SUMMARY: Proposed Collection: State and Community Tobacco Control Research Initiative Evaluation (SCTC), 0925, NEW submission, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer Institute State and Community Tobacco Control Research Initiative is a program within the Tobacco Control Research Branch in the Behavioral Research Program of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. The program targets 4 high-priority tobacco control research areas at the state and community level in the United States: (1) Secondhand smoke policies, (2) Tobacco tax and pricing policies, (3) Mass media countermeasures and community and social norms, and (4) Tobacco industry practices. The initiative supports innovative research to yield rapid and actionable findings for state and community tobacco control programs. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the dissemination, implementation, and community collaboration processes of the grantees and their respective state and community partners and stakeholders. The evaluation will utilize archival grant project data and archival data collected from the scientists in the first two years of the initiative. The evaluation also will collect new data to: (1) Determine relationships, interactions, and connectedness among different network partnerships over time and with policy makers; (2) assess the utility of research tools, interventions, products, and findings from the perspective of key tobacco control stakeholders; and (3) determine key indicators for broad adoption of research products. Results will address research-to-practice gaps by providing a critical window into the process of disseminating evidence-based research tools, products, and science findings in community public health settings. Intended audiences include staff at NIH Institutes and Centers interested in supporting translation/dissemination and implementation science. OMB approval is requested for one year. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 112.

VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:59 Jun 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 RNA Splicing Inhibitors To Treat Cancers Description of Technology: Vemurafenib is a B-Raf enzyme inhibitor that causes cell death in melanoma tumor cells that possess a mutated B-Raf protein (V600E BRAF mutation); however, patients rapidly develop resistance. One mechanism for acquired resistance of these patients to BRAF inhibitors has been found to be mediated by the existence of BRAF (V600E) splicing variants that possess structural changes in BRAF that confer insensitivity to BRAF inhibitors. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute have discovered that RNA splicing inhibitors can block the growth of vemurafenib-resistant tumors. Further, the researchers have also found that other types of tumors that possess BRAF splicing isoforms are susceptible to RNA splicing inhibitors. Available for licensing are methods of using RNA splicing inhibitors to treat tumors, including melanomas, and methods to detect tumors that possess certain BRAF splicing isoforms susceptible to RNA splicing inhibitors. Potential Commercial Applications: Therapeutic agents to treat tumors. Competitive Advantages: No discernible toxicity in mice. Development Stage: Early-stage; In vitro data available; In vivo data available (animal). Inventors: Thomas A. Misteli and Maayan Salton-Morgenstern (NCI).

For collaboration opportunities, please contact John D. Hewes, Ph.D. at hewesj@mail.nih.gov. Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease With Synthetic Amphipathic Peptides Description of Technology: The invention is directed to treatment of chronic kidney disease by administering a synthetic, amphipathic helical peptide known as 5A–37pA, and novel derivatives thereof. Scientists at NIDDK have demonstrated that invention peptides antagonize activity of a particular scavenger receptor known as CD36. Using an in vivo model, NIDDK scientists have shown that invention peptides slowed progression of chronic kidney disease and can potentially be utilized as a therapeutic treatment. Additionally, certain invention peptides bind selectively to CD36 with high specificity over other homologous scavenger receptors. Thus, invention peptides can be utilized as a research tool to further evaluate the complex etiology of chronic kidney disease. 5A–37pA, and derivatives thereof, are peptide mimetic of apolipoprotein A–1. These peptides have been described in NIH owned patents and/or patent applications (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,572,771 and 8,071,746 and 8,148,323). Use of these peptides, as well as the novel peptides of this invention, for the treatment of kidney diseases is currently available for licensing. Potential Commercial Applications: Therapeutic; Research Tool. Competitive Advantages: Selective antagonist of CD36 activity; Specific binding to CD36 over other scavenger receptors. Development Stage: Early-stage; In vitro data available; In vivo data available (animal). E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM 06JNN1
