Rett Community Researchers:

This week we would like to point out four very interesting announcements from the NIH. The first covers a notice from the NINDS concerning clinical trial applications. The remaining announcements include current Requests for Applications from the NIH: 1) to develop tools to study the synaptome and 2) to establish inter-disciplinary collaborative projects to advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. Lastly, there is an RFA from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality announcing a grant for patient-centered outcomes research. These announcements cover a wide range of activities and will not be pertinent to all, but please investigate. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
