions: Applications will be reviewed

administratively by

NINDS program and grants management staff, who will make

recommendations to the

senior leadership of the Institute on the basis of excellence of the

research,

as reflected in progress toward the specific aims of the grant, and

demonstrated

need for the supplement.

Receipt date: January 15, 1999.
