Grants for Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Health

The grant titled "Mechanistic Investigations into ADRD Associated Protein Structures in Biological Settings" aims to use recent advancements in structural biology to study protein assemblies related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) in their natural environments within cells and tissues, with the goal of developing ligands that can identify and monitor these proteins in patients.

This funding opportunity supports the development of innovative computational tools to enhance the use of the human pangenome in genomic research, particularly for applications in cancer, aging, and diverse populations.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to diversify the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). This initiative will emphasize the development of skills in data science and drug discovery, and their application to various aspects of AD/ADRD research (from populations studies to research that can lead to new treatments and diagnostics, including all aspects of behavioral and social research). This initiative will support early career, independent investigators from diverse backgrounds to gain critical translational skills in data science and drug discovery. The long-term goal of this program is to develop a diverse translational workforce that can effectively participate in and/or lead a team-science, precision medicine approach to AD/ADRD treatment, prevention, early detection, and disease management and care.

This funding opportunity supports Arizona-based institutions conducting clinical research on ibogaine to treat neurological diseases, aiming to advance health and wellness for residents through innovative, collaborative projects.

This grant provides funding for research projects that implement screening and intervention strategies for alcohol, tobacco, and drug use among adult populations facing health disparities, such as racial minorities and low-income communities.

This funding opportunity supports researchers developing innovative technologies to enhance the delivery of treatments for HIV and substance use disorders, focusing on improving patient outcomes and understanding the effects of addictive substances.

This funding opportunity provides small grants to early-career researchers who have received specific NHLBI K awards, allowing them to expand their research projects or explore new studies that build on their previous work.

This grant provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and agencies that enhance the quality of life for older adults in Franklin County and the Central Pennsylvania region.

The "Early-Stage Dissemination and Implementation Research in Communication Disorders" grant aims to fund preliminary research projects that focus on improving the dissemination and implementation of treatments for hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language disorders, with a requirement to incorporate a Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) process model and other core D&I research elements.

This funding opportunity supports research institutions and organizations in studying biological markers of cognitive decline and dementia in aging individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, aiming to improve understanding and assessment of these conditions.

The purpose of this NOFO is to seek applications for a Coordinating Center (CC) for the Multi-Sectoral Preventive Interventions (MSPI) Research Network. Members of the Multi-Sectoral Preventive Interventions (MSPI) Research Network, including the CC and separately funded research projects, will work collaboratively with the NIH to test prospective multi-sectoral preventive interventions that address social determinants of health in populations that experience health disparities. The MSPI Research Network will include the CC funded under this Cooperative Agreement and up to 10 Research Projects funded under the companion UG3/UH3 Phased Cooperative Agreement NOFO, Multi-sectoral preventive interventions that address social determinants of health in populations that experience health disparities. The CC will provide overarching support and guidance to the network in three domains: (1) administration, coordination, and communication; (2) methodology, data, and analytic support and consultation; and (3) community and other collaborator engagement and dissemination support. It is important that applicants for the CC also read the companion NOFO to understand the full mission and structure of the research network.

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 these 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 of collecting, reconstructing, analyzing, integrating, disseminating, and interpreting 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. NIH expects to fund one or more BRAIN CONNECTS DCCs, which will collaborate with CONNECTS data generating projects to (1) coordinate activities of the BRAIN CONNECTS Network, (2) develop and harmonize common data processing pipelines, (3) integrate and disseminate data analytic tools and capabilities, (4) establish a unified knowledge base for connectivity data of diverse modalities, and (5) organize and implement outreach and engagement to the wider research community and the general public. Awards will be integrated into the BRAIN CONNECTS Network as a coordinated effort aimed at developing the ability to generate wiring diagrams spanning entire brains across multiple scales and species.
