The "Modulating Human Microbiome Function to Enhance Immune Responses Against Cancer" grant aims to fund preliminary research into how the human microbiome affects the body's immune response to cancer, with a focus on how specific microbes or their byproducts can either increase or prevent tumor formation, and how the amount, timing, and duration of beneficial microbes can impact their effectiveness.

This grant provides funding for researchers to explore how the human microbiome influences immune responses to prevent cancer, aiming to identify new strategies for cancer prevention.

This grant provides funding for researchers to develop and validate new diagnostic tools and treatment measures for Functional Neurological Disorders, aiming to improve clinical trial readiness and patient care.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for Training Project Grants (TPGs) that are focused on occupational safety and health training. NIOSH is mandated to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the TPGs are one of the principal means for meeting this mandate. The majority of TPGs are in academic institutions that provide high quality training in the core occupational safety and health disciplines of industrial hygiene (IH), occupational health nursing (OHN), occupational medicine residency (OMR), occupational safety (OS), as well as allied disciplines. NIOSH also funds non-academic programs to meet specific training needs of targeted populations including firefighters, commercial fishermen and occupational health and safety interns.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support extramural research to investigate and mitigate challenges facing clinical assay development and subsequent analytical validation due to preanalytical variability in tumor tissue biopsies, blood biospecimens utilized as liquid biopsies", or other biospecimens as described in this FOA. Extramural research funded under this FOA may include investigations of preanalytical variability associated with the procurement and study of small biopsies (core biopsies, small excision samples), blood utilized for "liquid biopsies", tissue swabs, tissue secretions, pleural and esophageal aspirates, feces, or bodily fluids like sweat, urine, CSF, breast milk and saliva. Investigator-designed experiments will explore how different biospecimen preanalytical conditions affect emerging and clinically relevant biomarkers quantified by a variety of testing platforms. The results from this research program will improve the understanding of how analytical quantification of clinically relevant biomarkers is affected by variation in biospecimen collection, processing, and storage procedures. The overall goal is to expedite biomarker clinical assay development through evidence-based standardization of biopsy handling practices.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research projects aimed at improving antibiotic use and reducing antibiotic resistance in healthcare settings, particularly in long-term care and outpatient environments.

This funding opportunity supports large-scale research projects aimed at combating antibiotic-resistant infections in various healthcare settings, targeting institutions and organizations dedicated to improving public health and patient safety.

The "Neuromodulation/Neurostimulation Device Development for Mental Health Applications" grant aims to fund the development of innovative brain stimulation devices or significant hardware/software enhancements to existing FDA-approved devices, with a focus on improving precision and delivery, for the treatment of mental health disorders.

The "Exploratory Grants in Cancer Control" is a funding opportunity aimed at supporting early-stage research projects that focus on understanding and controlling cancer through behavior modification, screening, and the development of innovative techniques or methodologies that could significantly impact the field of cancer research.

This grant provides funding for innovative teams to develop or significantly enhance neuromodulation devices aimed at improving treatments for mental health disorders.
