Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-22-019 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Directors New Innovator Award Program supports early stage investigators of exceptional creativity who propose highly innovative research projects with the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important problems relevant to the mission of NIH. For the program to support the best possible researchers and research, applications are sought which reflect the full diversity of the research workforce. Individuals from diverse backgrounds and from the full spectrum of eligible institutions in all geographic locations are strongly encouraged to apply to this Funding Opportunity Announcement. In addition, applications in all topics relevant to the broad mission of NIH are welcome, including, but not limited to, topics in the behavioral, social, biomedical, applied, and formal sciences and topics that may involve basic, translational, or clinical research. The NIH Director's New Innovator Award Program complements ongoing efforts by NIH and its Institutes and Centers to fund early stage investigators through R01 grants, which continue to be the major sources of NIH support for early stage investigators. The NIH Directors New Innovator Award Program is a component of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program of the NIH Common Fund.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-23-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. oEnsuring all PLWH have rapid access to care, especially in resource-limited settings, remains a key challenge to the success of HIV care/treatment efforts. Same day or other rapid treatment initiation may be available, but patients may be concerned that other needs will make treatment difficult or they may face delays related to the enrollment process for treatment support mechanisms (e.g., ADAP, Ryan White, Medicaid). Similarly, long-term retention in HIV care and sustained achievement of viral suppression can be challenging even when ARV is introduced at or close to HIV diagnosis. Existing practices such as Strengths-Based Case Management and Patient Navigation often demonstrate a lack of efficacy among people with SUD. Persons with SUD and HIV often present clinical complexities and engagement with multiple services may be necessary; where reducing and eliminating barriers (i.e. structural or individual) to immediate linkage to care is critical to minimizing time between diagnosis and treatment and can lead to achieving Ending the Epidemic goals. Even with rapid ARV uptake, this population may need additional supports to remain continuously engaged in care. There is a need to develop and test evidence-based interventions at the systemic, organizational, and/or provider levels that can reduce the time between diagnosis and treatment while also retaining persons with SUD in HIV and SUD care.
Funding Opportunity RFA-MD-22-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from current Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) awardees to participate in the RCMI Clinical Research Network for Health Equity (RCMI-CRNHE), a newly established clinical research network that will transform the development, delivery, and sustainability of evidence-based health care practices and services by providing the infrastructure to leverage community-based clinicians and/or health care delivery systems to conduct research addressing health care for populations that experience health disparities including the diverse clinicians providing health services. The UG3/UH3 Cooperative Agreement involves 2 phases. The UG3 phase, for up to 2 years, is designed to support a project with specific milestones to be accomplished by the end of the period. The UH3 phase is to provide funding for up to 3 additional years following successful completion of the UG3. UG3 projects that meet their milestones will be administratively considered by NIMHD and prioritized for transition to the UH3 phase. Investigators submitting to this FOA must describe both UG3 and UH3 phases.
Funding Opportunity RFA-EY-22-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The overall purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applicants from multidisciplinary research teams to develop a community-based resource of microbial data associated with the resident ocular microbiome of healthy individuals. Interests also exist in identifying factors microbial communities elaborate that impact human physiology. This announcement will support research projects designed to: delineate and characterize core ocular microbial constituents in the front of the eye; understand their immune and neuro interactions and contributions to the maintenance of homeostasis; and integrate microbiome, omics, and clinical data to determine profiles that promote health of the ocular surface. The front of the eye or anterior segment includes the ocular surface, cornea, iris, ciliary body, conjunctiva, lens, eyelids and periocular skin.
