This renewal application requests 3 years of support to continue a highly successful international scientific meeting entitled Behavior, Biology and Chemistry: Translational Research in Addiction (BBC) that has been held annually in San Antonio Texas since 2009. In addition to this grant as well as a previous NIH grant, BBC meetings have received significant financial and institutional support from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and several other universities.

A competing renewal of R01 award MH074457 (currently in year 9) is requested. The R01 seeking renewal sustains the BrainMap Project (www.brainmap.org). The overall goal of the BrainMap Project is to provide the human brain mapping community with data sets, computational tools, and related resources that enable quantitative meta-analyses and co-activation mapping and functional decoding of neuroimaging data.

Microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) repairs DNA breaks by annealing 2-20 bp of flanking microhomology (MH), yielding repair products with deletions of MH and inter-MH sequences. MMEJ is thus a highly error prone repair mechanism with a strong propensity to lead to chromosomal translocations and cancer-causing mutations. Accordingly, the breakpoint junctions of many oncogenic chromosomal translocations feature MH, underscoring the importance of this mechanism for the development chromosome instability and carcinogenesis.

This proposal is a competitive renewal of R01NS045879 'Stroke Imaging of Conscious Rats.' In the previous grant cycle, we reported over two dozen peer-reviewed publications and leveraged multiple foundation grants to expand stroke research. Stroke remains to be the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability.

The proposed work innovatively addresses serious and long-standing limitations in the evidence supporting the standard relapse model. The important role of the standard model both in pre-clinical research into relapse and in clinical treatments to prevent relapse make it important to strongly test the assumptions of the standard model. This work could result in a strong validation of the standard model and improved animal models for developing medications designed to prevent relapse and craving.

Over 25% of the US population >65 years of age have type 2 diabetes and 80% of these individuals are overweight or obese. These individuals face shortened lifespans, increased health care needs, greater medical complications, and lower quality of life relative to those of similar age without these conditions. Lifestyle interventions focused on weight loss are recommended for overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes, but whether these interventions meaningfully improve the lives of older individuals with diabetes over extended follow-up is unknown.

The Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) seeks renewal of its NCI designation originally awarded in 1991. The only academic Cancer Center in South Texas, the CTRC serves a large and predominantly Hispanic catchment area. The mission of the CTRC is to reduce the cancer burden in South Texas through the highest quality cancer care, ground-breaking research aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality of cancer, education of future cancer scientists and clinicians, and cancer prevention programs focused on our unique population.
