Infectious Agents in the Origins of Chronic Lung Disease=20
Fund Category:
Other Health-Related=20
Description:
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invites application=
s for research projects that will investigate the contribution of known o=
r unknown infectious agents, or infectious agents-derived bioproducts, to=
the early origin of chronic lung diseases in humans. Novel, high risk st=
udies that employ state of the art technologies in the areas of molecular=
biology, genomics and proteomics are encouraged.=20
The NHLBI strongly encourages investigators with expertise in infectious =
diseases (especially virology, bacteriology, and mycology) to participate=
in this program in collaboration with pulmonologists, pulmonary patholog=
ists, immunologists, and molecular biologists. An important goal of this =
program is to move the research on infectious agents and chronic lung dis=
eases beyond =93associative=94 or =93correlative=94 studies, by supportin=
g projects designed to yield definitive =93proof-of-principle=94 informat=
ion also through use of appropriate animal models. It is expected that in=
vestigators will capitalize on and include research advances and state-of=
-the-art and/or cutting-edge techniques from the fields of cell biology, =
genomics, proteomics, and genetics (e.g., real-time analyses of gene expr=
ession) in their proposed research programs. Multidisciplinary approaches=
are encouraged.=20
Research projects supported through this RFA may employ a variety of expe=
rimental approaches, including studies of biological (tissues, cells, flu=
ids) specimens from affected individuals, animal model systems and resear=
ch on the potential role of novel pathogens. Diseases for which evidence =
already exists for possible involvement of an infectious agent are good c=
andidates for this initiative. Applicants are encouraged to use existing =
populations as appropriate to address the question in humans and to estab=
lish collaborations with existing clinical research networks and clinical=
studies that have experience in phenotyping the lung diseases of interes=
t. Utilization of existing human tissue repositories obtained from well c=
haracterized populations as well as the resources of the recently establi=
shed NHLBI Lung Tissue Research Consortium are also encouraged as a sourc=

Areas of research that are encouraged include the following: Well control=

diseases (e.g. sarcoidosis, IPF, primary pulmonary hypertension etc.) and=
establish the role of this agent in the pathogenesis of the disease; Ide=
ntification and characterization of infected cells through use of state-o=
f-the-art and/or cutting-edge techniques involving the use of laser confo=
cal microscopy, laser microdissection analysis, and/or conventional immun=
ohistochemistry and molecular biology are encouraged as are methods to is=
olate, characterize, and propagate infectious agents from human specimens=
with the goal of determining their role(s) in the disease-associated pat=
hological process(es); Characterization of direct, specific molecular int=
eractions between genomes/gene products of infectious agents and infected=
cells, and the resulting altered cell phenotype and=20
functions; study of indirect or systemic effects of infectious agents har=
bored in lung cells and inflammatory cells present at the site, such as m=
acrophages and lymphocytes; studies of specific mechanisms by which infec=
tious agents might modify the lung microenvironment at both the genetic a=
nd phenotypic levels; Identification of foreign proteins or altered human=
proteins and explore the functions of these proteins in biological pathw=
ays involved in a disease through use of state-of-the-art proteomic techn=
iques that allow analyses of the protein contents of disease-associated p=
athological lesions; Mechanistic studies of infectious agents as co-facto=
rs in the etiology of chronic lung disease(s) and as triggers of inflamma=
tion or abnormal cell growth in genetically susceptible individuals; Esta=
blishment of an animal model to reproduce or mimic a chronic lung disease=
in humans for which there is already sufficient associative/correlative =
data=20
to implicate as etiologic role for a specific microbial agent; specific a=
ims should include studies elucidating the underlying pathogenetic mechan=
ism. In addition, plans to disseminate the animal models and willingness =
to share them with the scientific community are expected to be part of th=
ese proposals; Utilization of non-linear mathematical and computerized mo=

Fund Title:
Co-Occurring Mental Illness, Alcohol and/or Drug Abuse & Medical Conditio=
ns=20
Fund Category:
Other Health-Related=20
Description:
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Al=
cohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Institute of Mental =
Health (NIMH) invite research grant applications to conduct services rese=
arch on co-occurring mental illness, alcohol and/or drug abuse, and commo=
nly co-occurring medical conditions.=20
Co-occurring conditions occur across the lifespan and result in levels of=
individual suffering, disability, and societal costs that are magnified =
well beyond those associated with each disorder in isolation. For example=
, it is estimated that up to 50% of individuals with severe mental disord=
ers abuse substances, and this particular type of comorbidity is associat=
ed with a variety of negative outcomes, including high rates of relapse, =
hospitalization, violence, incarceration, homelessness, and significant i=
nfections such as HIV and hepatitis. Additional concern arises from the f=
act that co-occurring disorders are often chronic and/or episodic, fluctu=
ating in a cycle of heightened risk, onset, intervention, recovery, and r=
elapse, and, in the case of some medical conditions, a deteriorating cour=
se. Such trajectories render the traditional "acute care" model of servic=
e delivery inadequate to achieving optimal outcomes and functioning for=20
persons suffering from co-occurring conditions. Finding ways to better se=
rve this population is, therefore, a significant public health need.=20
Prevention and treatment services must be optimally configured and design=
ed to address co-occurring conditions including mental illness, alcohol a=
nd/or drug use disorders, and related medical conditions. Furthermore, ne=
w research is needed to develop effective strategies to ensure the timely=
adoption and implementation of evidence-based practices for the preventi=
on and treatment of co-occurring disorders.
Listed below are examples of some research areas relevant to the purposes=
of this PA. This list is neither exhaustive nor prioritized; rather, it =
is expected that investigators who respond to this PA will identify addit=
ional critical research gaps. Access to services. Research is needed to e=
nable providers to best identify and prioritize the prevention, treatment=
, and service needs of individuals with co-occurring conditions in order =
to facilitate access to and utilization of an array of services. Studies =
must not only identify factors that impede access (including those that c=
reate health disparities for certain sub-populations) but also begin to d=
evelop interventions that surmount access barriers. Given the chronic and=
/or episodic nature of co-occurring conditions, the type of care for whic=
h access is needed at a given point in time will vary with the fluctuatio=
ns in illness, and from first intervention through treatment of relapse=20
to sustained recovery management. Tailoring services to individual needs.=
Of interest are studies that more specifically delineate optimal service=
s and service settings, and effective and dynamic mechanisms of service d=
elivery for a target population that is heterogeneous with varying or flu=
ctuating levels of severity of disorders in multiple and sometimes changi=
ng combinations. Outcomes should target optimizing functioning and commun=
ity integration. In addition, there is a need to understand how non-speci=
alty settings (primary care, schools, shelters or supported housing setti=
ngs, jails or prisons) can effectively contribute to meeting complex need=
s and facilitating recovery. When examining the applicability or adaptati=
on of interventions, individual factors such as age, developmental stage,=
stage in treatment career, socio-cultural factors, criminal involvement,=
and multiplicity of service needs should be addressed. Integrated,=20
coordinated, or collaborative care services. Of interest are studies that=
examine how and why various factors facilitate or impede the development=
or maintenance of integrated, coordinated, or collaborative care under v=
