Network/infrastructure-building activities include but are not limited to meetings to develop novel research areas and interact on the development of infrastructure; small-scale pilots to test or tailor measures in new populations or contexts; development of guidance on selected topics such as biomarkers, diagnosis and classification of dementia, protocol development, fieldwork challenges, statistical harmonization, and analytic methods; educational activities such as intensive summer institutes, series of workshops and related network activities, or advanced seminars on methodology; dissemination and outreach activities; and coordinate activities with other related networks on AD/ADRD.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-034 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications to renew critical ongoing network and infrastructure support for advancing development of specific high-priority areas of behavioral and social?research on aging in the following priority areas: (1) Stress Measurement, (2) Life Course Health Disparities at Older Ages, (3) Aging Research on Criminal Justice and Health Disparities, (4) Rural Aging, (5) Genomics of Behavioral and Social Science, (6) Behavioral and Social Research on Aging in Animal Models. Network infrastructure is designed to build resources for advancing aging-relevant research in the field at large; attract new researchers in aging; infuse a focus on health disparities into aging research; and address ongoing needs to foster transdisciplinary integration in aging research, as recommended by the 2019 Division of Behavioral and Social Research (BSR) National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) Review Network/infrastructure-building activities include, but are not limited to: meetings to develop novel research areas and interact on the development of infrastructure; small-scale pilots to develop data, theoretical frameworks, empirical methods, etc.; dissemination and outreach activities; and educational activities such as intensive summer institutes, series of workshops and related network activities, advanced seminars on methodology, or short-term residential opportunities.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-033 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for a State Dementia Care Research Center (henceforth Center) which aims to ultimately improve care for persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers/care partners by building a research evidence base that can be used to improve dementia care coordination, integration, and care transitions in community settings, as well as inform policymaking. With recognition of the differences in provision, coverage, and access to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (ADRD) care across the nation, this infrastructure resource will support research on social services and health systems within states. Specifically, the new resource will invite: (1) research on AD/ADRD care coordination, integration, and transitions within states; (2) the creation and integration of data on home and community-based services and health care data within states; and (3) support the dissemination of findings to stakeholders, the public, and policymakers. The Center will directly address AD/ADRD research implementation milestones on care integration with emphasis on healthcare disparities and policy by creating a consortium of scholars who will study AD/ADRD care coordination across settings, accounting for state-level and sub-state level heterogeneity in provision, coverage, and access to services.
Notice NOT-OD-23-175 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-24-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objective of the Molecular Atlas of Lung Development (LungMAP) program is to build a comprehensive molecular and cellular atlas of the human lung to serve as a reference platform to better understand both normal biology and disease pathobiology, and to identify critical cellular components, molecular pathways, and novel therapeutic targets in lung disease. LungMAP is an open access resource integrating multi-scale, high-content, high-resolution information to define lung cells with gene expression, physiological states, 3-dimensional locations, as well as developmental and pathological trajectories.

Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-24-023 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. To enable the development and validation of real-world remote digital endpoints from wearable devices for monitoring pain experience and progression, response to interventions, and impact on quality of life. In the context of this RFA, endpoints will include biosignatures derived from functional and physiological assessments detected from wearable devices. These biosignatures can be used to monitor the effects of therapeutics developed for the treatment of pain.
Notice NOT-EB-23-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-NR-24-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this initiative is to advance research that reduces firearm injury and disparities through the development and evaluation of firearm injury primary prevention interventions leveraging community healthcare settings.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-24-190 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Reissue of RFA-MH-21-205 to comply with DMS Policy. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), in support of the NIH Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, is one of several NOFOs aimed at supporting transformative discoveries that will lead to breakthroughs in understanding human brain function. Guided by the long-term scientific plan, BRAIN 2025: A Scientific Vision, this NOFO specifically seeks to support efforts addressing core ethical issues associated with research focused on the human brain and resulting from emerging technologies and advancements supported by the BRAIN Initiative. The hope is that efforts supported under this NOFO might be both complementary and integrative with the transformative, breakthrough neuroscience discoveries supported through the BRAIN Initiative.
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-25-125 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this R34 NOFO is to provide resources for evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of novel approaches that are uniquely tailored to the risk profiles of these populations, that will improve outcomes and modify health risk behavior. Resources may also be used for obtaining the preliminary data needed as a prerequisite to a larger-scale (efficacy or effectiveness) services study. The goal is to support research that develops and tests broadly implementable service system interventions to rapidly identify and effectively respond to reduce suicide and suicidal behavior in various groups of at-risk youth. Specifically, the goals of this NOFO are to: 1) develop a multi-level service system intervention that coordinates suicide risk identification, evaluation, and linkage to needed treatment and services for a specifically identified at-risk youth group; 2) test the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention in detecting and reducing suicide risk and suicidal behavior in the at-risk youth group; and 3) demonstrate the intervention's implementation and potential for future uptake in underserved, under-resourced community settings where additional at-risk youth are most likely to receive care. The ultimate goal of this NOFO is to develop and test the effectiveness of evidence-based strategies for detecting and preventing suicide and suicidal behavior among at-risk youth. It focuses on systems interventions to improve outcomes for youth and is not intended to support the development of new screening tools or assessment instruments.
