NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-23-051 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support dissemination and implementation (D and I) research focused on increasing access to and uptake of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing interventions with the goal of reducing COVID-19 disparities and promoting health equity among underserved and vulnerable populations. This NOFO will support D and I research on how evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies are effectively translated to and used in real-world settings. Projects may evaluate the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, or seek to understand the de-implementation of practices that are ineffective, low-value, or inequitable. Interventions developed through the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) initiative are encouraged, but not required. The funding for this program is provided from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2.
Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-23-050 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support analyses of existing RADx-UP data by proposing novel questions related to SARS-CoV-2 testing and health disparities. These projects will explore important questions focused on COVID-19 testing access and uptake, factors affecting testing and related COVID-19 outcomes, and meta-analyses of specific COVID-19 response and intervention approaches within and across populations.
Notice NOT-HS-23-012 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-AA-23-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-175 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NEI Center Core Grant combines three or more Resource and/or Service Cores for a group of R01 investigators to enhance their research, consolidate resources, avoid duplication of efforts, and/or contribute to cost effectiveness by providing a service with lower costs or higher quality than could be attempted for independent projects by several individual Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD(s)/PI(s)). Shared resources and facilities that are accessible to a group of independently funded investigators lead to greater productivity for the separate projects and can provide instrumentation and facilities that are too costly to be maintained by an individual investigator. The design and purpose of each Center Core may vary in how it serves its users. This program is designed to enhance an institution's environment and capability to conduct vision research and to facilitate collaborative studies of the visual system and its disorders and promote new research within the NEI mission and Strategic Plan.
Notice NOT-AT-24-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-AT-24-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-OD-23-121 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-AT-24-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-EB-23-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Ethical considerations are intrinsic to the conduct of robotic and bionic device research. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications that propose research on ethical questions associated with all stages of the design, testing, and/or implementation of bionic and robotic devices.
Notice NOT-MH-23-315 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-MH-23-236 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-MH-23-235 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-192 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to provide investigators with a mechanism to request services from this facility that would advance their contraceptive development program. This FOA aims to position innovative and validated methods for future clinical development. Applicants do not need to have current NIH funding to apply, but priority may be given to programs receiving NIH support at the time of application submission.
Notice NOT-NS-23-048 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-DK-23-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-23-028 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. More than 25 million Americans suffer from daily chronic pain, a highly debilitating medical condition that is complex and difficult to manage. In recent decades, there has been an overreliance in the prescription of opioids for chronic pain despite their poor ability to improve function and high addiction liability. This contributed to a significant and alarming epidemic of opioid overdose deaths and addictions. Innovative scientific solutions to develop alternative pain treatment options are thus critically needed. Through targeted research efforts, the NIH HEAL Initiative aims to support the development of safe and effective devices to treat pain with little or no addiction liability. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is designed to support interdisciplinary research teams of multiple PD/PIs to investigate the mechanism of action of pain relief by medical devices with the overall goal of optimizing therapeutic outcomes for FDA-approved or -cleared technologies. Program teams are expected to accomplish goals that require considerable synergy and collaborative interactions. Teams must leverage appropriate multi-disciplinary expertise to develop new principles and methods for experimentation, analysis, and interpretation. Teams are encouraged to consider objectives that will produce major advances in the field of pain relief by medical devices.
Notice NOT-DE-23-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-016 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to establish a network of transdisciplinary aging researchers to develop the infrastructure to conduct explanatory randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of prevention and treatment of selected diseases of aging and Alzheimers disease and Alzheimers disease-related dementia (AD/ADRD) within nursing homes. The aim of the network and its projects is to build the infrastructure to evaluate the efficacy of prevention and treatment of medical conditions including AD/ADRD in the long-term care population.
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-23-038 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The scientific objectives of this P20 FOA are to support planning and feasibility studies to integrate cancer health disparities into immuno-oncology research studies. The P20 project will enable complementary, multi-disciplinary research teams to address inter-disciplinary research to integrate cancer health disparities into immuno-oncology research. It is anticipated these feasibility or pilot studies will support the exploration of novel or high-risk research hypotheses.
