NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-22-022 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to support a cohort of new and talented independent investigators conducting Pain and/or SUD research, in order to increase the independent investigator workforce in research areas supported by the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of eligible outstanding postdoctoral researchers from their mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. The program will provide independent NIH research support during this transition to help awardees establish independent research programs in areas supported by the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM.

Notice NOT-NS-23-038 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-22-075 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide support to the 12 Regional Biocontainment Laboratories (RBLs) previously constructed with NIAID support to enable them to develop and maintain resources, staff, and facilities necessary to address biodefense agents, emerging infectious diseases, and pandemic preparedness in line with NIAID priorities. Operations support is provided for facility maintenance and operations, as well as Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) practices support for personnel working in and around BSL-3 space and associated building systems. An optional component would allow the RBLs to provide specialized services essential to support BSL3 activities. The RBLs will serve as regional resources for efforts in conducting pre-clinical and laboratory (in vitro and in vivo) research and testing on hazardous biological agents in support of NIAIDs biodefense, emerging infectious diseases, and pandemic preparedness research efforts.

Funding Opportunity PAR-23-059 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for investigator-initiated Program Project (P01) applications. The proposed Program may address any of the broad areas of cancer research, including (but not limited to) cancer biology, cancer prevention, cancer diagnosis, cancer treatment, and cancer control. Basic, translational, clinical, and/or population-based studies in all of these research areas are appropriate. Each application submitted in response to this FOA must consist of at least three research projects and an Administrative Core. The projects must share a common central theme, focus, and/or overall objective.
Notice NOT-GM-23-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-056 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to enhance mechanistic and epidemiologic investigations addressing the roles of co-infection and cancer to shed light on presently unestablished pathways in carcinogenesis that may inform prevention and treatment strategies for infection-related cancers. Co-infection is defined as the occurrence of infections by two or more infectious (pathogenic or non-pathogenic) agents either concurrently or sequentially and includes both acute and chronic infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and/or other microorganisms. Preference will be given to investigations of co-infections with known oncogenic agents (excluding human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) and of co-infections that engender novel opportunities for prevention and treatment.
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-055 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative seeks to enhance our mechanistic and epidemiologic understanding of infection-related cancers, with a focus on the etiologic roles of co-infection in cancer. Preference will be given to co-infections (excluding co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) that engendered novel opportunities for prevention and treatment and focus on understudied populations. Coinfection is defined as the occurrence of infections by two or more infectious (pathogenic or nonpathogenic) agents either concurrently or sequentially and includes both acute and chronic infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and/or other microorganisms.
Notice NOT-MH-23-150 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-23-003 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 OBSSR R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for Skills Development
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-050 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to support collaborative clinical studies, not involving treatment development, efficacy, or effectiveness trials. Primary areas of focus include mental health genetics, biomarker studies, and studies of mental illnesses (e.g., psychopathology, neurodevelopmental trajectories of psychopathology) also when associated with HIV/AIDS. Applicants should apply to this FOA when two or more sites are needed to complete the study. Accordingly, the collaborating studies share a specific protocol across the sites and are organized as such in order to increase sample size, accelerate recruitment, or increase sample diversity and representation. In studies with a large number of sites, it is expected that one site will be submitted as a coordinating R01 for data management and/or other centralized administration.
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-066 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Violence affects people of all ages and its impact is far-reaching. It is a leading cause of death and nonfatal injuries in the United States and constitutes a major public health crisis, especially among young people, and in particular among racial/ethnic minority, sexual and gender minority (SGM) and disability populations. NIH is committed to supporting research that identifies innovative prevention approaches to reduce firearm and related violence, injury and mortality. Within the legislative mandates and limitations of NIH funding (NOT-OD-21-058, NOT-OD-21-056), this initiative will support a network of research projects to develop and test interventions at the community or community organization level that aim to prevent firearm and related violence, injury and mortality

Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-24-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this initiative is to address the structural incentives that limit translation from epidemiology into prevention science using a two-pronged approach. The phased R61/R33 mechanism will support innovative epidemiologic research using either primary data collection or analysis of existing data related to substance use and addiction in the R61 phase to provide the foundation for a targeted prevention intervention in the R33 phase. The R33 phase would apply the findings from the R61 phase to either a) adapt or target an existing intervention to increase effect size or reach a new population or b) develop a novel intervention to address a new prevention target. Applicants would be required to use an MPI/MPD structure so that there is a PI with relevant expertise to lead the different components of the project. The supplement mechanism will capitalize on bidirectional translational science wherein existing epidemiological projects can submit proposals to test prevention hypotheses as well as prevention interventions can submit proposals for additional epidemiological inquiry to help contextualize their findings.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this RFA is to foster research that examines the molecular mechanisms and consequences of age-related alterations in interorgan communication, thereby modulating the age-related decline in homeostasis thus contributing to the heterogeneity of aging.
