Request for Proposals: Dana Foundation Program in Brain and Immuno-Imaging--Using Brain and Immune Imaging Innovations to Improve Human Health
Application Deadline: Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 at Noon
The Dana Foundation’s imaging research program focuses on improving human brain and brain-immune functioning in health and disease. Funds support pilot-testing by investigators who are early in their research careers of promising but high-risk innovative ideas that have direct clinical application and that, when successful, are competitive for larger-scale support from other funders. Grant amounts may be up to $200,000 total, payable over three years. Applicants will be informed within 14 weeks on whether they will be invited to prepare full proposals. The first awards will be announced in September 2012. Any subsequent award announcements will be made in December 2012. Below is a description of the program and application process.
Please note that this will be the only proposal solicitation process this year, and selection will be extremely competitive, with fewer than 10 percent of preliminary proposals likely to receive funding.
This program, as in all Dana research programs, is oriented to the human. Submitted proposals, therefore, should focus on imaging in patients or patient tissues, and healthy volunteers.
Applications for animal model studies of brain conditions or injuries will be considered only if they relate directly to the human but cannot yet feasibly be undertaken in humans, and are anticipated to be translated into the human following the three-year grant period. Such studies that are not undertaken in humans but directly relate to the human include research on: 1) normal brain anatomy and physiology in the animal model that can help to better understand the roles of cells and networks in specific cognitive functions and how these are altered by disease and injury; and 2) animal models of human diseases, either through insertion of human genes or through naturally occurring or induced disease states, that are directly related to the human condition. Specific criteria for these types of studies are listed in the section on Eligibility.
Previously funded studies under this Program have focused primarily on 1) understanding normal brain functioning, how it is altered by disease or injury, and how it recovers or repairs, 2) assessing and improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and 3) refining and advancing imaging technologies to address specific clinical questions. In addition to these three general areas of continued interest, it is becoming increasingly apparent that neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression start long before they are clinically evident. The Foundation, therefore, encourages studies that seek to understand developmental processes of disease, surrogate measures of early disease existence, and measures of disease progression. Also, for chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Alzheimer’s disease, the role of tau is becoming of increasing interest and the Foundation is receptive to considering studies on how to image tau.
The Foundation invites submission of one preliminary application per invited institution (see eligibility), using either:
• Physiological and Structural imaging - anatomical imaging of white or gray matter and measures of physiological functioning. These proposed studies should focus on patient-oriented clinical research. • Cellular/molecular imaging - biochemical actions of specific brain cells, or their interactions with immune cells, which have direct clinical relevance to human health and disease. These studies may involve human tissues or animal models. Applications can involve the study of cells within neural circuits, using a combination of imaging and single cell electrical recording, if the techniques have already been developed.
Eligibility:
Each U.S. medical school dean, and the presidents of the few selected biomedical research institutions that have been invited by letter, may nominate one applicant. The applicant may use either physiological/structural or cellular imaging or both. To be considered under this Program, the application must be countersigned by the medical school dean or invited biomedical institute’s president.
Investigators at institutions that are affiliated with a medical school are eligible to apply only through their affiliated medical school, by submitting an application to the medical school dean. Previous applicants are eligible to reapply through their dean’s office (or biomedical research institutes’ presidents’ offices). Projects involving collaborations with NIH intramural researchers or industry scientists are acceptable.
Support is focused on faculty researchers who have demonstrated the potential for independent research careers who are at the assistant professor level, or in the first few years of their associate professor appointments. Post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to apply. Applications from junior investigators that are an extension of the work of a senior mentor, particularly if from the same institution, are discouraged.
Funding of up to $200,000 payable over three years is provided for structural/physiological or cellular imaging proposals from promising early career investigators who have not yet been awarded more than one independent research grant (R01 from the NIH or equivalent from another Federal agency).
The Foundation does not provide support for indirect costs. Instead, however, up to 10 percent of the total grant award may be used to purchase equipment for the study. The balance is to be used to meet direct research costs. Studies should be designed to obtain meaningful data within the grant award period of up to three years.
All applicants please note:
All proposals that seek to develop new imaging techniques or assays, or modify existing ones to address clinical questions, whether in structural/physiological or cellular/ molecular imaging, must provide preliminary evidence of feasibility and evidence of the investigator’s experience in using the technology. Proposals seeking support without such preliminary evidence will not be considered.
Investigators proposing patient-oriented studies should provide preliminary evidence that the required number of participants—patients and controls—are available at the research institution(s) involved.
