NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity PA-24-255 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hereby notify Small Business Concerns (SBCs) holding Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants that funds are available for administrative supplements to improve the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting students, postdoctoral scholars, and eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in health-related research or in the SBIR and STTR programs. This supplement opportunity is also available to PD(s)/PI(s) of research grants who are or become disabled and need additional support to accommodate their disability in order to continue to work on the research project. Administrative supplements must support work within the scope of the original project. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this NOFO are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

Funding Opportunity RFA-HS-24-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This NOFO invites applications to establish and support State-based Healthcare Extension Cooperatives (referred to as Cooperatives) to conduct an initiative that is based on PCOR evidence to improve care for medically underserved people; the initiative's focus must be on behavioral healthcare. To support this initiative, the Cooperative will (1) engage key stakeholders including Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations, and other organizations that address the health needs of people who are medically underserved in identifying and addressing barriers and facilitators to implementing patient-centered healthcare delivery improvements that are based on PCOR evidence, (2) work with healthcare policy, payment, community, care delivery, and research organizations that serve people who are medically underserved to build their capacity to implement patient-centered healthcare delivery improvements based on PCOR evidence, and to support ongoing learning, (3) conduct evaluations of the Cooperative's activities and (4) provide the support structure to ensure these activities are integrated and aligned.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-25-032 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) promotes collaborative research programs to support innovative and sustainable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) (including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), vascular cognitive impairment/dementia (VCID), and mixed etiology dementias (MEDs)) neuroscience research for experienced investigators in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These collaborative research programs are expected to contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable AD/ADRD neuroscience capacity and research, ultimately leading to prevention and mitigation strategies for AD/ADRD in LMICs. This NOFO will support applications submitted from LMIC institutions. LMIC scientists are expected to collaborate with scientists from the United States. Income categories for LMICs are defined by the World Bank athttp://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-25-031 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will support junior faculty investigators involved in aging and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-related dementia (ADRD) research from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank. This NOFO will support proposals submitted from LMIC institutions. and through this NOFO, NIA will: (1) Support junior investigators from LMICs to conduct aging, AD and/or ADRD research in their respective LMICs; and (2) Support the career development of junior faculty investigators as future leaders in aging, AD and/or ADRD research from LMICs. In support of the program's goal, this NOFO invites applications that will yield pilot data, resources and experience for subsequent aging, AD and/or ADRD research projects. In addition, candidates are encouraged to seek out a supportive research environment that will achieve the goal of fostering the career development of junior investigators.
Funding Opportunity PAR-24-291 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic, mechanistic research into the biological/genetic causes of cancer health disparities. These research project grants will support innovative studies designed to investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer health disparities, such as (1) mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer health disparities, including those related to basic research in cancer biology or cancer prevention strategies, (2) the development and testing of new methodologies and models, and (3) secondary data analyses. This NOFO is also designed to aid and facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research who can expand available resources and tools, such as biospecimens, patient derived models, and methods that are necessary to conduct basic research in cancer health disparities.
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-044 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for support of investigator-initiated studies addressing mechanisms by which bariatric surgery impacts cancer risk, and seeks to draw in talented scientists who study bariatric surgery to investigate its effects on cancer, rather than shorter term outcomes such as weight loss and diabetes. The goal of this NOFO is to support proof of concept studies for feasibility and exploratory development. Feasibility must not have already been developed in the literature or with preliminary data. While unpublished data are not permitted, references and data from widely available preprints that have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) are acceptable. Investigators who have generated unpublished preliminary data should submit a proposal to companion R01.
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-043 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for support of investigator-initiated studies addressing mechanisms by which bariatric surgery impacts cancer risk, and seeks to draw in talented scientists who study bariatric surgery to investigate its effects on cancer, rather than shorter-term outcomes such as weight loss and diabetes.

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-271 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to promote diversity in the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), including frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and vascular dementia. This pathway to independence award will support early career investigators from diverse backgrounds to gain critical translational research skills that they can apply to various aspects of AD/ADRD research (from populations studies to research that can lead to new treatments and diagnostics, including all aspects of behavioral and social research). This program will support highly trained translational researchers as they transition to research independence in the field of AD/ADRD . The long-term goal of this program is to exand the pool of translational researchers who can effectively participate in and/or lead a team-science, interdisciplinary approach to studies of AD/ADRD treatment, prevention, early detection, and disease management and care. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial. Under this NOFO candidates are permitted to propose a research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
