NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PA-17-115 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research to improve self-management and quality of life in children and adolescents with chronic conditions. Managing a chronic condition is an unremitting responsibility for children and their families. Children with a chronic condition and their families have a long-term responsibility for self-management. This FOA encourages research that takes into consideration various factors that influence self-management such as individual differences, biological and psychological factors, family/caregivers and sociocultural context, family-community dynamics, healthcare system factors, technological advances, and the role of the environment.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-107 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) FOA is to encourage small businesses and their research partners to develop assistive robotics and related technology that would enhance health and reduce illness and disability in older Americans suffering from Alzheimer's Disease (AD), AD-related dementias (ADRD), and other comorbidities. In addition, this FOA encourages small businesses and their research partners to develop assistive robotics addressing the needs and conditions of caregivers to older Americans suffering from AD and ADRD.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-108 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) FOA is to encourage small businesses to develop assistive robotics and related technology that would enhance health and reduce illness and disability in older Americans suffering from Alzheimer's Disease (AD), AD-related dementias (ADRD), and other comorbidities. In addition, this FOA encourages small businesses to develop assistive robotics addressing the needs and conditions of caregivers to older Americans suffering from AD and ADRD.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-117 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative encourages research that targets the reduction of health disparities among children. Investing in early childhood development is essential. Specific targeted areas of research include bio-behavioral studies that incorporate multiple factors that influence child health disparities such as biological (e.g., genetics, cellular, organ systems), lifestyle factors, environmental (e.g., physical and family environments) social (e.g., peers), economic, institutional, and cultural and family influences; studies that target the specific health promotion needs of children with a known health condition and/or disability; and studies that test, evaluate, translate, and disseminate health promotion prevention and interventions conducted in traditional and non -traditional settings

Funding Opportunity PA-17-112 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Long-term misuse and chronic exposure to abused substances can produce widespread changes in brain structure and function. Although much progress has been made, additional research is still needed to identify the neurobiological changes that result from substance use, and how these changes contribute to substance use disorders. The overarching goals of the research areas described in this FOA are to understand the neurobiological mechanisms underlying substance use disorders, with special emphasis on identifying changes and neuroadaptations that occur during dependence, withdrawal, and relapse to chronic substance use. An understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying substance use disorders can help to identify targets for prevention and treatment interventions. Research utilizing basic, translational, or clinical approaches is appropriate.

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-121 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. NIDA Core Center of Excellence Grants (P30) are intended to bring together investigators currently funded by NIH or other Federal or non-Federal sources, to enhance the effectiveness of existing research and also to extend the focus of research to drug abuse and addiction. It is expected that a Center will transform knowledge in the sciences it is studying. Incremental work should not be the focus of Center activities; rather, new and creative directions are encouraged. An application should integrate and promote research in existing funded projects, to achieve new and creative directions. It is expected that individual core activities reflect a relationship to the integrating theme of the Center and the Center is expected to provide research opportunities and experiences to new investigators, and share findings, data and their resources, consistent with achieving the goals of the program.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-103 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages behavioral, social, and implementation science research designed to (a) identify gaps in the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum and associated determinants; (b) develop and test interventions to strengthen PrEP delivery, use, and outcomes; and (c) reduce racial/ethnic and age-related disparities in PrEP uptake and use.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-104 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits behavioral, social, and implementation science research designed to (a) identify gaps in the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum and associated determinants; (b) develop and test interventions to strengthen PrEP delivery, use, and outcomes; and (c) reduce racial/ethnic and age-related disparities in PrEP uptake and use.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-109 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote research on interventions, based in healthcare settings, designed to reduce overscreening for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancers among average-risk older adults. While ongoing efforts to promote screening have been successful, there is growing concern that these tests may be overused, thereby subjecting adults to unnecessary risks. Overscreening older adults may be driven by factors at the individual, healthcare team, healthcare system and community organization levels. Therefore, research is needed both to understand the factors that drive overuse and to develop and test interventions that will reduce overuse in healthcare delivery systems. Research supported by this FOA should propose to intervene at two or more levels, and should measure outcomes at two or more levels, while accounting for interactions that occur between levels. Research supported by this FOA should enhance knowledge and consequences of overscreening to improve the health, independence, and quality of life of older adults. adults.

Funding Opportunity PA-17-114 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support multidisciplinary, hypothesis-driven research on Natural Killer (NK) cells, leading to the discovery of pathways relevant for early immune responses and immune regulation impacting the potential protective immunity to be induced by HIV vaccination. Secondary objectives include the development of novel technologies to allow for more definitive studies of human immune monitoring in the context of vaccine clinical trials and the recruitment of innate immunologists to the HIV vaccine field.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-113 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate and support investigator-driven collaborative research to: 1) probe how vaccine-elicited antibodies protect against viral acquisition via Fc receptor (FCR)-mediated mechanisms; and 2) determine the functional profiles of Fc receptor engagement in the context of immune responses elicited by protective vaccines, to inform advancement of similarly promising HIV vaccine candidates.
