NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Notice NOT-OD-17-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-17-061 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement invites comprehensive, cross-disciplinary studies aimed at building predictive molecular models of cognitive resilience based on high-dimensional molecular data collected in individuals who remain free of dementia despite being at high risk for Alzheimers disease.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-048 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support interdisciplinary research collaborations to study and optimize approaches using phylodynamic analyses of HIV genotyping databases to monitor HIV transmission networks in near real-time. The long-range goal is to leverage existing databases and support innovations in HIV phylodynamics to better inform testing, treatment, and prevention efforts.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-049 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of NCI-funded cancer research. This FOA is specifically for laboratory-based scientists.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-050 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of NCI-funded cancer research. This FOA is specifically for core/shared resource/central scientific support scientists.

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-047 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-TR-16-021 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for a Coordination Center (CC) that will support activities of the Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program. The CTSA Program supports high quality translational and clinical research locally, regionally and nationally and fosters innovation in research methods, informatics, training, and career development. The CTSA Program is evolving into an innovative national consortium of medical research institutions that comprises hubs working together to support translational science and improve the research process in order to get more treatments to more patients more quickly. It is expected that the CTSA Program CC will facilitate collaboration and consortium activities. Specifically, the CTSA Program CC will be responsible for providing an environment of excellence, developing and applying innovative approaches to collection, analysis, use and sharing of various types of data for strategic management of the CTSA Program, and creating an effective collaboration, coordination, and communication infrastructure to support scientific, training, governance, workgroup, and other types of consortium activities within the CTSA Program.
Notice NOT-HS-17-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-MH-17-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-17-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NIH Blueprint Diversity Specialized Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Advancement in Neuroscience (D-SPAN) Award is to support a defined pathway across career stages for outstanding graduate students who are from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research. This two-phase award will facilitate completion of the doctoral dissertation and transition of talented graduate students to strong neuroscience research postdoctoral positions, and will provide career development opportunities relevant to their long-term career goal of becoming independent neuroscience researchers.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-045 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative will support projects that focus solely on development of technologies with the potential to enable biomedical research. Projects should be justified in terms of potential biomedical impact, but should not include any application to specific biomedical research questions.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-046 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative will support exploratory research leading to the development of innovative technologies for biomedical research. The program will recognize and reward high risk approaches with potential for significant impact. Projects will entail a high degree of risk or novelty, which will be offset by a correspondingly high potential impact. However, the possible impact is likely to be far off. Application of the proposed technology to specific biomedical questions is considered beyond the scope of the program, and should not be included. Preliminary data demonstrating feasibility of the proposed approach indicates that the project is beyond the scope of this program and therefore unsuitable for this funding opportunity.
