Funding Opportunity RFA-NR-24-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Transformative Research to Address Health Disparities and Advance Health Equity initiative is soliciting applications to support unusually innovative intervention research addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) which, if successful, would have a major impact on preventing, reducing, or eliminating health disparities and advancing health equity. Projects should clearly demonstrate, based on the strength of the logic, a compelling potential to produce a major impact on advancing NIHs commitment to addressing SDOH to accelerate progress in improving health for all. Preliminary data are not required for this initiative.

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-096 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Program Announcement (PAR) is to enable clinical validation of strong candidate biomarkers for neurological diseases and conditions. Specifically, the goal of this PAR is to enable the rigorous validation of biomarker measurements within the clinical population of interest to establish the positive and negative predictive values of the candidate biomarker consistent with FDA guidelines. This PAR assumes that 1) a candidate biomarker has already been identified, 2) detection method technology has already been developed and analytically validated, and 3) the research and/or clinical need and potential context of use has been identified.

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-095 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. (Reissue PAR-21-056) The purpose of this Program Announcement (PAR) is to enable analytical validation of strong candidate biomarkers for neurological diseases and conditions. Specifically, the goal of this PAR is to enable the rigorous validation of analytical methods for biomarker measurements, including evaluation of the detection method, its performance characteristics, and the optimal conditions that will generate reproducibility and accuracy consistent with FDA guidelines. This PAR assumes that 1) a candidate biomarker has already been identified, 2) detection method technology has already been developed, and 3) the research and/or clinical need and potential context of use has been identified.

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-129 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to provide continuing support for specific pathogen-free (SPF) macaque colonies previously funded under the auspices of PAR-21-089 and PAR-18-669 that support Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) research. Breeding colonies are essential to sustain appropriate SPF macaques for research related to HIV/AIDS. Pedigree SPF macaques are free of certain viruses, which may confound the results of HIV/AIDS-related investigations or present a risk to the personnel who care for the animals. The SPF macaques are genetically characterized for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I types, because MHC class I genotypes have large effects on macaque immune responses to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that can induce AIDS in nonhuman primates (NHPs) and on human immune responses to HIV.

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-113 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the International Research Scientist Development Award (IRSDA) is to provide support and protected time (three to five years) to advanced postdoctoral U.S. research scientists and recently-appointed U.S. junior faculty (applicants must be at least two years beyond conferral of doctoral degree) for an intensive, mentored research career development experience in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC), as defined by the World Bank (http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups, including "low-income," "lower-middle-income," and "upper-middle-income" countries) leading to an independently-funded research career focused on global health. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from postdoctoral research scientists and junior faculty from any health-related discipline who propose career development activities and a research project that is relevant to the health priorities of the LMIC under the mentorship of LMIC and U.S. mentors.

Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-24-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), issued by the Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites applications from entities/institutions in Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible states to participate as the Data Coordinating and Operations Center (DCOC) in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ECHO ISPCTN). This RFA runs in parallel with companion RFA (Clinical Sites RFA-OD-***) that will solicit applications for ECHO ISPCTN Clinical Sites. The ECHO ISPCTN DCOC and Clinical Sites together will form the ECHO ISPCTN. The ECHO ISPCTN is the intervention component of the ECHO Program and supports its overall mission to enhance the health of children for generations to come. The DCOC award budget will fund approximately five multicenter pediatric clinical trials with each trial related to prevention or treatment of one or more of ECHOs five outcome areas of interest: pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes; upper and lower airways; obesity; neurodevelopment; and positive health. Overall, the five trials should address at least two of the five areas. The DCOC will support the ECHO ISPCTN Clinical Sites to Develop, conduct, and disseminate findings from multicenter clinical trials research, assuring the participation of children living in rural or underserved communities in IDeA states Build pediatric clinical trial research capacity in IDeA states funded by the ECHO ISPCTN Engage interested parties such as community members, nonprofit organizations, and professional societies to enhance ECHO ISPCTN clinical trial impact, transferability, rigor, and feasibility Through the rigorous use of appropriate scientific methodology and by recruiting and retaining the numbers of participants that justify multicenter trials, the ECHO ISPCTN aims to provide valid and generalizable answers to intervention research questions relevant to the health of children from rural
