Tools for Genetic Studies of Zebrafish The Trans-NIH Zebrafish Coordinating Committee and 17 participating Institutes at NIH list a new Program Announcement (PAR-02-142) in the NIH Guide entitled, "Tools for genetic studies in Zebrafish" that solicits applications for research designed to exploit the power of mutagenesis screening in zebrafish in order to detect and characterize genes, pathways, and phenotypes of interest in development and aging, organ formation, behavior, and disease processes. 

Trans-NIH Zebrafish InitiativeThis website was created as a central information resource. It includes information on: NIH-organized zebrafish meetings; funding opportunities for zebrafish genomics and genetic resources; major resources generated from grants funded in response to Trans-NIH zebrafish initiatives; major zebrafish genomic and genetic resources; courses and scientific meetings; and, selected reports and publications.

Developmental Systems
This cluster 
supports research aimed at understanding how interacting developmental processes give rise to the emergent properties of organisms.  A systems level approach to understanding these processes, at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels of organization, requires the use of molecular, genetic, biochemical, and physiological techniques as well as techniques from outside biology.  The Developmental Systems Cluster is also particularly interested in understanding how emergent properties result in the development of complex phenotypes and lead to the evolution of developmental mechanisms.  

 

Neural Systems
Focuses on how complex functions arise from communication among the cellular elements of the nervous system and from interactions with other physiological systems and the environment.  The Cluster encourages a systems biology approach to understand how emergent neural properties such as robustness, adaptability and resilience arise in the context of environmental, genetic and evolutionary influences.

 

Behavioral Systems
Focuses on the development, function, mechanisms, and evolutionary history of behavior, with emphasis on a vertically integrated understanding of the behavioral phenotype in nature. To foster this integrative goal, the Cluster specifically encourages projects that seek to understand how combinations of neural, hormonal, physiological, and developmental mechanisms act synergistically as a system from which behavior emerges.  Laboratory work or the study of animals in captivity is encouraged, to the extent that it contributes to the understanding of behavior in natural systems.  

 

Physiological and Structual Systems
Supports research aimed at furthering the understanding of organisms as integrated units of biological organization.  The Cluster considers proposals focused on interacting physiological and structural systems, their environmental and evolutionary contexts, and how these components are constrained by their integration into the whole organism.  Projects that use systems approaches to understand why particular patterns of architecture and regulatory control have emerged as general organismal properties are particularly encouraged.  Understanding how and why emergent organismal properties such as robustness, adaptability and resilience arise in the context of environmental, genetic, biochemical and morphological variation are of interest.

 


 National Institute On Aging

 

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports research and research training related to aging. The Institute supports basic biological, neuroscientific, behavioral and social research on aging as well as intervention studies and clinical geriatric research.
