NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-133 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose the complete planning, design, and preparation of the documentation necessary for implementation of investigator-initiated clinical trials. The application should propose the developmental work to be performed that would enhance the probability of reaching definitive outcomes in a clinical trial.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-137 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications focused on 1) advancing understanding of mechanisms by which mental health affects HIV prevention and treatment in order to identify modifiable intervention targets; and 2) developing and pilot testing expanded interventions to improve both mental health and HIV outcomes along the entire HIV care continuum (from HIV testing to viral suppression). PA-17-NNN uses the R01 grant mechanism while PA-17-NN uses the R21 mechanism. High risk/high payoff projects that lack preliminary data or utilize existing data may be most appropriate for the R21 mechanism, while applicants with preliminary data and/or include longitudinal analysis may wish to apply using the R01 mechanism.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-136 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications focused on 1) advancing understanding of mechanisms by which mental health affects HIV prevention and treatment in order to identify modifiable intervention targets; and 2) developing and testing expanded interventions to improve both mental health and HIV outcomes along the entire HIV care continuum (from HIV testing to viral suppression). PA-17-136 uses the R01 grant mechanism while PA-17-137 uses the R21 mechanism.

Funding Opportunity PA-17-134 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to conduct research on the effects of public policies on health-related behaviors and outcomes associated with alcohol, marijuana, and other substances. The purpose of the FOA is to advance understanding of how public policy may serve as a tool for improving public health and welfare through its effects on behaviors and outcomes pertaining to alcohol and other drugs. This FOA is intended to support innovative research to examine policy effects that have the potential to lead to meaningful changes in public health. Research projects that may be supported by this FOA include, but are not necessarily limited to: causal analyses of the effects of one or multiple public policies; evaluations of the effectiveness of specific public policies as tools for improving public health through their effects on alcohol-, marijuana-, and other substance-related behaviors and outcomes; and research to advance methods and measurement used in studying relationships between public policies and alcohol-, marijuana-, and other substance-related behaviors and outcomes. The R03 Small Research Grant Program supports discrete, well-defined projects that realistically can be completed in two years and that require limited levels of funding. This program supports different types of projects including (but not limited to) pilot or feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; and development of research methodology.

Funding Opportunity PA-17-131 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support lead optimization and preclinical development of new therapies for diseases within the mission of the NIDDK with the STTR program. STTR Phase I projects under this FOA support preliminary steps in the process for lead optimization or preclinical development of therapeutics. STTR Phase II supports lead optimization and preclinical development of lead candidates, and projects must be sufficiently advanced such that an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be submitted by the end of a STTR Phase II or IIB project. Applications are expected to have defined Milestones and Timelines detailing how the project will move forward with identified key Go / No Go decision points.
Funding Opportunity PA-17-130 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support lead optimization and preclinical development of new therapies for diseases within the mission of the NIDDK with the SBIR program. SBIR Phase I projects under this FOA supportpreliminary steps in the process for lead optimization or preclinical development of therapeutics. SBIR Phase II supports lead optimization and preclinical development of lead candidates, and projects must be sufficiently advanced such that an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be submitted by the end of a SBIR Phase II or IIB project.

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-129 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide a mechanism of support to research organizations interested in clinically translating already optimized quantitative imaging software tools capable of measuring or predicting the response of cancer to clinical therapies, or in translating imaging tools for planning and validating radiation therapy treatment strategies in clinical trials. The quantitative tools must have been developed and optimized during a performance period in the Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN) or under other separate funding. The proposed research effort should be an extension of the research that successfully completed the tasks of developing and optimizing the chosen software tools or data collection methods intended to facilitate clinical decision making during clinical trials. This FOA is intended to support the efforts of validating those tools in prospective multisite clinical trials in order to test tool performance and to demonstrate that the tool can be integrated into clinical workflow with a minimum of disruption.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-128 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research project applications under the cooperative agreement (UG3/UH3) mechanism to address the development, optimization and validation of quantitative imaging (QI) software tools and methods for prediction and/or measurement of response to cancer therapies or for planning and validating radiation therapy treatment strategies in clinical trials.
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-17-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NINDS Research Program Award (RPA) is to provide longer-term support and increased flexibility to Program Directors (PDs) /Principal Investigators (PIs) whose outstanding records of research achievement demonstrate their ability to make major contributions to neuroscience. RPAs will support the overall research programs of NINDS-funded investigators for up to 8 years, at a level commensurate with a PD/PIs recent NINDS support (Part 2, Section II) This greater funding stability will provide investigators with increased freedom and flexibility which may allow them to be more adventurous in their research, to take greater risks, to embark upon research that breaks new ground, to undertake research projects that require a longer timeframe, and/or to extend previous discoveries in new directions. Research supported through the RPA must be within the scope of the NINDS mission (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/about_ninds/mission.htm). Research activities outside of the NINDS mission, or traditionally supported by another NIH Institute or Center will not be considered through this program.
