This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 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 disparities, such as (1) mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer 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 FOA 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.

This grant provides funding to support the career development of underrepresented clinical scientists in cancer research, helping them gain the skills and experience needed to advance in their field.

This funding opportunity provides substantial financial support to higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations to establish collaborative centers that advance research and resources for HIV/AIDS.

Grant Title: Co-infection and Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) - This grant aims to improve our understanding of how co-infections (excluding HIV) contribute to cancer, particularly in under-studied populations, to identify new prevention and treatment strategies.

This grant provides funding for researchers to conduct innovative analyses of existing data to better understand substance use disorders and related behaviors, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations and the effectiveness of interventions.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for small-scale research projects that investigate the ethical, legal, and social challenges arising from advancements in human genetic and genomic research.

This grant provides funding to specialized cancer research centers to incorporate innovative technologies developed by the NCI, aiming to enhance cancer prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects that aim to improve the use of genomic information in clinical care, particularly for diverse populations, with a focus on health outcomes and addressing disparities.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is offering a grant ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to municipalities in New York for the adoption of zero-emission vehicles and installation of electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fuel filling stations, with a total of $750,000 available in the seventh round of the Municipal ZEV Rebate Program.

Substance use needs to be better incorporated into interventions for the engagement and retention of sexual minority persons in prevention and care with attention to emergent interventions such as long-acting PrEP. Social determinants of health associated with HIV and problematic substance use such as homelessness and criminal justice involvement also demonstrate disproportionate impact among sexual and gender minorities and need attention. Changing self-definition of sexual minority status has implications for outreach and provider stigma and needs to be better integrated into interventions. This initiative will address these gap areas and support epidemiologic, intervention, and implementation research that incorporates attention to HIV as a syndemic including comorbidities such as STIs, HCV, and psychiatric disorder.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in analyzing and integrating existing data to better understand cancer risks and outcomes, ultimately advancing cancer research and treatment strategies.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) hereby notify recipient organizations holding specific types of NIH grants, listed in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), that applications for change of recipient organization may be submitted to this FOA. This assumes such a change is programmatically permitted for the particular grant. Applications for change of recipient organization are considered prior approval requests (as described in Section 8.1.2.7 of the NIH Grants Policy Statement) and will be routed for consideration directly to the Grants Management Specialist named in the current award. Although requests for change of recipient organization may be submitted through this FOA, there is no guarantee that an award will be transferred to the new organization. All applicants are encouraged to discuss potential requests with the awarding IC before submission.

This funding opportunity supports small-scale brain imaging research related to substance use and addiction, aimed at helping both new and established researchers develop innovative studies that enhance our understanding of neurobiological mechanisms in these areas.

This grant provides funding for innovative and high-risk technology development projects in biomedical research that are in the early exploratory stages and have not yet been proven feasible.

This grant provides funding for innovative and high-risk research projects in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical fields, aimed at early-stage ideas that could lead to significant advancements.

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 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.

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 funding opportunity provides financial support for educational programs that train new researchers in Down syndrome to improve understanding and treatment of co-occurring health conditions throughout the lifespan.
