NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-703 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research projects focused on adducts to cellular macromolecules as indicators of exposures to cancer risk factors relevant to human populations. The priority is on projects that will focus on adductomic approaches, i.e., address some aspects of the totality of adducts. These projects should explore the basic aspects of adducts/adductomics that may have a potential utility in cancer detection, cancer prevention, and/or assessing cancer risks. The projects should be relevant to adducts in humans and human populations but may be conducted using various model systems (e.g., cultured cells, animals, etc.). The use of human biospecimens is encouraged and expected if appropriate but not required. In well-justified cases, innovative studies using the adductomic approaches in the context of cancer etiology and/or gene-environment interaction research may also be appropriate. For projects intended for NIEHS support, the focus may be on innovative technology and method development.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-705 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) for projects to transfer technology out of the NIH intramural research labs into the private sector. If selected for SBIR funding, the SBC will be granted a royalty-free, non-exclusive patent license agreement for internal research use for the term of and within the field of use of the SBIR award to technologies held by NIH with the intent that the SBC will develop the invention into a commercial product to benefit the public.

Funding Opportunity PA-18-702 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the administrative supplement is to provide support for NIH-funded investigators to participate in an entrepreneurship training course, the Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation (C3i) Program. The C3i Program is designed to provide medical device innovators with the specialized business frameworks and essential tools for successful translation of biomedical technologies from the lab (concept) to the market (clinic). Through this program, the NIH fosters the development and commercialization of early-stage biomedical technologies by engaging investigators who are interested in better understanding the value of their innovation in addressing an unmet market need. The curriculum and customized mentoring provided by the C3i Program are intended to guide investigators as they assess the commercial viability and potential business opportunity for their innovation. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIH Scientific/Research staff for more information about the program before applying.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-700 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NIDCD Research Dissertation Fellowship for Au.D. Audiologists (F32) program is to support a comprehensive, rigorous biomedical research training, and dissertation research leading to a research doctorate (i.e., Ph.D.) in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-707 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is the rapid and efficient translation of innovative laboratory research findings into therapies, devices or other resources for use by clinicians to treat visual system diseases or disorders. Multidisciplinary teams of scientists and clinicians will focus on generating preclinical data that will lead to the development of biological interventions, such as gene therapy, cell-based therapy, pharmacological approaches, and/or medical devices. The ultimate goal of this program is to make technological, biological and pharmacological resources available to clinicians and their patients.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-706 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this FOA is to define and characterize neural cell populations, neural circuits, and brain networks and regions that are vulnerable to brain aging and Alzheimers disease (AD). Understanding mechanisms underlying selective vulnerability from cells to networks in AD is critical to fully define the disease process and to develop effective therapies.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-19-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA solicits applications proposing phased research projects, with transition milestones, to develop and rigorously test the effects of strategies to improve opioid treatment quality measures, both on changes in the measures themselves and on patient outcomes. The overall goal is to advance the field of clinical quality measurement and management in opioid use disorder treatment by generating research better aligning quality measurement with quality improvement.
Notice NOT-MH-18-027 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAS-18-698 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate HIV/AIDS research within the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) that addresses high priority HIV/AIDS research priorities outlined by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR). These priorities are described in NOT-OD-15-137: NIH HIV/AIDS Research Priorities and Guidelines for Determining AIDS Funding.
Notice NOT-MH-18-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-19-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. A major objective of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite SBIR applications to foster collaboration between clinical and bioengineering research communities to develop and test safe, accurate, and effective devices for use in neonatal, perinatal, and pediatric care settings. These can be new devices or improvements on existing devices. The studies may range from concept to developmental phases, with a clear commercialization plan to enable healthcare providers to use them in regular clinical care settings in the population, which is the focus of this FOA.
Notice NOT-NS-18-048 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PA-18-695 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages innovative basic and translational exploratory research into mechanisms of HIV transmission, persistence, pathogenesis and co-morbidities in the oral cavity.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-699 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages innovative basic and translational research into mechanisms of HIV transmission, persistence, pathogenesis and co-morbidities in the oral cavity.
