NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-22-270 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Although the majority living with schizophrenia and related disorders are over 35 years old, including those first diagnosed and those aging with the illness, the mechanisms underlying the generation and trajectory of the illness remain poorly understood. The purpose of this initiative is to advance translational research to better understand the emergence and trajectory of schizophrenia and related disorders in mid to late life, and to identity targets for future development of prevention and treatment efforts
Funding Opportunity RFA-TR-22-032 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA provides support using the SBIR cooperative agreement mechanisms for the development, regulatory qualification and commercialization of alternative approaches methods (NAMs) that specifically utilizes the neuromuscular junction Tissue Chips (TC) platforms that will replace the LD50 assay (mouse lethality bioassay (MLB) as a potency assay for botulinum toxin. The NIH NCATS and FDA are partners in this FOA and will collaborate and coordinate efforts with award recipients. The goal of this collaboration is to establish the Botulinum Toxin Potency Assay using Tissue Chips (BoT PATCh) as a Drug Development Tool (DDT). A main objective for this funding opportunity would be to position BoT PATCh as an alternative test method that can be utilized as a stand-alone replacement for MLB. As a cooperative agreement, small business concerns (SBCs) will be expected to work with NIH and FDA staff to develop and implement the final validation plan for the proposed alternative test method.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-23-035 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) aims to support complementary research programs that adopt innovative scalable technologies to inventory, register and profile cellular ensembles and/or cell-types that produce and/or respond to opioids in the brain, or that are engaged during different stages of opioid use (acute, chronic, withdrawal, abstinence, relapse). Emphasis is on approaches capable of integrating data generated through molecular profiling of brain tissues at single-cell resolution with other data modalities , such as neurophysiological activity, connectivity and/or spatial localization, collected from the same cells. The overarching goal of the FOA is to generate and disseminate multimodal reference datasets that will be useful to the research community and will provide a foundational biological framework to advance the understanding of opioid-associated states.

Funding Opportunity RFA-HG-22-021 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the development, implementation, and maintenance of the AnVIL Clinical Resource (ACR), a suite of genomic-based clinical tools and services built into the NHGRI Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-Space (AnVIL) to foster clinical genomic research. AnVIL is a scalable and interoperable resource for the basic and clinical genomic research communities that leverages a cloud-based infrastructure to democratize data access, sharing, and computing across large genomic and genomic-related datasets.
Funding Opportunity RFA-NR-23-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages UG3/UH3 phased cooperative research applications to accelerate implementation of effective non-opioid interventions for chronic pain management in rural and remote populations. Projects include pragmatic, implementation, or hybrid effectiveness-implementation trials to improve pain management and reduce the use of inappropriate opioid medications. Awards made under this FOA will initially support a milestone-driven, planning phase (UG3) of 1 to 2 years, with possible transition to an implementation phase (UH3) of up to 4 years duration (5 years total for the two phases). UG3 projects that have met the scientific milestone and feasibility requirements may transition to the UH3 phase. The UG3/UH3 application must be submitted as a single application, following the instructions described in this FOA. The overall goal of this initiative is to support the "real world" implementation of effective interventions to manage pain in rural and remote areas. Results from the trials supported by this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) should inform policy makers, payers, community stakeholders, as well as health care providers and patients in the primary care, emergency department, hospital, home health, or dental setting. This FOA requires that the investigators partner with one or more rural healthcare system(s) to plan and implement the intervention. During the planning phase, investigators must develop an additional one or more community-based partnership(s). Studies may propose to integrate multi-component, bundled, or multi-level interventions that have demonstrated efficacy.
Funding Opportunity PAR-22-254 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide opportunities for eligible U.S. small business concerns (SBCs), together with academic partners, in the Northeast region of the Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible states, to apply forIDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development (I-RED) program awards that support the development of educational products to promote biomedical entrepreneurship in the Northeast region of IDeA states. These educational products are expected to address the needs of IDeA state academic institutions in developing and/or strengthening technology transfer programs that stimulate technological innovation by translating scientific discoveries and technologies from research laboratories into commercial products that improve human health and promote economic growth in the Northeast region of IDeA states.

Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-23-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis by supporting the development of therapies and technologies directed at enhanced pain management through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. This FOA is focused on applications directed at improving pain treatment, including the development of new non-addictive medications and devices and objective pain measurement. In addition, NIH is interested in new screening tools and models focused specifically on pain and development of pain therapies.
