Description:
The ADA-Medtronic Technology in Diabetes Fellowship provides grant support for technology-based studies that utilize the CareLink database (which includes blood glucose-monitoring and insulin pump-derived data) to investigate novel clinically related questions that assess, evaluate, correlate, and improve the application of this and similar technologies, and focus on clinical outcomes for patients with insulin-treated diabetes. Clinical and post-doctoral fellows and scientists in training are encouraged to apply.

Time-Sensitive Obesity Policy and Program Evaluation (R01)
PAR 12-257--Time-Sensitive
Obesity Policy and Program Evaluation (R01)
Purpose: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by
the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK),
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute on Aging (NIA), Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD), and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This announcement establishes an
accelerated review/award process to support time-sensitive research to evaluate
a new policy or program expected to influence obesity related behaviors (e.g.,
dietary intake, physical activity, or sedentary behavior) and/or weight
outcomes in an effort to prevent or reduce obesity. This FOA is intended
to support research where opportunities for empirical study are, by their very
nature, only available through expedited review and funding. All
applications to this FOA must demonstrate that the evaluation of an obesity
related policy and /or program offers an uncommon and scientifically compelling
research opportunity that will only be available if the research is initiated with
minimum delay. For these reasons, applications in response to this
time-sensitive FOA are eligible for only one submission. It is intended
that eligible applications selected for funding will be awarded within 3-4
months after the application submission/receipt date. However, administrative
requirements and other unforeseen circumstances may delay issuance dates beyond
that timeline.
Applicants please note: Resubmissions
are not allowed for this funding announcement. Please read the PAR
very carefully. Only time-sensitive studies will be given priority.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact one of the program officers
listed below.

Secondary Analyses and Archiving of Social and Behavioral Datasets in Aging (R03)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-13-004.html
Description:
The NIA supports collection of data and biological samples including a broad array of measures that are relevant to: the dynamics of health and disability, cognition, psychosocial and sociodemographic factors, genetics and biomarkers, long-term care, caregiving, behavioral medicine, retirement, economic status and well-being over the lifecourse (see the Resources Section below for links to NIA sponsored data sources). The purpose of this FOA is to solicit one-year R03 applications for (1) secondary analysis of data on aging in the areas of psychology, behavioral genetics, economics, demography or (2) archiving and dissemination of data sets to enable secondary analyses in order to further advance research.
