ELIGIBILITY
To
qualify for an award investigators must hold Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees, and
have completed all research training, including post-doctoral training.
Applications will be reviewed, and selections made by an Advisory Committee of
distinguished neuroscientists. U.S. citizenship is not a requirement, but
it is expected that candidates
will be permanent residents of the U.S. and that their research will be carried
out in U.S. institutions. Holding an award from another foundation concurrently
with a Klingenstein award requires the approval of the Advisory Committee. The
candidate should be an
independent investigator, holding a tenure track academic rank (but not yet
tenured) in a university or medical school, or the equivalent standing in a
research institute or medical center.
FUNDING
The award of $150,000 is payable over a three-year period. It may be used for
salary support, research assistants, equipment, or for any other purpose that
promotes the scientific activities of the Klingenstein Fellow. The award is for
the exclusive use of the Fellow and may not be used for institutional or
departmental support. No provision is made for institutional overhead, but
fringe benefits maybe charged to the award. Payments will be made to the
investigator's institution with the understanding that the total amount of the
award is to be made available to the Klingenstein Fellow, and will be
transferred (together with any purchased equipment) should the Fellow change
institutions. Annual reviews of the Fellow's activities and the funds disbursed
will be required. (flb)

Basic Research on Self-Regulation (R21)
(RFA-AG-11-010)
Application Receipt Date(s): January 06, 2011
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-11-010.html
Executive Summary
* Purpose. This FOA issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences
Opportunity Network (OppNet) solicits exploratory/developmental (R21) research
applications examining basic mechanisms of self-regulation. The intent of
this FOA is to advance research on basic processes and mechanisms of
self-regulation, capitalizing on recent advances in methods and theory from the
psychological (social, personality, developmental), economic, neuroscience,
sociocultural, and other behavioral and social science literatures. The current
lack of consistency and conceptual integration in how self-regulation is
studied across a range of disciplines hinders our understanding of the basic
mechanisms underlying many important health and developmental outcomes.
Applications submitted to this FOA are expected to address one or more of the
following basic behavioral and social science research (b-BSSR) challenges: (1)
to precisely identify and operationally reconcile the basic processes and
mechanisms involved in self-regulation of cognition, emotion, and behavior, and
refine their measurement and theoretical conceptualizations, (2) to assess
relations among various self-regulatory functions and their sub-components, and
(3) to systematically characterize changes in self-regulatory functions over
time, across different social and environmental contexts, and across the
lifespan in both men and women. Proposals are expected to engage investigators
working at multiple levels of analysis and across disparate literatures.

Executive Summary
* Purpose. This FOA encourages multidisciplinary
and interdisciplinary research to elucidate the mechanistic links between
psychosocial stress and health in aging, as well as how the aging process and
age-related diseases affect the responses to psychosocial stressors.
Generally, research should be focused on (1) aging and how neural mechanisms
respond to psychosocial stress and affect other body systems, (2) characterizing
the behavioral, psychological and social mechanisms and pathways involved in
transducing psychosocial stressors into health outcomes, (3) how stressors
modulate physiological process underlying life-span, immune mechanisms, and
metabolism, and (4) how psychosocial stress contributes to the development or
progression of geriatric syndromes, chronic medical conditions, and
disabilities in later life. Research is strongly encouraged that aims to
identify appropriate targets for intervention, at any level of analysis, from
societal to molecular. Research spanning multiple levels of analysis is
particularly encouraged. Research focused on oxidative stress or on
environmental or physical stressors of a non-psychosocial nature is not
appropriate to this FOA.
