NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Notice NOT-AG-24-014 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-OD-24-090 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-24-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support research to identify and characterize the interaction between hormone therapy and antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) used for treatment and prevention of HIV and co-infections.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-24-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support investigators who will form large, electronically-generated cohorts in Latin America of HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender women (TGW), people who inject drugs (PWID), and/or female sex-workers and follow them to study the epidemiology of HIV incidence. Continued follow-up of those persons who acquire HIV will be required to study the epidemiology of viral suppression. Comparisons of participants by seroconverstion status will provide information on geographic and socially defined areas of high HIV incidence as well as on both personal and structural vulnerabilities to HIV infection. Among participants who seroconvert, comparisons of those becoming rapidly engaged in care and who reach non-detectable HIV levels to those whose virus remains detectable will inform on the treatment of HIV in Latin American countries. This NOFO will allow digital trials to determine optimal study approaches, or to pilot evidence-based digital (mHealth and online) HIV prevention and treatment interventions to both reduce HIV incidence and improve treatment in the most vulnerable populations.
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-24-034 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Alzheimers Disease-Related Dementia (ADRD) initiative is to promote the development and distribution of innovative technologies, methods, protocols, and biomedical materials that enhance combined human neuropathology and neuroimaging research with data aimed at understanding the underlying pathophysiology of in vivo imaging results typically associated with vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in TBI-related dementia and other ADRD diagnoses. Resources developed under this FOA must follow open data sharing practices and are intended to expand the broader research communitys capacity to perform research aimed at neuropathologically-informed understanding of the vascular pathophysiology of clinically-relevant, in vivo neuroimaging findings.
Notice NOT-DK-24-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-OD-24-092 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-OD-24-091 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-24-138 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program is to: Strengthen research training environments, and Promote broader participation in the biomedical research workforce by expanding the pool of well-trained scientists (for example, encouraging the inclusion of individuals from underrepresented groups) who: Complete their baccalaureate degree, and Transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs (such as Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.). Specifically, this funding announcement provides support to eligible, domesticorganizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical undergraduate training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. This program is limited to applications from baccalaureate degree-granting research-intensive organizations (that is, those with NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding averaging greater than or equal to $7.5 million in total costs (direct and F and A/indirect) per year over the last three fiscal years (FY)).
Funding Opportunity PAR-24-137 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) program is to develop a diverse pool of undergraduates who complete their baccalaureate degree, and transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D). This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-based approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements to prepare trainees for the completion of research-focused higher degree programs in biomedical fields. This program is limited to applications from training programs at research-active institutions (i.e., those with a 3-year average of NIH Research Project Grant funding less than $7.5 million total costs).
Notice NOT-OD-24-077 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-24-169 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This notice of opportunity announcement (NOFO) is issued by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to enable submission of program project grant applications that propose to conduct innovative, interactive research to answer significant scientific questions that are important for the mission of NINDS, via a synergistic collaboration between outstanding scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent highly meritorious projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual research grants.
Notice NOT-HG-24-027 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-HD-24-014 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-24-008 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support product-focused research to advance controlled release vaccine strategies to improve immune responses for HIV prevention, treatment, and cure and develop simplified or single-shot vaccination formulations. Timelines with measurable milestones are required.
Notice NOT-DE-24-021 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-24-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support the evaluation of early-stage diagnostics and novel diagnostic strategies for Tuberculosis (TB) in the context of existing clinical algorithms in TB endemic countries. Evaluation studies should: 1) perform proof-of principle studies of novel diagnostic tests and strategies for TB, including among people living with HIV (PLWH) and 2) provide feedback to diagnostic developers and policy makers on the performance of the technologies and most effective strategies for use of the diagnostic technologies in an endemic setting.
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-24-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the U54 CHD-MH SPORE Program is to fund a network of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional translational research SPOREs uniquely focused on 1) health disparities and/or minority health research and 2) the development of novel-cancer relevant interventions in underserved populations with cancer or at risk for cancer.
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-24-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications for Research Centers (RC) to support the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) Network. The CREID network serves to expand knowledge on re-emerging and emerging infectious diseases (re/EIDs) around the globe where outbreaks are most likely to occur. Multi- and inter-disciplinary teams of domestic and international investigators will conduct innovative, collaborative One Health (approach that recognizes the health of humans is interconnected with that of animal health and the shared environment) based research projects and will mount a rapid and effective research response to outbreaks through coordination, collaboration, and cooperation across the CREID Network.
