The International HapMap Consortium has published analyses of its
second-generation map of human genetic variation, which contains
more than 3.1 million genetic variants. The improved HapMap will
help researchers find DNA variants that influence the risk of
disease and other traits.

More than 40 years after beta blockers were first used clinically,
scientists can finally get a close-up look at the drugs' molecular
target-the b2-adrenergic receptor. The
work is particularly exciting because it offers the first glimpse
into an important, but scientifically elusive family of human proteins
called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a part of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced today it has provided
nearly $33 million to fund three new Institutional Development
Awards (IDeA). The awards support multidisciplinary centers -- each
concentrating on one general area of research -- that strengthen
institutional biomedical research capability and enhance research
infrastructure. The IDeA program is designed to improve the competitiveness
of investigators in states that historically have not received
significant levels of competitive NIH research funding.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National
Institutes of Health, will convene a one-day mini-convention
at the Society for Neuroscience's (SfN) annual meeting
in San Diego, bringing together scientists to explore novel
approaches to addiction and treatment. NIDA scientists
will present recent findings and discuss future directions
in the neurobiology of drug abuse and addiction.

The Public Trust Initiative (PTI), an initiative of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), announces the release of a new Request
for Applications (RFA) for the Partners in Research program. The
purpose of this program is to support studies of innovative programs
designed to improve public understanding of health care research
and promote collaboration between scientists and community organizations.
In turn, these studies should help in the development of strategies
to increase the public awareness and trust in both the role of
NIH and the importance of new directions of research for advancing
the public health.
