Grants for Special District Governments

Reissue of RFA-MH-20-128 This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications to develop standards that describe experimental protocols that are being conducted as part of the BRAIN Initiative. It is expected that applications will solicit community input at all stages of the process. It is recommended that the first step of standard development will involve sharing data between different key groups in the experimental community in order to ensure that the developing standard will cover the way that all of those groups are collecting data. The developed standard is expected to be made widely available.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research into new risk factors for liver cancer, particularly focusing on non-viral causes and their interactions with established risks, aimed at improving prevention strategies in the U.S. population.

This funding opportunity supports researchers investigating new and existing risk factors for liver cancer, focusing on population-based studies to improve understanding and prevention of the disease in the U.S.

This grant provides funding for researchers and institutions to develop advanced tissue-engineered models that better mimic cancer biology, aiming to improve understanding and treatment of various cancer types.

This funding opportunity supports postdoctoral researchers transitioning to independent faculty positions in biomedical sciences, providing financial assistance to help them establish their own research programs.

This funding opportunity supports innovative bioengineering projects that aim to improve healthcare solutions and research methods, particularly in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and accessibility.

This funding opportunity supports innovative engineering research aimed at developing new technologies or improving existing solutions to enhance biomedical research, clinical care, and accessibility.

This initiative will support innovative, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary research designed to study the effective adaptation, integration, and implementation of recommended guidelines of care of persons with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) from populations that experience health disparities. Projects would be expected to involve more than one component and/or more than one level of influence within existing or newly proposed health care models. The ultimate goal of this initiative is attainment of optimal treatment and health outcomes goals in order to move towards health equity.

This funding opportunity is designed to support small-scale research projects at health professional and graduate schools that have limited NIH funding, helping to enhance research capabilities and engage students in meaningful research experiences.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in analyzing existing data to advance understanding of substance use behaviors and disorders, particularly focusing on innovative approaches and diverse populations.

This grant provides funding for dentists in NIH postdoctoral research positions to transition to independent research roles at academic institutions, supporting their development as new investigators.

The "NIA Renewal and Competing Revision Cooperative Agreements in Aging Research" grant is a funding opportunity for the renewal and revision of existing U01 research projects related to aging, including areas such as genetics, biology, neuroscience, clinical studies, and Alzheimer's disease, with the requirement that applicants integrate their systems with the Clinical Research Operations Management System (CROMS) for data management.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in discovering and validating new targets for developing safe and effective pain treatments with minimal side effects and low addiction risk.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects focused on understanding and advancing treatments for nonmalignant blood disorders, encouraging collaboration and involvement from new researchers in the field.

This grant provides funding for research projects that explore family health and resilience, particularly focusing on populations experiencing health disparities in the U.S., to develop interventions that improve family well-being.

This grant provides funding for experienced researchers to enhance their skills in patient-centered outcomes research, enabling them to conduct impactful studies that improve healthcare delivery and address health disparities.

This grant provides funding for research centers focused on improving the safety and health of workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing through evidence-based solutions and community outreach.

This grant provides funding for interdisciplinary research teams to explore the neural and behavioral aspects of benign urological conditions, aiming to improve understanding and treatment of these diseases.

This funding opportunity supports innovative, interdisciplinary research projects that aim to fill critical knowledge gaps and advance scientific understanding in areas related to kidney, diabetes, and digestive diseases.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for support of national or regional resources that will provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technologies, research tools, software, and/or service to a substantial user base at institutions across multiple states (regional) or the country (national). These resources should already be established, although new resources formed through consolidation of multiple local or regional facilities are also eligible. They should be poised to achieve or already have achieved significant economies of scale and should be able to significantly increase access to the supported technologies or services for researchers across one or more regions or the country. Major new research and development efforts should not be included. For this FOA, a resource is defined as an activity that provides research capabilities and expertise to a large number of investigators and is available to any qualified investigator as a service. The intent is to provide access to investigators without regard to the particular biomedical focus of their research, but not to duplicate or replace resources supported by other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) or host institutions. Only those resources whose technical capabilities fall within the program areas supported by NIGMS will be supported. It is expected that the resource will be maintained or upgraded to current best practices, make its capability and availability known to the biomedical research community through outreach activities, and provide user training and support. Stand-alone data resources and databases are not eligible for funding through this FOA. This FOA is limited to applications requesting support for resources that have been developed through previous NIGMS funding.
