Oklahoma NanoTechnology Initiative
















								Not all federal agencies have specific pages for nanotechnology funding opportunities. In addition, solicitations often are worded generally and the technological tools to be employed, whether micro-, nano- or macro-scale, are not specified. Looking broadly into areas of interest—for instance, toxin removal or semi-conducting materials — is often the best approach. You can now use a solicitation database offered by the DOE Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies to learn about opportunities for nanoscience research funding by Federal agencies.

Nanotechnology is defined as the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter at the scale of 1 to 100 nanometers, and the exploitation of novel properties and phenomena at the same scale. Nanotechnology is emerging as a field critical for enabling essential breakthroughs that may have tremendous potential for affecting biomedicine. Moreover, nanotechnologies developed in the next several years may well form the foundation of significant commercial platforms.

The Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) grant is being matched by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education with an additional $3 million. These funds will contribute to Oklahoma's scientific community by providing equipment and human resources needed to boost research competitiveness. According to Dr. Frank Waxman, Oklahoma EPSCoR Director, "The RII award will help continue the momentum that Oklahoma scientists have gained in genomics and nanosciences...and is helping develop a critical mass of researchers in the state while stepping up the next level of competitiveness."

Designs and methods that examine the impact of biologic and behavioral variables on individuals' health outcomes and quality of life are encouraged. Scientists are encouraged to increase the interface of biobehavioral research and clinical practice in existing core and exploratory centers and training programs by sharing findings and designing collaborative research projects. Ideally, interdisciplinary researchers should overcome differences in perspectives, incentives, and methods by going beyond usual collaborations to engage others to solve problems creatively and efficiently. • This funding opportunity will use the R01 and R21 award mechanisms. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. • Applications may be submitted by any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. • Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct. • Eligible domestic and foreign institutions/organizations include for-profit or non-profit, public or private, and faith-based or community-based organizations, units of State Tribal government, units of Local Tribal government, units of State and Local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government More Info Multidisciplinary Research On Oral Manifestations Associated With HIV/AIDS Release Date: 12/21/2004 Expiration Date: 09/14/2007 Issuing Organization: NIDCR Announcement Number: PAR-05-031 Summary: The primary goal of this initiative is to encourage the formation of multidisciplinary scientific teams to study the oral manifestations and complications associated with HIV/AIDS-related immunosuppression. The applicants are expected to develop a minimum of three highly integrated projects that address the existing gaps in our knowledge of the pathogenesis of the oral complications of HIV disease. The projects will be expected to be synergistic and to utilize cutting-edge approaches such as genomics, proteomics, molecular imaging and other emerging technologies to achieve their goals. The NIDCR intends to commit approximately $1.3 million total cost in each of FY 2006, 2007 and 2008 to fund one new and/or competitive continuation grant per year in response to this Program Announcement. This PAR will use the NIH Program Project (P01) award mechanism. Eligible organizations include: For-profit or non-profit organizations, public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, units of State and local governments, eligible agencies of the Federal government, Domestic Institutions/Organizations only. However foreign investigators can participate as co-investigators if they can offer unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions that are not readily available in the United States or that augment existing U.S. resources and provided their participation will enhance the overall performance of the grant. Eligible principal investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH programs. Investigators may submit more than one application as part of different collaborative groups. There should be no scientific or budgetary overlap.

New methods, procedures, measures, and controls are needed for manufacturing a broad range of technologies and products with unsurpassed quality and to lower manufacturing costs for existing and/or new processes. Research is also encouraged that can contribute to the containment and reduction of health care costs and that can improve the cost effectiveness, quality, and accessibility of the health care system. More Info BIOENGINEERING APPROACHES TO ENERGY BALANCE AND OBESITY (SBIR/STTR) Release Date: 09/03/2004 Expiration Date: 08/02/2007 Issuing Organization: NHLBI Announcement Number: PA-04-156 Summary: The purpose of this PA is to solicit applications to develop and validate new and innovative bioengineering technology to address clinical problems related to energy balance, intake, and expenditure. Novel sensors, devices, imaging, and other approaches are expected to be developed and evaluated by collaborating engineers, physical scientists, and scientists from other relevant disciplines with expertise in obesity and nutrition. The goal is to increase the number of useful technologies and tools available to scientists to facilitate their research in energy balance and health. Eventually these research tools should facilitate therapeutic advances and behavioral changes to address such problems as weight control and obesity. More Info HIGH THROUGHPUT TOOLS FOR BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR: SBIR Release Date: 04/02/2004 Expiration Date: 08/02/2007 Issuing Organization: NIMH Announcement Number: PA-04-086 Summary: Analytic tools that can screen for particular characteristics at high rates are crucial to discovery science, and increasingly valuable in both basic research (e.g., phenotyping) and applied research (e.g., drug discovery). As such, they are in demand and represent a commercially viable technology, appropriate for funding under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The intent of this Program Announcement (PA) is to invite applications by small businesses for the commercial development of technologies for high throughput data acquisition and analysis that could aid the research fields of basic behavioral science or neuroscience relevant to the mission of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Only SBIR Phase I, Phase II and Fast Track grant applications are solicited; small business technology transfer (STTR) grant applications are not solicited by this PA.
