An understanding of each of the critical components of the funding
process is key to meeting the challenges posed by the increasingly
intense competition for research funds. This book is a vital tool
for those who want to build and maximize their grant support.
Although many publications provide valuable information about
proposal preparation, few cover the full spectrum of issues--from
planning through execution--in the funding process. The book leads
off with a discussion of the relationship between researchers and
the funding environment, features of good short- and long-range
funding plans, characteristics of funding organizations in terms of
funding power, mission, and priorities, and the manner in which
funding information is disseminated. Succeeding chapters focus on
the actual development of the many different types of
opportunities--research projects, multicomponent research programs,
career development and training programs, and small business
innovation research. These chapters emphasize conceptualizing an
idea, optimizing the researcher-sponsor match, and testing the
concept for competitiveness. Further chapters deliver strategies
for translating research ideas into written proposals, preparing
administrative sections and communicating with a sponsor. The final
chapters are dedicated to the outcomes of the proposal process:
reviews, rebuttals, and resubmissions; and to progress reports and
future proposals for maintaining and building on funding.
Flowcharts, examples, and summary tables are used throughout the
text to highlight key points.

Research increasingly suggests that addiction has a genetic and
neurobiological basis, but efforts to translate research into
effective clinical treatments and social policy needs to be
informed by careful ethical analyses of the personal and social
implications. Scientists and policy makers alike must consider
possible unintended negative consequences of neuroscience research
so that the promise of reducing the burden and incidence of
addiction can be fully realized and new advances translated into
clinically meaningful and effective treatments. This volume brings
together leading addiction researchers and practitioners with
neuroethicists and social scientists to specifically discuss the
ethical, philosophical, legal and social implications of
neuroscience research of addiction, as well as its translation into
effective, economical and appropriate policy and treatments.
Chapters explore the history of ideas about addiction, the
neuroscience of drug use and addiction, prevention and treatment of
addiction, the moral implications of addiction neuroscience, legal
issues and human rights, research ethics, and public policy.
Behavioral neuroscience encompasses the disciplines of neurobiology
and psychology to study mechanisms of behavior. This volume
provides a contemporary overview of the current state of how ethics
informs behavioral neuroscience research. ThereĀ is dual
emphasis on ethical challenges in experimental animal approaches
and in clinical and nonclinical research involving human
participants.

In the past 10 years the number of antipsychotics prescribed to
children with psychiatric disorders have skyrocketed. Despite this
rapid growth, most medications have been inadequately studied in
children for safety or efficacy and many have serious adverse
health. Measures are needed to ensure that the health and safety of
children are being protected, and debates have emerged over whether
or not clinical trials in this population should be conducted. This
edited volume reviews the latest findings for the safety and
efficacy of antipsychotic use in children and examines tensions
that are created by off-label use, both in clinical psychiatric
practice and research.
Offers coverage of efficacy, prevalence, and adverse impacts of
the use of antipsychotics in children
Explores ethics challenges of clinical research in this patient
population
Serves as a platform for future discussions designed to increase
the safety of children taking antispychotics
Edited work with chapters authored by leading neuroethicists in
the field around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage
available"
