NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PA-18-754 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) applications to support the development of novel biomarkers and improved HIV incidence assays and algorithms with increased specificity for distinguishing recent (within the first 12 months) from chronic HIV infections.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-18-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications that support research on and early development of next generation biologics with the goal of inducing sustained HIV remission.
Funding Opportunity RFA-FD-18-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a virtual bioequivalence trial simulation platform that can be used to perform population-based statistical analysis in complex and computationally intensive physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models developed to describe the absorption, distribution and elimination of active pharmaceutical ingredients formulated in complex and non-complex dosage forms administered via oral or non-oral routes. The developed virtual bioequivalence trial simulation platform will be used to generate predictions on the in vivo drug product performance, to perform bioequivalence assessments between brand name and generic drug products and to inform regulatory decisions relating to generic drug development.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-755 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The primary goal of the NIMH Career Transition Award for Tenure-Track Intramural Investigators (K22) Program (hereafter abbreviated as the NIMH Career Transition K22 Program) is to provide support for career intramural investigators at NIMH who aim to transition from the Division of Intramural Research Programs (DIRP) to an independent research faculty position in the extramural community. Applicants should have a demonstrated record of meritorious research in mental health-related fields

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-749 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement encourages collaborative teams to target gaps in methods and outcomes regarding research participant recruitment and retention. The team approach encouraged by this initiative will be used to generate a research resource to advance processes for high yield recruitment, formulate breakthrough ideas, concepts and approaches to research participant recruitment and retention, strengthen outreach and community engagement practices, and devise improved communication strategies. Teams will demonstrate the success of these improvements by engaging a large diverse population. The primary outcome will be the development of a population of diverse community members ready to engage in NIA funded clinical research studies.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-745 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage developmental and exploratory research focused on determining the mechanisms for the variation in the prevalence of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), and understanding and reducing disparities in opioid care in minority health and health disparity populations in the U.S. This initiative will also seek to identify multi-level intervention strategies at the institutional and systems level for addressing OUD in these populations.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-747 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks to support investigative and collaborative research focused on determining the mechanisms for the variation in the prevalence of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), and understanding and reducing disparities in opioid care in minority health and health disparity populations in the U.S. This initiative will also seek to identify multi-level intervention strategies at the institutional and systems level for addressing OUD in these populations.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-748 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the administrative supplement is to provide support for NIH-funded investigators to prepare and deposit individual-level data from cancer epidemiology studies into NIH/NCI-supported, controlled-access databases including the Cancer Epidemiology Data Repository (CEDR) and the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). Sharing of research data will accelerate scientific discovery and increase opportunities for collaboration to provide new clues to cancer etiology, determine risk factors, and improve cancer survivorship.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-750 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer, of higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used. AHRQ's Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (CQuIPS) works to ensure patient safety in multiple settings with recent efforts to increase the development of processes including measures, metrics, tools and practices to increase patient safety in the ambulatory care setting and long term care facilities. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will fund large research demonstration and implementation projects that pertain to ambulatory care settings and long term care facilities with a focus on implementing evidence-based processes to improve patient safety, especially those involving transitions in care. AHRQ is interested in studies in these two settings that develop, utilize, and evaluate strategies to implement existing measures, metrics, tools or practices that have already been validated and have been shown to be efficacious in improving patient safety sites.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-746 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications for institutional research career development (K12) programs that propose to support intensive supervised research training and career development experiences for clinician scientists (Scholars) leading to research independence in the area of substance use disorder research. This FOA allows appointment of Scholars proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary study to an existing trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development
