The primary areas of research funded by NINR are health promotion/disease prevention, eliminating health disparities, caregiving, symptom management, and self-management. NINR is the lead Institute at NIH on research on care at the end of life-an important emerging field. The NINR Mission and Strategic Plan help to direct funding decisions. Expert panels and research working groups help NINR to identify gaps in current knowledge that require research.

According to the NINR Strategic Plan released in 2006, there are four current areas of research emphasis at NINR. These include Promoting Health and Preventing Disease; Improving Quality of Life; Eliminating Health Disparities; and Setting Directions for End-of-Life Research. The Strategic Plan is available here. See similar questions...

SSI’s researchers focus on two types of chemicals: those that cause mammary tumors in animals and those that disrupt hormones. In particular, SSI’s scientists study chemicals in the environment that mimic estrogen; natural estrogen is a well-established breast cancer risk factor, therefore, synthetic chemicals that act like estrogen when in our bodies are potential sources of increased risk of breast cancer.

Program staffs of NIH's various institutes and centers are always available to speak with investigators, and, in fact, such contacts are encouraged during the preparation of an application. In addition to information about the application process and strategies to consider in preparing an application, program staff can provide feedback on the relative "fit" between the proposed research and the program interests of the Institute or Center.

You can write about political, social, gender, race relations, military, business or almost any type of history. The quality of research, writing and historical analysis are paramount. We are interested in original thinking and writing, especially if the manuscript makes a significant contribution to an aspect (or aspects) of New Zealand's story or of its place in the world. We especially welcome collections of historical essays; or manuscripts that examine the history of state activity. See similar questions...

The National Eye Institute (NEI) is the Federal government's lead agency for vision research. The NEI is supporting a number of research studies both in the laboratory and with patients to learn more about the cause of AMD. This research should provide better ways to detect, treat, and prevent vision loss in people with the disease. There is some suggestion that certain vitamins and minerals may play a role in the treatment of AMD. See similar questions...