For all proposals that do not propose to undertake studies in humans, the direct relevance to human health and functioning needs to be explicitly stated. These proposed studies will only be considered if they are designed to: 1) pose a specific question concerning the disease process that is directly related to known aspects of brain pathology seen in the human; 2) alter a factor in a healthy animal for which there is some evidence of the factor’s involvement in a human disease process (as opposed to altering a factor in a healthy animal to see if the result resembles a human brain disease); and 3) be translated into studies in the human following the three-year grant period.
Certain areas are not appropriate for consideration:
• Ideas for which you do not have preliminary data. • Instrument development without initial evidence of feasibility and clinical applicability.
Descriptions of all previously funded studies are available at: http://www.dana.org/grants/imaging/.
Applying:
The Program is designed to enable investigators to obtain pilot data more quickly than is possible through other funding processes. Investigations must be applicable to human brain or brain-immune functioning or malfunctioning to be considered for funding. Research that can be supported through clinical income should not be submitted.

Request for Applications for Point-of-Care Ultrasound Research
The Endowment for Education and Research (EER) of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has issued a request for applications (RFA) to investigate the reliability of various methods to measure competence of individuals who use 1 or more point-of-care ultrasound applications. Up to $50,000 has been allocated for 1 or more grants in this area. Deadline for submission is March 1, 2012. Study to Assess Competency in Point-of-Care Applications of Ultrasound
The Endowment for Education and Research (EER) of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) is issuing a request for applications (RFA) for studies to assess the competency of individuals who use point-of-care ultrasound applications. Proposals should address 1 or more applications of point-of-care ultrasound (defined as ultrasound imaging, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, performed on the patient by a provider in real time as a component of a care episode). For examples of point-of-care applications, see the article "Point-of-Care Ultrasonography" by Moore CL and Copel JA (N Engl J Med 2011:364:749-57).
The purpose of this RFA is to investigate the reliability of various methods to measure competence in 1 or more point-of-care applications of ultrasound. As such, the method of measuring competence is critical, must be reliable, and must be adequately explained. The evaluation should take into account the background and training of the providers, and the specific setting in which the point-of-care ultrasound is provided. Assessment of competency should include independent blinded review of images, evaluating both the quality of the images obtained and diagnostic accuracy. If the point-of-care application is for therapeutic purposes, evaluation of the ability to perform the procedure should also be assessed. Studies should comply with the AIUM Practice Guideline for Documentation of an Ultrasound Examination, and with the AIUM official statement Interpretation of Ultrasound Examinations.

Grass Fellowships in Advanced Imaging
The Grass Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of a new fellowship program in advanced imaging at the Marine Biological Laboratories (MBL): the Grass Fellowships in Advanced Imaging.
PURPOSE: The MBL is host to a wide range of microscopy systems each summer and is rapidly becoming a regional center for advanced imaging. During the summer of 2011, available systems included confocal, two-photon, structured illumination microscopy, PALM, STED as well as other non-commercial systems. The goal of the Grass Fellowships in Advanced Imaging is to make this remarkable resource available to the broader scientific community. The fellowships will support individuals working in any area of neuroscience, at any stage of their career ranging from graduate student to professor. This opportunity is intended to allow individuals to bring their preparations to the MBL for up to four weeks, learning and utilizing the available microscopy resources, gathering data and interacting with other imaging specialists. Grass Fellows in Advanced Imaging will be integrated into the traditional Grass Fellows program during the month of July, providing a rich intellectual environment and access to many activities at the MBL. As such, Imaging Fellows will receive bench space in the Grass Laboratory for sample preparation and will be expected to attend Grass Laboratory lab meetings. In addition, Imaging Fellows are encouraged to audit the many classes available including the Neurobiology Course, which offers lectures on the theory and practice of advanced microscopy during the month of July. Support will include research supplies, travel, housing and meals at the Marine Biological Laboratory for the individual fellow.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants at any stage in their academic career are eligible. Priority is given to applicants with an experimental need to use high-end state of the art imaging systems. Prior research experience at the MBL, including previous Grass Fellowships, is neither required nor disqualifying. IRS regulations require that international Fellows (i.e., not US citizens or resident aliens) hold a J-1 visa for the duration of the fellowship. Holders of H1-B visa cannot be accepted. The Grass Foundation values diversity in all of its programs.
DURATION: The duration of the program is 2-4 weeks during July of 2012. Fellows are expected to be in residence at the MBL during the entire time.
APPLICATION: Application forms and instructions for the 2012 program are available on The Grass Foundation website.
DEADLINE: Applications for July 2012 must be received by 20 February 2012. Applicants must ensure that the completed application and letters of recommendation are submitted by the deadline. Decisions will be announced by April 2012.
SELECTION: The Selection Committee, consisting of the Trustees of The Grass Foundation, will judge the scientific merit of the proposed research and its suitability for this program. The Foundation anticipates accepting up to 3 Fellows in Advanced Imaging in this inaugural year.
