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

The "Materials to Enhance Training in Experimental Rigor (METER)" grant aims to support the creation of innovative educational materials for an online platform, designed to improve understanding and application of rigorous biomedical research principles among researchers and scientists at different career stages.

This funding opportunity supports research projects that investigate individual differences in pain experiences and treatment responses, aiming to develop personalized pain management strategies while addressing the opioid crisis.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences for high school or undergraduate students or science teachers during the summer academic break. The proposed program needs to fit within the mission of the participating IC that the application is being submitted to and should not have a general STEM focus (see below and Table of IC-Specific Information and Points of Contact).

This funding opportunity supports U.S.-based organizations in evaluating the impact of upcoming public policies and programs that aim to improve health behaviors and reduce chronic disease risk factors through behavioral changes.

This funding opportunity supports researchers conducting time-sensitive studies that enhance ongoing clinical projects related to arthritis, musculoskeletal, and skin diseases, aiming to improve understanding and treatment of these conditions.

This funding opportunity provides rental assistance to extremely low-income, non-elderly individuals with disabilities in Washington State, helping them afford housing while prioritizing underserved counties and populations, including veterans and the homeless.

This grant provides funding for collaborative research projects that investigate how RNA modifications influence cancer development by altering protein synthesis, requiring expertise in RNA biology and cancer research.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research to develop combination cancer therapies that integrate radiation treatment with targeted molecular agents, aimed at improving treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.

This funding opportunity supports the advanced development and validation of innovative technologies aimed at improving cancer research, targeting a diverse range of organizations capable of contributing to this field.

This funding opportunity supports the establishment of Clinical Coordinating Centers for multi-site clinical trials focused on heart, lung, and blood health issues, encouraging collaboration and community engagement to improve trial efficiency and address health disparities.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support formative research and pilot testing of culturally sensitive, innovative interventions to identify and mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation and behavior (SIB), and/or non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The proposed research initiatives must incorporate a plan to strengthen research capacity within the LMIC community where the study will be conducted.

This grant provides funding for healthcare institutions and organizations to develop educational projects that improve the management and treatment of severe alopecia areata, particularly in patients with other health conditions.

This funding opportunity supports the Coriell Institute in maintaining and expanding a repository of high-quality human cell lines and DNA samples for biomedical research, benefiting scientists studying genetic disorders and human health.

This grant provides funding for researchers, especially those new to the field or looking to integrate advanced data science methods, to explore addiction-related questions using existing data and innovative analytical techniques.

This funding opportunity supports U.S.-based researchers and organizations in developing non-addictive pain relief therapies to combat the opioid crisis, with a focus on advancing preclinical candidates toward clinical trials.

Enhances the integration of HIV-related services and primary healthcare in select countries that are at or near HIV epidemic control to sustain gains made by PEPFAR and contribute to resilient public health systems. The United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is a US governmental initiative to address the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. To ensure longevity and sustainability in areas with low HIV prevalence, HIV treatment can be incorporated into existing successful primary health care models with decentralised service delivery to promote adherence to long-term treatment.18 With support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other international partners, Haiti has had integrated HIV and primary health-care services for over 20 years.19, 20 The PEPFAR programme in Haiti integrates HIV, maternal and child health care, and family planning services in primary health-care settings to reduce HIV stigma. At the site level, Haitians who receive maternal and child health care and family planning services also obtain HIV education and screening, as well as STI education and treatment. At the community level, Haiti provides integrated HIV self-testing, postnatal visits, immunisations, referral services, adherence counselling, and tracking of treatment interruptions. HIV services are also being integrated into the scope of work for community health workers.21 Efforts to make HIV treatment more sustainable include gradual transition of donor-paid health worker salaries to the national budget.

This funding opportunity supports researchers developing and testing strategies to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and improve interventions for affected individuals throughout their lives.

This funding opportunity supports research projects that explore how patients' beliefs and expectations about cancer treatment can improve symptom management, particularly for underserved populations facing unique challenges in care.
