Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-25-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this funding opportunity for a Clinical Coordinating Center is to support a clinical trial which will test intervention(s) to reduce the progression of coronary atherosclerosis among young adults under the age of fifty years old who are at low or borderline 10-year risk ( 7.5%) for their first an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event, yet at high lifetime risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This opportunity will support a two-phased primary prevention clinical trial that will first efficiently screen the appropriate population eligible for the intervention and second determine which intervention(s) are most efficacious at reducing the onset or slowing the progression of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. It is expected that phase one will overlap with phase two. Trial participants who are identified as meeting the subclinical coronary atherosclerosis criteria for enrollment in the screening stage will be immediately enrolled in stage two even although stage one recruitment will continue until the trial is completely enrolled. It is expected that the trial will have three arms. One will be a control or comparison arm and the second and the third arm will test different interventions than the control arm. The control arm should be current guideline based behavioral interventions. One of the two non-control arms is expected to involvement pharmacological intervention(s) with definite evidence of efficacious for primary prevention in older high risk adults such as LDL- lowering therapy and the other arm may involve intervention(s) with less definite evidence of primary prevention efficacy in older adults The long range goal of this research strategy is to determine if earlier treatment prevents more CVD than current guideline recommended treatment. Applications for both a CCC and a DCC must be submitted on the same application due date for consideration by NHLBI.

Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-25-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This NOFO will support applications to develop and implement a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for a multi-site clinical trial among young adults without clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). It will utilize a milestone-driven cooperative agreement mechanism of award and runs in parallel with a companion NOFO that encourages applications for a collaborating Clinical Coordinating Center (RFA-HL-25-010). The objective of the DCC application is to present a comprehensive plan to provide overall project coordination, administration, data management, and biostatistical support for the clinical trial proposed in the collaborating CCC application. The application should also describe its approaches to collaborate with the CCC (RFA-HL-25-010) on implementation of the clinical trial community engagement and diversity plans, as well as reducing health inequities. Clinical trials using innovative designs such as platform trials, adaptive, and Bayesian designs are welcomed. Applications for both a DCC and a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) must be submitted on the same application due date for consideration by NHLBI. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Scientific/Research contact prior to submitting an application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Scientific/Research contact prior to submitting an application. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP).

Funding Opportunity RFA-HG-24-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) seeks to broaden the types of knowledge, skills, expertise, experience, and perspectives brought to bear in research addressing the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of advances in human genetics or genomics. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits UM1 applications from domestic organizations located in the United States and its territories that received less than $30 million per year in total NIH funding for the past three fiscal years. These organizations are underrepresented among those receiving NHGRI funding for ELSI research. The Building Partnerships and Broadening Perspectives to Advance Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research (BPAER) Program will support: 1) transdisciplinary ELSI research addressing timely, complex, and understudied topics, 2) the establishment of research teams that include representatives from relevant communities who are affected by and have an interest in the proposed research, 3) research capacity building to develop, conduct and sustain ELSI research, and 4) workforce development opportunities for early career scholars, research team members, and other research project staff. Transdisciplinary ELSI research projects require involvement from two or more fields of knowledge and use of multiple research approaches. Relevant communities must be actively and meaningfully involved on ELSI research teams across all phases of proposed research projects. Research capacity building plans must be informed by a needs assessment. Given the complex structure, a strategic management plan, evaluation plan, and sustainability plan are required to ensure successful completion of the program.

Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-24-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this National Cancer Institute (NCI) R25 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Research Experiences, Curriculum or Methods Development and Outreach. The NCIs mission is to conduct and support research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to cancer. This funding opportunity seeks to facilitate the education of students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research who will become knowledgeable about cancer, and available to focus on cancer later in their careers. With the aim of enhancing the pool of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research via early intervention strategies, the NCI Youth Enjoy Science (YES) Program will support efforts to create and maintain an institutional program to engage grades 6-12 and/or undergraduate students from underrepresented populations in cutting edge cancer research experiences. The proposed institutional programs may also provide research experiences for the grade 6-12 teachers and undergraduate faculty members who serve underrepresented student populations. The specific goals are to inspire interest in biomedical sciences, help envision research as a career path, and strengthen practical research and career skills. In alignment with these goals, institutions may develop unique programs that capitalize on their research strengths and are responsive to their target populations.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-26-100 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this effort is to support the development and validation of next generation platforms and analytic approaches to precisely quantify behaviors in humans and link them with simultaneously recorded brain activity. Tools used for analyzing behavior should be multi-modal and should be able to be linked to brain activity and thus have the accuracy, specificity, temporal resolution, and flexibility commensurate with tools used to measure and modulate the brain circuits that give rise to those behaviors. This phased award will support novel tool development (i.e., hardware/software) in the R61 phase and synchronization of novel tools for measuring behavior and human brain activity in the R33 phase.
