NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PAR-21-157 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit an Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD)-focused U01 that is ancillary to, but integrated with, the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS) U19 to provide in-depth information to elucidate behavioral, social, psychological and biological pathways of risk and resilience to cognitive decline and AD/ADRD.

Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-22-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to serve as the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) that will support the activities of the Lung Transplant Consortium (LTC). The primary responsibility of the DCC will be to oversee the conduct of multiple observational clinical studies involving lung transplantation in the LTC. The DCC will support regulatory and administrative activities, data and biospecimen collection and management, statistical analyses, and the reporting of study results in a timely manner. The DCC will promote collaboration and communication among LTC investigators and the broader research community and will coordinate outreach activities including engaging foundations, societies, and other entities with a shared interest in lung transplantation. The DCC will be responsible for integrating the efforts of approximately 24 individual LTC Clinical Centers performing observational research studies to identify factors that impact donor lung utilization and the development of acute lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients. The NHLBI anticipates that the DCC will collaborate strategically with the LTC Clinical Centers to provide support for protocol development, statistical data analyses, biospecimen collection and storage, the publication of results, and providing datasets for secondary analyses by the broader research community. This FOA runs in parallel with a separate FOA that invites applications for the LTC Clinical Centers, described in detail in RFA-HL-22-002
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-22-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications from lung transplant clinical centers (CCs) to form a cooperative multi-site Lung Transplant Consortium (LTC). The LTC will support CCs in conducting observational and complementary mechanistic clinical research studies that aim to understand the impact of site-specific lung transplant selection criteria and clinical management strategies on donor lung utilization and/or early post-transplant outcomes such as the development of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and acute lung allograft dysfunction (ALAD) in recipients. Each CC application must consist of a multidisciplinary investigative team that includes a lung transplant surgeon and a lung transplant pulmonologist, and be comprised of primary and subsites that have a combined annual lung transplant volume of at least 100 transplants. Each CC application should propose hypothesis-driven scientific questions to assess certain donor and/or recipient clinical practices and their impact on donor lung utilization, PGD, ALAD or other relevant short-term outcomes that can be addressed through observational data and/or biospecimen collection and analysis at the sites included in their application. In addition, the CCs will be expected to enroll participants and contribute to a core set of data and biospecimens to be collected across all participating consortium sites through the implementation of a common research protocol under the auspices of a centralized Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and a Steering Committee (SC). By leveraging this shared longitudinal resource, LTC investigators will have the tools to identify and answer additional important research questions involving lung transplantation. This FOA runs in parallel with a separate FOA that invites applications for the LTC Data Coordinating Center, solicited under RFA-HL-22-003.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DE-22-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objective of the NIDCR Award for Sustaining Outstanding Achievement in Research (SOAR) is to provide longer-term support to NIDCR-funded investigators, who are in their mid-career stage, and have outstanding records of research productivity, mentorship and professional service to the research community. It is expected that the SOAR Award will propel the investigator along this career trajectory and allow him/her to embark on ambitious longer-term projects of extraordinary potential within the mission of NIDCR.
Funding Opportunity PAR-21-149 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for institutional research training programs in areas relevant to the NINDS mission. These institutional research training programs should produce well-trained neuroscientists who leave the program with the research skills and scientific knowledge to make a significant contribution to neuroscience research. Programs should be designed to enhance the breadth and depth of training in NINDS mission areas by incorporating didactic, research and career development components in the context of a defined scientific theme. Programs may support basic, clinical and/or translational research. Critical components of programs supported by this FOA include mechanisms to ensure a thorough understanding of experimental design, strong statistics and analytical skills, and skills for communicating science, both orally and in writing, to a wide variety of audiences. Regardless of theme, programs should provide opportunities and activities that will foster the development of quantitative literacy and the application of quantitative approaches to the trainees' research. NINDS institutional training programs are intended to be 1-2 years in duration and support training of one or more of the following groups: dissertation stage predoctoral students in their 3rd and/or 4th year of graduate school, postdoctoral fellows and fellowship-stage clinicians. (NINDS does not support first or second year graduate students under this PAR).
