Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-18-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage basic or clinical research applications that investigate central neural mechanisms of age-related hearing loss in older adults and/or in relevant animal models. This FOA is driven by the need to address a major gap in our understanding of the central pathways and neural networks that are involved in hearing loss and how these may be altered in the context of the aging brain, as well as how natural aging influences central auditory plasticity.
Notice NOT-GM-17-013 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-18-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications from U.S. institutions to support Research Units (RUs) within the Global Network for Womens and Childrens Health Research at NICHD. RUs will consist of U.S.-based research centers applying in partnership with research centers in low income countries as defined by the World Bank. The RUs within the Global Network will participate in addressing the major causes of maternal, neonatal, infant, and early childhood morbidity and mortality through the conduct of clinical research. The grantees will become part of a cooperative network in scientific partnership with the NIH to conduct multi-enter observational studies and randomized clinical trials evaluating disease process, health and wellness outcomes, and results from interventions in resource-poor settings.
Notice NOT-TR-17-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-EY-17-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. A central goal of the BRAIN Initiative is to understand how electrical and chemical signals code information in neural circuits and give rise to sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions. While currently available technologies can provide some understanding, they may not be sufficient to accomplish this goal. For example, non-invasive technologies are low resolution and/or provide indirect measures such as blood flow, which are imprecise; invasive technologies can provide information at the level of single neurons producing the fundamental biophysical signals, but they can only be applied to tens or hundreds of neurons, out of a total number in the human brain estimated at 85 billion.
Notice NOT-DA-17-046 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-DA-17-047 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-DA-17-048 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HG-17-011 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The scope of this FOA is to establish the NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, Informatics Lab-space ("AnVIL") in support of genomic research. The AnVIL aims to create an interoperable resource for the research community by co-locating data, storage and computing infrastructure with commonly used services and tools for analyzing and sharing data. The AnVIL will further advance research by leveraging a cloud-based infrastructure to facilitate genomic data access by the broad scientific community, integration and computing on and across large datasets generated by NHGRI programs, or programs funded by others in support of human genomics research.
Notice NOT-MH-17-036 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-18-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support investigators performing research to identify the barriers and facilitators to implementation of an evidence-based practice(s) for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) diseases in the inpatient setting. NHLBI is seeking applications that will utilize an implementation research framework to develop an implementation strategy (or strategies) to be tested during a subsequent hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. During this grant, investigators will measure the baseline or usual care practice with respect to the evidence-based practice(s) of interest and plan for the subsequent trial. This FOA intends to support applications that propose a multidisciplinary research team that includes both inpatient clinical research expertise and implementation research expertise. At the conclusion of this U01, awardees and other qualified applicants may be ready to apply to a separate NHLBI-funded FOA, described in NOT-HL-17-493, to support the trial.
Notice NOT-HS-17-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-18-012 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to develop a technology/device that objectively indicates the presence and level of pain.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-18-013 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to develop a technology/device that objectively indicates the presence and level of pain.
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-18-019 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this initiative is to support Phase 2 clinical trials to develop and test strategies to increase the utilization of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in eligible patients. The objectives are to test novel promising approaches to increase use of CR and PR overall, to reduce disparities in their utilization, and to document improvement in key clinical and patient-centered outcomes from CR and PR performed in either traditional or non-traditional settings. Investigators with expertise in the areas of CR, PR, and implementation science should consider applying for this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Collaborative investigations combining expertise in telehealth, internet-based interventions, behavioral modification, and other novel techniques for health-related interventions are encouraged.
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-18-021 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to establish a program which will provide support for the collaborative efforts of oncologists and coagulation/vascular experts to identify, further develop, and implement advances in thrombosis and hemostasis research into practice for cancer patients.
