Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-23-310 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to solicit research that will help to identify and explain the mechanisms and pathways by which interventions targeting social drivers of mental illnesses affect the mental health and functioning of children and/or adolescents (ages 5-24 years) living in World Bank designated low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) . Studies should use innovative approaches to capture as much real-world complexity as possible in identifying and elucidating mechanisms and pathways that reduce risk for mental illnesses or improve mental health in children and/or adolescents.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-22-067 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) Program, a multidisciplinary network of centers that will conduct research in malaria-endemic sites to 1) improve our understanding of malaria pathogenesis, epidemiology, and transmission; and 2) evaluate, optimize, and inform development of interventions to understand, control, eliminate, and eventually eradicate malaria. This program is intended to support research that is conducted primarily in countries in which malaria is endemic, and must provide for significant involvement of local/regional researchers in study design, development, and execution.
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-030 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Leading Equity and Diversity in the Medical Scientist Training Program (LEAD MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of highly trained clinician-scientist leaders available to meet the Nations biomedical research needs by providing support for dual-degree clinician scientist training at institutions that have historically not been well represented among NIGMS-funded MSTPs. Specifically, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to fully integrate the transitional phases of dual-degree training and mentoring that will lead to the completion of both clinical degrees (e.g., M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D., etc.), and research doctorate degrees (Ph.D.) and keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical enterprise. With the dual qualification of a rigorous scientist and clinician, graduates will be equipped with the skills to develop research programs that accelerate the translation of research advances to the understanding, detection, treatment, and prevention of human disease, and to lead the advancement of biomedical research. Areas of particular importance to NIGMS are optimizing training efficiency, fostering the persistence of alumni in research careers, and enhancing the diversity of the clinician-scientist workforce. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation. This program is limited to dual-degree training programs at (1) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), (2) Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and (3) institutions in the states and territories that participate in the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program, a congressionally mandated program that builds research capacity in state.
