The purpose of this program is to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation's alcohol research needs. Much has been learned in the past decade regarding the association between maternal drinking during pregnancy and fetal teratology. It is known that such maternal drinking can result in miscarriage, low birth weight, death of the newborn infant, and a range of serious physical and behavioral abnormalities. Additional researchers are needed, however, to build on this knowledge base to understand the mechanisms of alcohol-induced injury to the fetus, particularly in the development of neurological impairment and potential mechanisms for reversibility. NIAAA will provide training in a variety of areas related to studying the effects of alcohol on fetal development, including the bases of susceptibility to fetal injury (environmental factors, genetic characteristics, fetal metabolism) and maternal factors that predispose to fetal injury. SUPPORT PROVIDED: The annual stipend for predoctoral individuals at all levels is $10,008. An individual may receive no more than five years of support. APPLICANT INFORMATION: A predoctoral applicant must be enrolled in a doctoral degree program (e.g. a program leading to a research doctorate such as the Ph.D., D.

The purpose of this program is to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation's alcohol research needs. Research training is needed in the study of underlying mechanisms by which alcohol consumption leads to alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer, pancreatitis, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, arrhythmias, and stroke. Further, research training is needed on alcohol-related diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Important medical questions on the mechanisms and extent of injury, natural course of the disorders, and potential for reversibility remain unanswered. Applications for training in state-of-the-art imaging techniques to study functional and structural alterations induced by ethanol are encouraged. Other major areas for research training include interactions of alcohol with the endocrine system during development and various phases of adulthood, especially as they relate to the physiological development of adolescents. Research training related to studies of alcohol's effects on hormonal development in young drinkers, on skeletal development, and on factors affecting growth and the age of bone closure is encouraged. SUPPORT PROVIDED: The annual stipend for predoctoral individuals at all levels is $10,800. An individual may receive no more than five years of support.

The purpose of this program is to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation's alcohol research needs. Clinical evidence suggests that chronic alcohol use may interfere with a person's normal immune defense mechanism. NIAAA recognizes a strong need for training researchers to study a variety of areas related to alcohol and immunology. These include the effects of alcohol on immune cell responses in vivo and in vitro, the immunosuppressive effects of acute and chronic alcohol use, the potential role of alcohol as a co-factor in the acquisition of infectious diseases, and the study of the immunological basis of alcohol-induced diseases, such as alcoholic hepatitis. The current epidemic of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has renewed interest in the relationship between alcohol consumption, immune disorders, and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. According to recent studies, the risk for HIV infection may be considerably increased if the natural immune defenses of the individual are already impaired by other factors. NIAAA is particularly interested in funding research training on the role of alcohol as an immunosuppressant and co-factor in the acquisition of HIV infection. An additional topic of interest is the effect of alcohol drinking on the conversion of the initial infection to increasingly severe forms of AIDS. SUPPORT PROVIDED: The annual stipend for predoctoral individuals at all levels is $10,800. An individual may receive no more than five years of support. APPLICANT INFORMATION: A predoctoral applicant must be enrolled in a doctoral degree program (e.g. a program leading to a research doctorate such as the Ph.D., D.

The purpose of this program is to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation's alcohol research needs. NIAAA encourages training of investigators to study the actions of alcohol on the central nervous system, including neurotransmitters, receptors, and membranes, and the processes of tolerance and dependence. Researchers are needed to study the biological and functional consequences of brain damage induced by alcohol and to study mechanisms of tissue regeneration and recovery. Neuroadaptive mechanisms of the central and peripheral nervous system which result in alcohol dependence and tolerance are central to NIAAA's mission. For instance, training in this area could specifically be related to the neuroendocrine control of tolerance, the prevention of the development of tolerance by use of antagonists, and the determination of the relationship between the inhibition of tolerance and the inhibition of the reinforcing properties of alcohol. SUPPORT PROVIDED: The annual stipend for predoctoral individuals at all levels is $10,008. An individual may receive no more than five years of support.

The purpose of this program is to help ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation's alcohol research needs. In the prevention/intervention area, NIAAA seeks research training experiences that provide a basis for developing and refining preventional strategies, especially for high-risk groups, such as teenagers, young adults, and women of child-bearing age. NIAAA encourages training in the basic learning and motivational processes that could be used to develop prevention approaches to deal with alcohol consumption behaviors and alcohol-related problems. In addition, projects focusing on cultural, familial, peer, occupational, social, and environmental factors can train researchers to study prevention strategies. A high priority is providing research training in the evaluation of alcohol abuse prevention approaches, such as programs of information, education, early intervention, community awareness, and mobilization campaigns, especially those designed to convey information to teenagers. Research training projects should focus on providing investigators with a foundation in prevention theories and testing strategies for preventing or reducing alcohol use/abuse in high-risk individuals and groups. In the treatment research area, NIAAA will provide support to train researchers to conduct studies on the scope, distribution, adequacy, appropriateness, use, cost, and impact of alcoholism treatment. Of interest are studies that provide training on assessment of costs and financing; the assessment of factors influencing the supply and use of facilities and services; and the examination of general health/ alcohol services system interactions on patient care. Researchers need to be trained to conduct clinical trials to assess the efficacy of various treatment methods and treatment settings for different types of patients. Research training is also needed for individuals who will focus attention on methodological issues and treatment assessment tools to further develop diagnostic instruments in connection with patient classification and to develop criteria and definitions of treatment success.

HPCC is a multiagency program designed to accelerate the development and
application of high performance computing systems through an integrated
program of hardware, software, and network development, as well as long-term
basic research. Advances in high performance computing are coming from novel
computer architectures such as parallel processors, vector processors, and
heterogeneous networks of computers. The suitability of these architectures
to solving problems of interest to NASA and the development of new
architectures that efficiently solve these problems is the objective of this
research. Of particular interest is the investigation of architectures to
solve problems arising in computational fluid dynamics as governed by the
Navier-Stokes equations. These investigations could include software issues
as well as hardware issues because the ultimate goal is to provide the
researcher at Ames with improved computational resources. Current
computational resources include CRAY C90's and IBM SP2, as well as a network
with powerful workstations and superminis.
