Healthy Grandparents Program Healthy Grandparents Program The Healthy Grandparents Program was established at Augusta University’s College of Nursing in January of 1999 to provide physical, emotional, and social support to grandparents and great-grandparents raising their grandchildren ages 0-17 living in parent-absent homes.
The primary goal of the program is to support grandparents in their efforts to provide their grandchildren with a stable and permanent home, maintain their family ties and culture, and keep children out of the formal foster care system. The program is sustained through annual competitive renewal grants from DHR's Promoting Sage & Stable Families Program, with matching funds from the College of Nursing.

-Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to develop, standardize, and validate new and innovative assays, integrated strategies, or batteries of assays that determine or predict specific organ toxicities (e.g., ocular, dermal, hematotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, olfactory loss, bladder toxicity, neurotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, endocrine toxicity, and pancreatic beta cell toxicity), resulting from both acute and chronic exposures to various chemicals, environmental pollutants, biologics and therapeutic molecules or drugs. In addition, this FOA encourages the development, standardization, and validation of new models of arthritis, convulsion, infection and shock. New approaches for high throughput toxicity screening that involves the use of molecular endpoints, computer modeling, proteomics, genomics and epigenomics and the development of virtual tissues are also encouraged as are development of 3-dimensional organ models for toxicity evaluation. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the SBIR (R43/R44) grant mechanisms for Phase I, Phase II, and Fast-Track applications and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-007, which encourages applications under the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) (R41/R42) grant mechanisms. Funding Opportunity Number: PA-09-006. Assistance Listing: 93.113,93.173,93.361,93.389,93.837,93.846,93.847,93.848,93.849,93.859,93.867. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ED,ENV,FN,HL.
Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) cooperative agreement applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to develop new, or to improve existing application(s) of nanotechnology-based therapeutics or/and in vivo diagnostics. This FOA will specifically support pre-clinical optimization and testing of these cancer-relevant nanotechnology applications against the intended cancer type. The proposed projects must be milestone-driven and must be clearly directed toward development of an ultimate commercial product. The outcomes are expected to advance the discovery and pre-clinical optimization phase so that an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE) application could be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end or shortly after completion of the Phase II project period. To facilitate these steps, the NCI will assist the awardees in various ways, including the support through the NCI-sponsored Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory. This FOA will NOT support basic research projects, studies on disease mechanisms, and clinical trials. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the SBIR (U43/U44) cooperative agreement mechanisms for Phase I and Phase II applications. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
