ACLS invites applications for the inaugural competition for the ACLS Collaborative Research Awards. These awards support collaborative research in the humanities and related social sciences (appropriate fields of specialization include but are not limited to: American studies; anthropology; archaeology; art and architectural history; classics; economics; film; geography; history; languages and literatures; legal studies; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology; religious studies; rhetoric, communication, and media studies; science, technology, and medicine studies; sociology; and theater, dance, and performance studies).Collaborations need not be interdisciplinary or inter-institutional, but must involve at least two scholars; applicants at the same institution must demonstrate why local funding is insufficient to support the project. It is hoped that projects of successful applicants will help demonstrate the range and value of both collaborative research and inquiry in the humanities, and model how such collaboration may be carried out successfully. Collaborations that involve the participation of assistant and associate faculty members, or that of scholars at different kinds of institutions, are particularly encouraged.

Comprehensive Alcohol Research Center on HIV/AIDS (P60)
Letter of Intent: 4/1/2009
Application Deadline: 5/1/2009
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for a research center grant to conduct cross-cutting research on alcohol and HIV/AIDS that is multidisciplinary, thematically integrated, synergistic, and will serve as a national resource for NIAAA. Through this FOA, NIAAA seeks to encourage basic research that can be translated into interventions in order to reduce infection and transmission of HIV. These critical goals are consistent with the FY2009 Trans-NIH Plan For HIV-Related Research (http://www.oar.nih.gov/strategicplan/fy2009/pdf/Overview.pdf). NIAAA will give highest priority to research that will 1) develop and test biomedical prevention technologies that apply basic knowledge of HIV infection to intervention strategies for preventing the spread of HIV between individuals and within communities in the context of alcohol use; 2) develop knowledge of the interaction between alcohol and new agents or drug regimens to prevent and treat comorbidities and comortalities (malignancies, liver and cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and other complications) associated with long-term HIV disease and antiretroviral treatment in the context of alcohol use.
