| | | | To assist investigators who have temporarily lost significant federal research funding, and to facilitate carefully planned changes in research direction, the School of Medicine has expanded its Bridge Funding Program. Bridge funding up to $100,000 (including Department support/matching funds) or up to 50% of the last year's direct costs, whichever is lower, will be available to investigators based on merit, potential for renewal of external funding, and availability of SOM funds. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | To aid Emory investigators in generating preliminary data for grant applications and speed the development and validation of standard operating procedures, the Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core (IEMC) is announcing a single particle cryo-EM pilot program. We intend to select and fully fund 4 Pilot Projects for the investigators to get accustomed to the standard workflow in single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis and to provide data on research projects for future grants. We also consider these pilot projects as an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the core. These pilot projects encompass the complete analysis from biological specimen to three-dimensional structure, which involves cryo-sample preparation, data collection, data processing and analysis. The IEMC core will subsidize the entire cost related to these pilot projects.
Submit proposals to Michael Zwick (Mailto:mzwick@emory.edu). The deadline will be April 15, 2019. Initial awardees will be notified by May 1, 2019.

| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish core centers that are part of an integrated and existing program of nutrition and/or obesity research. The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC) program is designed to support and enhance the national research effort in nutrition and obesity. NORCs support three primary research-related activities: Research Core services, a Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) program, and an Enrichment program. All activities pursued by Nutrition Obesity Research Centers are designed to enhance the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness and multidisciplinary nature of research in nutrition and obesity. The NIDDK Nutrition Obesity Research Centers program consists of 12 Centers, each located at outstanding research institutions with documented programs of excellence in nutrition and/or obesity research. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The DDRCCs are part of an integrated program of digestive and liver diseases research support provided by the NIDDK. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators as a means to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases. DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding. | | | | Read More | | |
