Funding Opportunity RFA-HG-21-041 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits R01 grant applications that propose independent research projects that are within the scientific mission areas of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and All of Us Research Program (All of Us). This program is intended to support Early Stage Investigators and New Investigators (https://grants.nih.gov/policy/early-investigators/index.htm) from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the health-related sciences.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-21-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites a single cooperative agreement application to establish a biorepository of human cardiovascular (CV) tissue and an infrastructure for discovery and mechanistic research to increase our knowledge of the CV complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and morbidity for individuals with T1D, but no T1D-specific therapy exists to prevent or treat this complication of diabetes because of challenges from inadequate preclinical models, decades-long disease progression and poorly defined differences in pathogenesis compared to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The FOA will support a two-phase research plan to encourage the use of human CV tissue to overcome these challenges. The goal of the first phase is to establish a biorepository through 1) the collection and storage of human cadaveric tissues from donors with T1D, T2D, and without diabetes; 2) the performance of quality control and basic histopathologic examination; and 3) the creation of a process for distribution of the biosamples and data to qualified investigators. The goal of the second phase is to serve as the Data Coordinating Center for a consortium that will perform a multimodal analysis to deeply phenotype the anatomical, cellular, and molecular composition of the tissues and make the results available in a public data portal.
Funding Opportunity PAR-21-303 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage exploratory/developmental research applications that propose to study the development, validation, feasibility, and effectiveness of innovative mobile health (mHealth) interventions or tools specifically suited for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that utilize new or emerging technology, platforms, systems, or analytics. The overall goal of the program is to catalyze innovation through multidisciplinary research that addresses global health problems, develop an evidence base for the use of mHealth technology to improve clinical and public health outcomes, and strengthen mHealth research capacity in LMICs. Applicants are required to propose partnerships between at least one U.S. institution and one LMIC institution.
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-21-052 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is inviting applications to form the Acquired Resistance to Therapy Network (ARTNet). The ARTNet FOA is a reissuance that builds upon the Drug Resistance and Sensitivity Network (DRSN, RFA-CA-17-009) to focus study on the mechanistic basis of acquired resistance to cancer therapies and disease recurrence. Central to the ARTNets structural organization is team science approaches that iteratively bridge basic, pre-clinical, and translational research along the tumor-microenvironment continuum to inform new strategies that can be better translated to overcome significant challenges in acquired resistance to cancer therapies. This FOA will be published in parallel with a companion FOA titled Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) for Acquired Resistance to Therapy Network (ARTNet; U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed).
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-21-053 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications from appropriate multidisciplinary groups to support a Coordinating Center to facilitate overall coordination across the Acquired Resistance to Therapy Network (ARTNet; see U54 awards supported under companion RFA-CA-21-052). The overarching goal of the ARTNet is to bridge basic, pre-clinical, and translational research along the tumor-tumor microenvironment continuum to inform new strategies that can be better translated to overcome significant challenges in acquired resistance to cancer therapies. The Coordinating Center will assemble the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate and implement the administrative, outreach, collaborative, and data management activities of the ARTNet.

Funding Opportunity PAR-21-292 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research applications to develop and pilot test the effectiveness and implementation of family navigator models designed to promote early access, engagement and coordination of mental health treatment and services for children and adolescents who are experiencing early symptoms of mental health problems. For the purposes of this FOA, NIMH defines a family navigator model as a health care professional or paraprofessional whose role is to deploy a set of strategies designed to rapidly engage youth and families in needed treatment and services, work closely with the family and other involved treatment and service providers to optimize care and monitor the trajectory of mental health symptoms and outcomes over time. Applicants are encouraged to develop and pilot test the navigator models ability to promote early access, engagement and coordination of mental health treatment and services for children and adolescents as soon as symptoms are detected. Of interest are navigator models that coordinate needed care strategies, determine the personalized match to the level of needed service amount, frequency and intensity, and harness novel technologies to track and monitor the trajectory of clinical, functional and behavioral progress toward achieving intended services outcomes. This FOA is published in parallel to a companion R01 (Currently Temp-11229)
