Funding News and Grant Tips
RWJF Marks 40 Years; Board Approves over $400 Million for Improving Health in 2013
The Board of Trustees of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) marked the Foundation’s 40th anniversary recently by approving up to $425 million in grantmaking during 2013. Funding will be focused in three interrelated areas: increasing efforts that help people stay healthy; lowering national health care costs; and improving access to high-quality care, delivered by a diverse and abundant workforce.
Since its inception in 1972, the Foundation has awarded more than $9 billion in grants, with grantees located throughout the country. Work supported by the Foundation in previous decades directly contributed to forging the nation’s 911 emergency system, the landmark Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act, dramatic reductions in the use of tobacco products, and changed perceptions about options such as hospice care at the end of life.
“Whatever issues are the most vexing—responding to AIDS, an unprecedented shortage of nurses, millions of children being uninsured, astounding racial inequalities in health care—these are the issues we’ve taken on,” said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF president and CEO. “We cannot accept our responsibility as America’s largest health care philanthropy if we run from the toughest problems.”

Required: Electronic Submissions for SAMHSA Grant Applications
Beginning in fiscal year 2013, Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) discretionary grant applications, including new and continuation, must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/. SAMHSA will not accept paper applications except when a waiver of this requirement is approved by SAMHSA.
SAMHSA strongly encourages any organization intending to apply to a SAMHSA program to follow the Grants.gov Organization Registration Checklist and to register now. Information on the advance registration necessary to submit applications may be found on Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/.
Individual applicants may request a waiver of electronic submission, for instance, If they do not have the technological means or if their physical location receives poor-quality or intermittent connection to the Internet. More information about a waiver and the process to apply will be forthcoming on the SAMHSA website in November and also in each Funding Announcement.
The Organization Registration Checklist provides registration guidance for a company; institution; state, local, or tribal government; or other types of organizations submitting for the first time through Grants.gov. Registration takes approximately three to five business days; however, Grants.gov recommends that applicants allow four weeks for completion of all steps in the registration process.

NIDCR intends to support approximately eight to 10 R01 applications solicited through a companion Funding Opportunity Announcement. This Funding Opportunity Announcement, RFA-DE-13-003, will support approximately four to eight R21 additional grant applications. NIDCR intends to commit approximately $5 million in total costs in FY2013 to support meritorious projects solicited through these two announcements.
ELIGIBILITY: Public/state/private controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state governments, U.S. territories or possessions, Indian/Native American tribal government (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), Indian/Native American tribally designated organizations, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska native and native Hawaiian serving institutions, regional organizations, eligible agencies of the federal government, and faith-based or community-based organizations.
PURPOSE: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits novel, research project grant (R01) applications proposing to investigate the epigenetic basis of virus-associated oral diseases in order to guide the discovery and application of novel epigenomic-based clinical interventions. These studies are expected to: 1) discover and define the mechanisms of action of epigenomic modifications in viral and host epigenomes; and 2) demonstrate how modifications in the host and viral epigenomes cause pathophysiological changes in oral cells and tissues that result in oral diseases and may also cause diseases in other parts of the body.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Letter of Intent: 11/26/12.
$ AVAILABLE: Each of the programs will present two awards, with each recipient receiving up to $50,000 over a two-year period.
ELIGIBILITY: Please see URL for eligibility information.
PURPOSE: The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is accepting Letters of Intent for its 2013 PFF Research Fund grants.
One of the primary goals of the PFF Research Fund is to support research that will ultimately lead to successful therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In pursuit of this goal, the foundation has funded over $3 million in basic and clinical research. The fund supports investigations that offer a high likelihood of improving the understanding of pulmonary fibrosis in basic science, translational research, clinical research, and social science/quality of life.
In 2012, the foundation established two new awards named after its co-founders — the I.M. Rosenzweig Young Investigator Awards and the Albert Rose Established Investigator Awards.
The Young Investigator Awards are designed to encourage young investigators (individuals within five years of completion of their formal training) to maintain and enhance their interest in PF research during the early stages of their academic career.
The Established Investigator Awards are designed for individuals planning to explore innovative areas of research that may not yet be eligible for a National Institutes of Health (or similar) grant.
