Pilot Research Award for Learning Disabilities for a Junior Faculty or Child Psychiatry Resident, Supported by the Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund
The availability of all awards is contingent upon the receipt of adequate funding.
Request for Applications
An Award of $15,000 for Pilot Research in the Area of Learning Disabilities and Psychiatric Disorders
Application Deadline: May 1, 2009
Selection Criteria
* Candidates must be board eligible, certified in child and adolescent psychiatry, or enrolled in a child psychiatry residency or fellowship program.
* Candidates must have a faculty appointment in an accredited medical school or be in a fully accredited child and adolescent psychiatry clinical research or training program.
* At the time of application, candidates may not have more than two years experience following graduation from residency/fellowship training.
* Candidates must not have any previous significant, individual research funding in the field of child and adolescent mental health. These include the following: NIMH/NIH Funding (Small Grants, R-01) or similar foundation or industry research funding. Candidates who have received or are currently receiving "T32" funding support are eligible to apply.
* The recipient must be an AACAP member at the time of application and agree to present his or her research at both the AACAP 57th Annual Meeting, October 26 - October 31, 2010, in New York, NY as well as the annual Elaine Schlosser Lewis Research Update Luncheon.
Application Guidelines
Applicants must submit six copies of the following:
* A letter of intent, no more than six pages, including four pages of research protocol, one page budget and justification, and one page addressing the inclusion or exclusion of women and minorities.
1. The research protocol should include the following sections: significance and specific aims, hypotheses, background and rationale, and a research plan (including data analysis plan). Research may be pre-clinical, epidemiological, or clinical.
2. The budget should contain sufficient detail so that each item can be separately judged. Computer related items (e.g., personal computers, printers, modems, etc.) are extremely unlikely to receive budget approval. No salary support for the principal investigator will be provided. No indirect costs for the institution will be provided. Typical budget items may include but are not limited to: subject honoraria and travel expenses, instrumentation costs, assay and lab test costs, and/or payment to research assistants.
3. If women or minorities will not be included, detailed justification of the rationale for their exclusion is mandatory. Such exclusion may lower enthusiasm for the proposal.
* A letter of support from section chief or department chair.
* A letter of support from the proposed mentor.
* Candidate's current curriculum vitae.
* Letter detailing any current research funding (role on project, title, type of project, and source of funds)
Application Deadline
Application materials must be postmarked by May 1, 2009.
Program Format
The award recipient is encouraged to work with a child and adolescent psychiatric investigator with expertise in his or her particular area of interest. Work must be completed within one year of receipt of the award. Please note that travel to both the Annual Meeting and the Research Update Luncheon is not included in the award and is the responsibility of the recipient. Submission of the pilot data is due on or before June 2010. Any unused funds must be returned to the AACAP.

Medical Research Grants and Postdoctoral Fellowships Offered for Studies Aimed at Treatment of Fragile X
INTRODUCTION
The FRAXA Research Foundation offers a grants and fellowships program designed to encourage research aimed at finding a specific treatment for fragile X syndrome.
Fellowships of up to $40,000 per year will be offered to support postdoctoral fellows who want to pursue research in fragile X (salary plus fringe benefits and/or travel to meetings).
FRAXA also invites investigator-initiated research applications for innovative pilot studies aimed at developing and characterizing new therapeutic approaches for the treatment and ultimate cure of fragile X syndrome. There is no funding limit to this category of grant, but typical funding levels are $30K - 60K.
FRAXA is particularly interested in preclinical studies of potential pharmaceutical and genetic treatments and studies aimed at understanding the function of the FMR1 gene. New applications are accepted each year on February 1. If February 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the deadline will be the following Monday.
Fellowships and grants are generally awarded for a period of one year. Based on reasonable progress during that year, awards may be renewable for a second year. Renewal applications are due on February 1, at least three months before the second year of funding is needed. If February 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the deadline will be the following Monday.
PURPOSE OF GRANTS/FELLOWSHIPS
The purpose of this grant program is to promote research aimed at finding a specific treatment for fragile X syndrome. FRAXA's goal is to bring practical treatment into current medical practice as quickly as possible; therefore, preference will be given to research projects that have a clear practical application and the results of which will be shared with other qualified researchers in a timely fashion.
ELIGIBILITY FOR GRANTS/FELLOWSHIPS
Institutions receiving grants must be recognized as nonprofit. In the US, this means that institutions are exempt from federal income taxes. Preference is given to institutions within the United States.
Individuals nominated by applicant institutions for the postdoctoral fellowship should have training and experience at least equal to the Ph.D. or M.D. Level. Preference is given to United States citizens.
ACCEPTABLE COSTS

Fellowships and grants are awarded for the period of one year and may be renewed for a second year, based on satisfactory progress. A financial report and progress report are required at the end of each year.
AMENDMENT OF POLICIES
The FRAXA Research Foundation reserves the right to modify its policies governing grants at any time. The grantee agrees to abide by any changes or to terminate the grant at the time when such changes become effective. Failure to abide by the policies governing grants shall be considered sufficient grounds for cancellation of a grant or refusal to consider any pending application by the grantee.
PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION
No person shall be excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of any program or activity receiving financial assistance from FRAXA because of race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

Human subjects in a program supported by FRAXA shall be volunteers in any survey, study or procedure. Research involving human subjects must have Institutional Review Board approval.
If animals are used in the proposed study, written certification must be provided to FRAXA indicating that proper treatment, care, and humane conditions have been provided. Research involving animal subjects must have Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval.
