Ovid's Biomedical Research Grants – UberResearch, a database of research grant information, focuses on helping funding organizations, non-profits, and global institutions make more informed decisions about research funding. This database contains 500,000+ records that fluctuates monthly, specific to grants in biomedical research in the Dimensions Data feed that were active in the last 10 years since January 1, 2006.

Biomedical Research Grants – UberResearch has been developed by data science company ÜberResearch, a portfolio company of Digital Science and a global business with main offices in Cologne, Germany; London, United Kingdom; Washington DC & Columbia, USA and other European and US locations.

The limit of databases that you can select for a multifile search session is based upon database segments rather than actual databases. The Ovid multifile segment limit is set at 120 to avoid impacting your search sessions. This database includes 1 segment.

This database is updated online monthly.

Quotation marks can be used to retrieve records that contain literal strings, when the string includes special characters, such as a forward slash (/).

Quotation marks can also be used to retrieve records that contain numbers that may otherwise be confused for earlier searches. In the example, a search for 3.vo would limit the string from your third search in your search history to the volume field. By including the number in quotation marks, the search will retrieve documents with a 3 in the volume number.

The Ovid search engine applies so called "run-time stopword processing". This means the search engine on the fly ignores the stopwords: and, as, by, for, from, in, is, of, on, that, the, this, to, was, were & with.

Therefore a search: at risk for diabetes.ti will also find: at risk of diabetes. The distance of one word in between is kept, but the stopword "for" is ignored.

A limit to Abstracts will restrict retrieval to documents which include an abstract. All abstracts included in Biomedical Research Grants – UberResearch are in English and were written by the researcher(s) of the original article.

A limit to local holdings will restrict retrieval to documents from journals held in your local library or library system. If your System Administrator has created any special messages about a journal's availability, this message will display with the document in the Local Messages (LM) field.

A limit to Project Linkout will restrict retrieval to documents which include a Project Linkout.

A limit to Publication Year will restrict retrieval to the year when the project was started; this utilizes the year in the Start Date field (DS). Choose the beginning year in the left drop down box, and the ending year from the right drop down box to limit the result to a range.

A limit to Funding Currency will restrict retrieval to documents that contains the Alphabetic ISO 4217 code of the currency the funding amount is paid in.

Abstract
	DESCRIPTION (adapted from investigator's abstract): This application seeks support for the continuation of a research project begun 
    	a decade ago to study the life-span development of individual differences in behavior and behavioral dispositions. The application 
    	seeks support for continued investigation of several theoretical and empirical issues about the stability of human dispositional 
    	characteristics over the life-span, particularly the extent of variation in patterns of stability and change that result from processes 
    	of aging and social change. It will apply existing theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches developed on the basis of past 
    	empirical studies in the U.S. to relatively new national-level panel data from the U.S. and Great Britain: 1) the Study of American 
    	Families (SAF), 2) Americans' Changing Lives (ACL) study, 3) the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), and 4) the National Election 
    	Study panels from the 1950s, 1970s and the 1990s. In addition, support is requested for the examination of several theoretically-
    	grounded hypotheses regarding cohort stability and change using existing cross-sectional data from the General Social Survey and 
    	National Election Study series. The GSS is a set of 20 surveys conducted from 1972 to 1994 on nationally representative samples of 
    	the U.S. The NES series is based on 21 election-year surveys since 1952 on nationally representative samples of the U.S. Evidence is sought 
    	for three separate, but not mutually exclusive explanations for human stability and change: cohort or generational explanations of 
    	stability/change, life-cycle or aging explanations of stability/change, and historical or period" explanations of individual and social 
    	change. These interpretations will be based on decompositions of social change into intra-cohort change and cohort replacement components, 
    	supplemented with estimates of molar stabilities using the panel data. Estimates of these components will be obtained using structural 
    	equation analysis of latent growth curves employing a variety of different model specifications.

Abstract
	Aggrecan, the most abundant proteoglycan in articular cartilage, gives the tissue many of its functional properties, 
    	including its ability to undergo rapid reversible deformation. Aggrecan subunits interact extracellularly with link protein 
    	molecules and with long linear strands of hyaluronan (HA) to form large size aggregates that become immobilized in the matrix. 
    	The extracellular matrix of articular cartilage is composed of two compartments: the cell-associated matrix (CM), surrounding 
    	each chondrocyte or cell cluster, and the more abundant further removed matrix (FRM) present in the interterritorial areas. 
    	During aging, aggrecan molecules in the cartilage matrix exhibit progressive changes in structure and in organization that are 
    	still poorly understood. It is not known, for example, if these changes progress at the same rate in the CM, the metabolically-
    	active compartment, as in the less metabolically-active FRM. As the incidence of progressive articular cartilage degeneration, 
    	i.e. osteoarthritis (OA), increases markedly during adult life, it is important to learn more about the biochemical basis of the 
    	changes which the metabolism of cartilage aggrecan undergoes during normal aging. Articular chondrocytes cultured in alginate 
    	beads reestablish a similar matrix composed of two compartments that morphometrically and immunohistochemically closely resemble 
    	those present in adult articular cartilage. A unique property of this culture system is that, after solubilization of the beads 
    	with chelating agents and mild centrifugation, the cells with their CM can be rapidly separated from molecules in the more loosely 
    	organized matrix further removed from the cells. We propose to use this culture system to perform metabolic studies on human and 
    	bovine articular chondrocytes from the normal joints of donors of different ages with the goals of further defining the biochemical 
    	basis of age-related changes in (i) the rate of formation and composition of these two matrix compartments and (ii) the organization 
    	and turnover of aggrecan molecules that become immobilized in each compartment. More specifically, our studies have three major aims: 
    	(1) to define the biochemical basis of the age-related decrease in ability of articular chondrocytes to rapidly reform a CM 
    	compartment rich in proteoglycan aggregates; (2) to further define age-related changes in the turnover of aggrecan in the metabolically-
    	active CM and less metabolically-active FRM compartments; and (3) to study the effects of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha)- and tumor 
    	necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced chondrocytic chondrolysis on the metabolism of aggrecan, HA and link protein in the CM and 
    	FRM compartments. Once normal age-related changes in the metabolism of aggrecan are better understood, the approaches presented here 
    	could prove most helpful for identifying disease-related changes in aggrecan metabolism during the early stages of 0A (long-term goal).
