Exploratory Grant Award to Promote Workforce Diversity in Basic Cancer Research
This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is a continuation of an NCI program to enhance the diversity of the pool of the cancer research workforce by recruiting and supporting eligible New Investigators and Early Stage Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences. This NOFO will fund investigators to develop a larger research project grant application.
Resource Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) announcement is to support the development and maintenance of a Resource Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research through a cooperative agreement funding mechanism (U24). Such a Center will address challenges and barriers to conducting research on cannabis and its constituents as well as to enable researchers to successfully generate more rigorous scientific evidence across a variety of research domains in both basic and clinical research. The Center is expected to be a focal point for researchers entering the cannabis research space and to support the development and establishment of research tools and studies that will improve upon and eventually change the landscape of cannabis research. Overall, the Center will facilitate research advances through synergistic interactions among experts in relevant commercial, basic science, clinical, and regulatory areas both within the Center itself and in collaboration with the extramural community.
Development of Candidate Radiation/Nuclear Medical Countermeasures
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support investigator-initiated research at all stages of development that is specifically focused on the development of medical countermeasures (MCMs) to mitigate/treat injuries arising from radiation exposure during a public health emergency. This funding opportunity will support the development of novel approaches within the radiation research area that may be considered for future licensure by the FDA.
Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity
This funding opportunity seeks to support the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) Program. The CPACHE Program develops and maintains comprehensive, long-term, and mutually beneficial partnerships between institutions serving underserved health disparity populations and underrepresented students (ISUPSs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs). The program aims to achieve a stronger national cancer program and address challenges in cancer and cancer disparities research, education, and outreach, as well as cancer's impact on underserved populations.
The institutions in each partnership are expected to work collaboratively to: 1) increase the cancer research and cancer research education capacity of the ISUPSs; 2) promote the diversity of the cancer research workforce; 3) improve the effectiveness of CCs in developing and sustaining research programs focused on cancer health disparities and increase the number of investigators and students conducting cancer health disparities research; and 4) develop and implement cancer-related outreach and education initiatives that benefit the surrounding underserved communities.
BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales Data Coordinating Center
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits applications for one or more Data Coordinating Centers (DCCs) to support BRAIN CONNECTS, a networked consortium of Comprehensive Centers and Specialized Projects funded under RFA-NS-22-047, RFA-NS-22-048, and RFA-NS-22-049. The goals of BRAIN CONNECTS awards are to develop the research capacity and technical capabilities for comprehensive brain-wide connectivity mapping in mouse, human, and non-human primate (NHP). BRAIN CONNECTS projects will collect and process unprecedented volumes of anatomical data by scaling up cutting-edge acquisition modalities and analysis methods, to demonstrate the feasibility and potential impact of production, analysis, dissemination, and interpretation of connectivity maps from entire brains. The resulting feasibility data from these awards are expected to inform NIH decisions on program continuation in a potential subsequent five-year funding period for production of brain-wide wiring diagrams.
IND-enabling Studies for Platform Clinical Trials of Genome Editing in Multiple Diseases
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is developed as a Common Fund initiative through the NIH Office of the NIH Director, Office of Strategic Coordination. All NIH Institutes and Centers participate in Common Fund initiatives. The NOFO will be administered by the National Center for Advancing Translational Science, (NCATS/NIH) on behalf of the NIH.
Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The DDRCCs are part of an integrated program of digestive and liver diseases research support provided by the NIDDK. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators as a means to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases within the NIDDK's mission. DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of the NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding.
