The terms were based on the 1984 revision of the Thesaurus, which has been revised most recently in September 1988. Almost all of the formerly listed Biomedical Research terms have been retained in the new revision. A new section for energy terms has been added and terms for other disciplines and specific research interests of the agencies have been updated and expanded. Recommendations from numerous university users have been collected over the past four years and many of those suggestions have been included in the 1988 revised version. For more information about the Keyword Thesaurus, please contact Rodman and Associates at 1950 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207. The telephone number is 214-746-5345. For a complete copy of the section of the Keyword Thesaurus that will be used by the National Institutes of Health to classify material in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts please write or call: Dr. John C. James Division of Research Grants National Institutes of Health Westwood Building, Room 109 Bethesda, Maryland 20892 Telephone: (301) 496-7554 The following list of terms from the 1988 revision is intended only to supplement the regular list of Keyword Thesaurus terms that have been used in the Guide since the 1984 revision. A few of the new terms listed below were added to describe the subject matter in forthcoming issues of the Guide. Those new additions that are not a part of the whole Keyword Thesaurus are marked with a + sign. For coverage of agencies other than NIH the whole publication should be used. Also from time to time keyword terms from other sections (particularly sections such as the biological sciences, chemical sciences, and behavioral sciences) of the complete revised publication may be used to classify NIH announcements. Therefore, it would be advisable for users of the coded program information in DOE, NIH, NSF and other agency announcements to obtain a copy of the revised publication. In a future issue of the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, the whole biomedical section of the Thesaurus as used by NIH will be published.

In addition to the predoctoral and postdoctoral stipends which were addressed in that issue, the stipend level paid to trainees on the MARC(HURT) prebaccalaureate programs have also been increased. The stipend level has been changed from the current annual level of $5,004 to $6,504. This increase in stipend level is effective only for awards made beginning with FY 1989 funds; no retroactive adjustments or supplementation of stipends with NRSA funds for awards made prior to October 1, 1988, or with funds from FY 1988 is permitted. This stipend increase will be applied to all appropriate applications currently being reviewed and should be used in the preparation of future applications. SMALL GRANTS FOR RESEARCHERS IN DIGESTIVE DISEASES AND/OR NUTRITION RFA AVAILABLE: 88-DK-14 P.T. 34; K.W. 0715075, 1002004, 1002008, 1002019, 0785050, 0710095 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Application Receipt Date: March 10, 1989 BACKGROUND The Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), supports research and training programs related to liver and biliary diseases; pancreatic diseases; gastrointestinal diseases including neuroendocrinology, motility, mucosal and immunological injury, GI-immunodeficiency; and digestion in the GI tract; nutrient metabolism; obesity; eating disorders; and energy regulation. Within each of these areas, the pursuit of research into the mechanisms of various regulatory functions and disease pathophysiology often requires the ability to use techniques of molecular and cellular biology, virology, immunology, genetics and epidemiology. The Division wishes to encourage established researchers who are Division-supported principal investigators or who have been supported by the Division within the past three years to obtain first-hand experience with new techniques as a "Visiting Researcher" in the laboratory of a "Host" expert in molecular biology, cellular biology, virology, immunology, genetics or epidemiology. The new techniques should be an integral part of an original pilot research project conceived by the Visiting Researcher in collaboration with the Host. The proposed research project should result in novel preliminary data which could strengthen a subsequent application for regular grant support, or provide documentation of experience in a defined area. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE The overall goal is to encourage established investigators in digestive diseases and/or nutrition to undertake projects that are very basic in scope and will utilize the newer techniques of molecular and cellular biology, immunology, virology, genetics and epidemiology. We are especially interested in investigators in nutrition wishing to get molecular biology experience. This Request For Applications should encourage prospective Visiting Researchers to identify Hosts in order to prepare and submit a Small Grant Application. The application must be submitted by the Visiting Researcher and his/her Institution. The proposed research project, to be performed in the Host's laboratory, need not be directly related to digestive diseases or nutritional science. However, the techniques utilized while performing the research project must be directly applicable to the Visiting Researcher's future work in digestive diseases and/or nutrition. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS All Visiting Researchers must have received a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree from an accredited institution, and must have had at least seven subsequent years of relevant research or professional experience. They must be current Principal Investigators in the Digestive Diseases and Nutrition Program or have been so within the past three years. The Host must be an independent investigator with expertise in molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, virology, genetics or epidemiology and the specialized techniques associated with these disciplines. The Host Institution must be different from that of Vol. 17, No. 38, November 18, 1988 - Page 5 the Visiting Researcher and be in a different city. The training must be full-time. TERMS OF THE AWARD This non-renewable award is intended to provide a maximum of $25,000 for up to a six-month period, with shorter periods being prorated. A time commitment of at least 3 months is required. We anticipate making between ten to twelve awards. However, the funding of applications submitted in response to this RFA is contingent on the actual availability of funds and receipt of applications deemed worthy of support by the accepted NIH peer review process. REVIEW PROCEDURES All applications submitted in response to this RFA will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an initial review group, which will be convened for this purpose, by the Division of Extramural Affairs, NIDDK. There will be a single receipt date of March 10, 1989. Applications received after that date will be returned. METHOD OF APPLYING Potential applicants should write or phone the individuals listed below for the full RFA document, which includes instructions for the submission of applications: For Nutrition Research For Pancreatic Research Van S.
