NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Notice NOT-NS-18-054 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-18-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from the Program Directors/Principal Investigators of the current Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) awards. BUILD is part of the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce Program, also known as the Diversity Program Consortium (DPC), consists of three integrated initiatives: BUILD, the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) and the Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC). The purpose of the funding is to allow BUILD sites to continue to implement and evaluate the multi-pronged student, faculty, and institutional interventions to enhance diversity in the NIH biomedical research workforce. In preparation for the second phase of the BUILD initiative, the applicants are expected to provide plans to transition into sustainable models for enhancing diversity in the biomedical research fields at their institutions. Applicants are also expected to develop an effective training, mentoring, or research capacity building intervention that will be disseminated to other institutions to increase the national impact of the initiative.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-18-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications from integrative teams and individual investigators for projects to determine the mechanisms underlying the contribution of these risk-associated genes and their variants for T1D. The purpose is to accelerate the discovery of function of the causal genes and variants that influence the risk for disease.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-735 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This opportunity supports research opportunities that will advance our understanding of, and the implementation of, the use of genomic information about an individual to inform clinical care, and the health outcomes of that clinical use.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-736 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This opportunity supports research opportunities that will advance our understanding of, and the implementation of, the use of genomic information about an individual to inform clinical care, and the health outcomes of that clinical use.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-737 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for Silvio O. Conte Centers for Basic Neuroscience or Translational Mental Health Research. The institute seeks teams of researchers working at different levels of analysis and employing integrative, novel, and creative experimental approaches to address high-risk, high-impact questions in basic neuroscience research, or in translational research with the primary objectives of: (a) advancing the state of the science in basic brain and behavior research that will uncover and dissect the underlying mechanisms that will ultimately provide the foundation for understanding mental disorders; (b) supporting the integration and translation of basic and clinical neuroscience research on severe mental illnesses; and/or (c) advancing our understanding of the neurobehavioral developmental mechanisms and trajectories of psychopathology that begin in childhood and adolescence. The Conte Centers program is intended to support interdisciplinary basic neuroscience or translational research demonstrating an extraordinary level of synergy, integration, and potential for advancing the state of the field. This program is intended only for projects that could not be achieved using other, more standard grant mechanisms. The Conte Centers program also provides an opportunity to establish interdisciplinary basic neuroscience or translational research experiences for students and post doctorates.
Notice NOT-OD-18-160 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-19-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Physician-Scientist Research Award for Early Stage Investigators is intended to support the independence of physician-scientist faculty committed to academic careers in heart, lung, and blood diseases, and sleep disorders and related implementation research.
Notice NOT-NS-18-051 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-734 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to promote initial establishment of basic science-clinical collaborations by providing small grants to teams of basic scientists, physician scientists, and/or clinicians. These interdisciplinary teams may include but are not limited to the following: developmental biologists, cell biologists, geneticists, genomicists, physician scientists including individuals with DVM/VMD degrees, clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and/or bioinformaticists.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-733 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Common Fund has established the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) to develop a pediatric research data resource populated by genome sequence and phenotype data that will be of high value for the communities of investigators who study the genetics of childhood cancers and/or structural birth defects. The overall goal of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource is to help researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of these conditions, leading to more refined diagnostic capabilities and ultimately more targeted therapies, as well as to develop an integrated pediatric research data resource by obtaining and aggregating genome sequence and phenotype data for as many relevant structural birth defects and pediatric cancer cohorts as possible and to advance research in this area through the broad sharing of these data with the research community. This FOA is intended to promote meritorious small research projects focused on the development and analyses of childhood cancer and/or structural birth defects datasets that are part of the Kids First Data Resource or could be included in the Kids First Data Resource. Development of statistical methodology appropriate for analyzing genome-wide data relevant to childhood cancer and/or structural birth defects may also be proposed.
Funding Opportunity PAS-18-730 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is calling for R01 grant applications in nonmalignant hematology research. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) have joined together to build and promote research activities in nonmalignant hematology. Innovative research project applications that will steer the field in new directions are invited. Each project will propose proof of principle research that is tightly focused into one specific aim and is directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to open up new pathways for discovery. Research applications submitted under this FOA should be more limited in scope (a single central aim) and duration (1-3 years) than typical R01 grant applications.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-731 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) represents the continuation of an NCI program to enhance the diversity of the pool of NCI-funded research workforce by recruiting and supporting eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences. This funding opportunity will also provide a bridge to investigators who have completed their research training and may need extra time to develop a larger research project grant application.
