NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-302 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for implementation of investigator-initiated multi-site interventional clinical trials (all phases). The trials should be hypothesis-driven, milestone-defined, and related to NIA's research mission.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-20-039 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. To date, limited evidence suggests that regulation of lipid metabolism can modulate lifespan. This funding opportunity announcement aims to encourage innovative research programs designed to improve and expand our understanding of novel regulatory mechanisms governing lipid metabolism and signaling in the context of aging and age-associated conditions.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-301 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for support of national or regional resources that will provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technologies, research tools, software, and/or service to a substantial user base at institutions across multiple states (regional) or the country (national). These resources should already be established, although new resources formed through consolidation of multiple local or regional facilities are also eligible. They should be poised to achieve or already have achieved significant economies of scale and should be able to significantly increase access to the supported technologies or services for researchers across one or more regions or the country. Major new research and development efforts should not be included. For this FOA, a resource is defined as an activity that provides research capabilities and expertise to a large number of investigators and is available to any qualified investigator as a service. The intent is to provide access to investigators without regard to the particular biomedical focus of their research, but not to duplicate or replace resources supported by other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) or host institutions. Only those resources whose technical capabilities fall within the program areas supported by NIGMS will be supported. It is expected that the resource will be maintained or upgraded to current best practices, make its capability and availability known to the biomedical research community through outreach activities, and provide user training and support. Stand-alone data resources and databases are not eligible for funding through this FOA. This FOA is limited to applications requesting support for resources that have been developed through previous NIGMS funding.

Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-19-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Common Fund initiative is to advance the application of cryoelectron tomography (cryoET), a powerful new method for directly visualizing macromolecular associations and organization in native cells. The two FOAs for this initiative will establish a national network of service centers that will provide these services to the community: collection of high-resolution cryoET data, cryoET specimen preparation, access for users to advanced instrumentation for cryoET, and cross-training in cryoET methods. This FOA, one of two for the initiative, will establish four service centers that will specialize in cryoET specimen preparation. The other FOA, RFA-RM-19-010, will establish a network hub that will support these service centers and collect cryoET data for them.

Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-19-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Common Fund initiative is to advance the application of cryoelectron tomography (cryoET), a powerful new method for directly visualizing macromolecular associations and organization in native cells. The two FOAs for this initiative will establish a national network of service centers that will provide these services to the community: collection of high-resolution cryoET data, cryoET specimen preparation, access for users to advanced instrumentation for cryoET, and cross-training in cryoET methods. This FOA will establish one service center that will serve as the network's central hub. The hub will serve user laboratories in the community directly and will also provide services to the four service centers that will be established by the companion FOA, RFA-RM-19-009. Those other centers will specialize in specimen preparation. The hub will perform cryoET data collection for all the user laboratories served by the whole network.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-300 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training program is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a Ph.D., who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-based approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow appointed Trainees to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
