Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-045 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications to proposehuman studies to better understand thefactors underlying the response variability to exercise training in older adults. This NOFO encourages studies to identify systemic modulators, biomarkers, and other potential mechanisms underlying exercise variation in endpoints that are clinically relevant for older adults. This NOFO also encourages transdisciplinary studies utilizing innovative design methods and analytical approaches combined with clinical phenotyping to disentangle the complicated relationships between endogenous and exogenous factors that drive response variation to exercise. Elucidating factors and mechanisms that underlie variations in exercise response and the extent to which these factors are modifiable may enable more precise and efficacious exercise prescriptions to optimize the clinical efficacy of exercise training in older adults.
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-245 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to advance the development of novel informatics and data science approaches that can help individuals understand and improve their health through actionable insights. NLM seeks applications that further the science of personal health informatics by providing meaningful and actionable insights to individuals through innovative personal health data collection, integration, analysis, and personalized risk assessments and interpretation. Applications seeking to advance the understanding of how informatics tools, systems, and platforms can best present the results, interpretation, and limitations of personalized assessments for the benefit of individuals are encouraged. Applications should include end user engaged approaches and real-world evaluation to inform the design of generalizable, reusable, and scalable personal health informatics tools, systems, and platforms for the benefit of individuals in understanding and improving their health.
Notice NOT-HL-23-102 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-243 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of NCI-funded cancer research. This FOA is specifically for laboratory-based scientists.The Research Specialist Award is designed to encourage the development of stable research career opportunities for exceptional scientists who want to continue to pursue research within the context of an existing NCI-funded basic, translational, clinical, or population science cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators. These non-tenure track scientists, such as researchers within a research program, are vital to sustaining the biomedical research enterprise. It is anticipated that only exceptional scientists who want to pursue research within the context of an existing NCI-funded cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators, will be competitive for this award.

Notice NOT-NS-23-105 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-029 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites innovative studies that will explore how structural, community, and interpersonal mechanisms operate over the life course among middle aged and older adults to shape health outcomes of Latino/a, Black, Asian, and other first generation immigrant groups in the United States (US) and result in health disparities among these populations. This NOFO also invites innovative studies that will explore data needs and methods when studying the effect of immigration on life course health and Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). This NOFO and RFA-AG-24-028 are companion announcements. RFA-AG-24-028 invites Research Project Grant (R01) applications. Applications with preliminary data are encouraged to apply to RFA-AG-24-028, while high-risk/high-payoff projects that lack preliminary data may be more appropriate for this NOFO.

Funding Opportunity PAR-23-259 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to stimulate translation of scientific discoveries and engineering developments in imaging, data science and/or spectroscopic technologies into methods or tools that address contemporary problems in understanding the fundamental biology, potential risk of development, diagnosis, treatment, and/or disease status for cancer or other disease.
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-256 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support proof-of-concept feasibility trials guided by the NIH Music-based Interventions (MBI) Toolkit for research on brain disorders of aging. These early phase clinical trials will generate evidence supporting the validity of the NIH MBI Toolkits guiding principles as well as the necessary pilot data to design a subsequent clinical efficacy or effectiveness study (or pragmatic clinical trial) using music-based interventions in the context of brain disorders of aging, including but not limited to Alzheimers disease and Alzheimers disease-related dementias, Parkinsons disease, and stroke. The data collected should address gaps in scientific knowledge in order to facilitate development of a competitive large-scale clinical trial.
