Funding Opportunity RFA-ES-18-008 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Phase I (R43) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to develop and/or adapt novel technologies to enable the characterization of human exposures to engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and to monitor or assess ENMs in diverse media ranging from biological samples to air and water.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DC-19-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages Exploratory/Developmental Phased Innovation (R21/R33) grant applications to support research and/or infrastructure needs in emerging scientific areas leading to more accessible and affordable hearing health care for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. The proposed research aims should be milestone-driven and lead to better hearing healthcare, targeting enhanced access and affordability, in an effort to improve outcomes for adults with hearing loss. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this FOA may not exceed five years. This FOA provides support for up to two years (R21 phase) for preliminary/developmental studies, followed by possible transition of up to four years of expanded research and development support (R33). This FOA requires measurable R21 milestones.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-18-037 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objectives of this Funding Opportunity Announcement are to promote research to: 1) understand the critical drivers of TB transmission at the individual and population levels in high-burden settings, particularly where high incidence of HIV co-infection contributes to TB rates. (This may include the aerobiology of infectious particles and environmental- and population-based factors.) 2) develop potential interventions to prevent TB transmission in HIV-endemic and other high-transmission settings and to measure the rate of transmission underpinned by an increased understanding of the biomedical basis of transmission and related risk factors.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-19-101 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This NIMH Research Career Enhancement Award (K18) program invites applications from experienced investigators seeking to redirect or expand their research programs through the acquisition of new skills and knowledge in areas beyond and complementary to their current areas of expertise. The program will support research training and career development experiences and a small-scale research project that will provide experienced investigators with the scientific competencies required to conduct research relevant to services for adults and transition-age youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Eligible candidates are independent investigators at any faculty rank or level. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial, as part of their research and career development. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, must apply to companion FOA (FOA #).
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-19-100 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This NIMH Research Career Enhancement Award (K18) program invites applications from experienced investigators seeking to redirect or expand their research programs through the acquisition of new skills and knowledge in areas beyond and complementary to their current areas of expertise. The program will support research training and career development experiences and a small-scale research project that will provide experienced investigators with the scientific competencies required to conduct research relevant to services for adults and transition-age youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Eligible candidates are independent investigators at any faculty rank or level. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. Applicants proposing a clinical trial or an ancillary study to an ongoing clinical trial as lead investigator, should apply to the companion FOA RFA-MH-19-101.

Funding Opportunity RFA-ES-18-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is announcing the continuation of the Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program, referred to as Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers. SRP Center grants will support problem-based, solution-oriented research Centers that consist of multiple, integrated projects representing both the biomedical and environmental science and engineering disciplines; as well as cores tasked with administrative (which includes research translation), data management and analysis, community engagement, training, and research support functions. The scope of the SRP Centers is taken directly from the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and includes: (1) advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effect on human health of hazardous substances; (2) methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances; (3) methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment; and (4) basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-19-019 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for the next 5-year cycle of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), the leading nationally representative, longitudinal, data resource in the US for research on trends, dynamics, and disparities in late-life disability, and for studies of the social and economic consequences of late-life disability for individuals, families and society, including caregiving and end-of-life issues. NHATS has conducted seven annual rounds of data collection to date (an eighth round is in process) and is linked to the separately-funded National Study of Caregiving (NSOC). The goals of the next cycle are to 1) Continue the current structure and design elements of NHATS; 2) Permit studies of long-term trends in disability prevalence; 3) Enrich measurement of cognitive capacity; 4) Enhance measurement of physical activity and sedentary behavior; 5) Continue linkages with administrative records; and 6) Augment data dissemination and user support.
