The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
invites applications for establishment of a Bariatric Surgery Clinical Research
Consortium (BSCRC)to focuses on bariatric surgery and its role in the understanding
and treatment of obesity and its complications. Bariatric surgery involves reducing
the size of the gastric reservoir, with or without a degree of associated malabsorption,
with a goal of inducing weight loss among patients with extreme obesity.(American
Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2001) The objective of this Request for Applications
(RFA) is to establish and maintain a Bariatric Surgery Clinical Research Consortium
consisting of a group of between four and six interactive Clinical Centers (CCs)
and a Data Coordinating Center (DCC). The goal of the BSCRC is to facilitate
coordinated clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral research in the field of
bariatric surgery, through the cooperative development of common clinical protocols
and a bariatric surgery database to collect information from participating CCs.
This is a one-time solicitation to support a Clinical Research Consortium for
five years.

Research Grants »
Participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) invite applications for Bioengineering Research Grants (BRG) to support
basic bioengineering research whose outcomes are likely to advance health or
health-related research within the mission of the NIH. A BRG application should
propose to apply basic bioengineering design-directed or hypothesis-driven research
to an important medical or biological research area.

Active
Living by Design Call for Proposals (CFP) »
Active Living by Design is a national program of the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation and is a part of the UNC School of
Public Health in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This program
establishes innovative approaches to increase physical activity
through community design, public policies and communications
strategies.
Active Living by Design is funding 25 community partnerships
across the country to demonstrate how changing community
design will impact physical activity.
