NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-17-024 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research that examines the optimization of multiple components of the care continuum, such as HIV testing (identification) status, linkage and retention in care, and viral suppression for individuals with HIV for substance abusing populations at high-risk and/or living with HIV. There is limited evidence for how strategies that are successful in targeting one part of the HIV care cascade (linkage to care) can be integrated with interventions for other behaviors (ART adherence, retention in care). Moreover, the need to understand how government policies related to financing and clinical recommendations affect care, along with professional norms and the policies and guidelines established within individual clinics or organized systems of care effect the care continuum and HIV clinical outcomes, are critical. This FOA requires that applications include an examination beyond patient-level outcomes alone to include provider practices, system or organizational capacities, policies, and protocols; and structural issues including national, state/provincial or local policies that affect access to substance use and/or HIV care.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-068 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) program is designed to provide structured training programs to prepare high-achieving, underrepresented students for doctoral programs in biomedical research fields. Programmatic activities should include authentic research experiences, academic enhancements, skills development, and mentoring. The long-term goal of the program is to enhance the pool of underrepresented students earning baccalaureate and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical research fields and ultimately to contribute to the diversification of the nation's scientific workforce.

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-069 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NCI Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity program is to assist a postdoctoral fellow's transition to positions of assistant professor or equivalent and initiate a successful biomedical career as an independent research scientist. To this end, the Diversity Training Branch (DTB), the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) (http://crchd.cancer.gov/) invites applications from research scientists in postdoctoral positions or equivalent who are from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and/or social sciences. This award will provide "protected time" through salary and research support for 3 years for recipients to develop and receive support for their initial cancer research program.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-16-086 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support pilot clinical trials that test interventions to limit or reduce HIV-1 reservoirs in children (birth to 18 years of age at the time of enrollment) on effective suppressive antiretroviral therapy.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-17-063 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to promote the development of an interdisciplinary workforce to conduct research on Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias. This FOA will support institutional training programs for predoctoral and postdoctoral level researchers with backgrounds in biology, data sciences and traditional and emerging pharmaceutical science. The program will provide trainees with the knowledge and skills to participate in a team-based approach to solving data-intensive biomedical problems in basic research and therapy development for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-16-505 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites an application from the Program Director/Principal Investigator of the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) that is currently supporting the research being performed by the complex and effective Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet network. This FOA will support the design and conduct of new-onset trials (as selected by the TrialNet Steering Committee) aimed at preservation of insulin-producing cells in individuals with new-onset diabetes. The DCC will support a wide range of research projects in varying stages of development, implementation and completion. The DCC will provide for data and sample management, including standardized acquisition, quality control, dissemination, and public accessibility.
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-066 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to NIA's Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)) program for research focusing on the development of innovative technologies in the clinical care and management of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's-disease-related dementias (ADRD).
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-067 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to NIA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for research focusing on the development of innovative technologies in the clinical care and management of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's-disease-related dementias (ADRD).
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-17-016 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to invite research applications proposing to investigate the clinical, imaging, or physiological characteristics of subjects with dementia and parkinsonism (Lewy Body Dementia) using previously-collected data available in the Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)/National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) and/or the Parkinsons Disease Biomarker Program (PDBP) databases. Research should focus on identifying clinical or biological attributes that could serve to 1) lead to early diagnosis, 2) improve differential diagnosis, and/or 3) lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets. Applicants must propose to use data in at least one of the ADNI or PDBP databases, but may include the use of other previously-collected data if such data is scientifically relevant and of comparable quality. Applicants are not expected or encouraged to collect new data.
Funding Opportunity PAS-17-065 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to NIA's Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR)program to conduct research leading to the development of innovative products and/or services that may advance progress in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's-disease-related dementias (ADRD) and/or caring for and treating AD/ADRD patients.
