11.03.2008 Probes for Microimaging The Nervous System (STTR [R41/R42])

SYNOPSIS:
The sponsor provides support for Small Business Technology Transfer
Research (STTR) grant applications that propose research and
development of probes useful in imaging the structure and function of
the brain and other parts of the nervous system, with award duration
and amounts greater than those routinely allowed under the SBIR/STTR
programs. Specifically this PA solicits STTR applications that propose
research and development of probes that generate signals detectable by
one or more imaging modality. Such probes should indicate the
structure or function of molecules or subcellular elements of neurons
or other cells of the nervous system. Of special interest are
applications that propose research and development of novel probes,
although significant enhancements of already existing probes are also
solicited. Grant applications may propose projects that will result in
probes solely intended for use in research or probes that might have
clinical utility.  This PA will use the STTR (R41/R42) grant
mechanisms.

DEADLINE NOTE
The deadlines for submission of standard STTR applications are April
5, August 5 and December 5 annually . The deadlines for receipt of
AIDS-related applications are: January 7, May 7, and September 7
annually.  This program will expire on September 8, 2008.
