Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-20-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications to participate as a Research Center in the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium (PCGC) (http://www.benchtobassinet.com/). The PCGCs mission is to identify genetic causes of human congenital heart disease (CHD) and to relate genetic variants in patients with CHD to clinical outcomes through collaborative, multi-center studies. The PCGC fosters investigation along the translational spectrum of CHD research through interactions with Cardiovascular Development Data Resource Center (CDDRC, previously the Cardiovascular Development Consortium) and the Pediatric Heart Network (PHN). Together, they constitute the Bench to Bassinet Program (http://www.benchtobassinet.com/ProgramOverview.asp) (B2B). Sites not currently part of the PCGC are encouraged to apply and propose new directions for the consortium.
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-20-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objective of this FOA is to support the development of the Data Resource Center for the basic science component of the NHLBI Bench to Bassinet (B2B) Program. The goal of the Data Resource Center is to accelerate discovery of genetic etiology and biologic pathways associated with cardiovascular development and congenital heart disease by facilitating access to and querying of annotated data from cardiovascular development studies.
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-294 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support translational research that provides strong justification for later-phase therapeutics discovery and development efforts in health-related outcomes relevant to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. This includes outcomes relevant to obesity, diabetes and related aspects of endocrinology and metabolism, digestive diseases, liver diseases, nutrition, kidney and urological diseases, and hematology. Additional information concerning programmatic areas at NIDDK is available a www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/research-programs/Pages/default.aspx and applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss research priorities with the Scientific Contact.
Notice NOT-HL-19-704 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-20-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this initiative is to support research that can lead to the development of interventions for optimizing communication among patients, caregivers, and health care practitioners, and for preserving strong and supportive caregiving relationships throughout disease progression along the continuum of care for people with AD/ADRD. To these ends, basic research and translational research is solicited in two high-priority areas: (1) effective communications and relationships among patients, healthcare practitioners, and caregivers; and (2) associations between close relationship processes and health in caregiving relationships.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-20-036 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research applications addressing cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate aging of the reproductive tissues, including the gonadal niche, in gonads, reproductive accessory organs, and reproductive neuroendocrine system. This FOA will accept basic mechanistic studies in human subjects and vertebrate animals. Research supported by this initiative should enhance knowledge of mechanisms that regulate aging of the reproductive system.
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-292 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA is intended to foster research towards a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of gene-environment interplay in human diseases and conditions. Through this FOA, the NIDCR and NIEHS solicit applications that use animal models, in vitro systems, or ex vivo approaches to conduct mechanistic investigation of the interplay of genes/gene networks and environmental factors in dental, oral, craniofacial, and other diseases and conditions.
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-293 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to foster research towards a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of gene-environment interplay in human diseases and conditions. Through this FOA, the NIDCR and NIEHS solicit applications to develop novel and robust experimental systems that offer approaches complementary to human epidemiologic or in vivo studies to facilitate mechanistic investigation of gene-environment interplay in dental, oral, craniofacial, and other diseases and conditions.
Diversity Program Consortium Dissemination and Translation Awards (U01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-19-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications from sites not currently part of the Common Fund Enhancing Diversity in the Biomedical Research Workforce initiative, also known as the Diversity Program Consortium (DPC), to expand the national impact of the program. The purpose is to provide funds to institutions to implement DPC scientific approaches to understanding the effectiveness of biomedical research training, mentoring or research capacity building interventions aimed at enhancing diversity in the biomedical research workforce.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-291 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of NCI-funded cancer research. This FOA is specifically for laboratory-based scientists. The Research Specialist Award is designed to encourage the development of stable research career opportunities for exceptional scientists who want to continue to pursue research within the context of an existing NCI-funded basic, translational, clinical, or population science cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators. These non-tenure track scientists, such as researchers within a research program, are vital to sustaining the biomedical research enterprise. It is anticipated that only exceptional scientists who want to pursue research within the context of an existing NCI-funded cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators, will be competitive for this award.
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-290 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of NCI-funded cancer research. This FOA is specifically for core/shared resource/central scientific support scientists. The Research Specialist Award is designed to encourage the development of stable research career opportunities for exceptional scientists who want to continue to pursue research within the context of an existing NCI-funded basic, translational, clinical, or population science cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators. These scientists, such as researchers within a core/shared resource/central scientific support, are vital to sustaining the biomedical research enterprise. The Research Specialist Award is intended to provide salary support and sufficient autonomy so that individuals are not solely dependent on NCI grants held by others for career continuity.
