This funding opportunity supports researchers in developing innovative theories and methods to better understand the complex interactions of genetic and non-genetic factors influencing human traits, particularly in relation to health and cancer risk.

The grant titled "Phased Multi-Site Clinical Trial: Testing Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Young Adults With High Lifetime Risk Using Surrogate Outcomes - Data Coordinating Center (Collaborative U24 Trial Required)" is aimed at funding the development and implementation of a Data Coordinating Center to manage data, provide statistical support, and ensure overall coordination for a multi-site clinical trial focused on preventing cardiovascular disease in young adults at high risk, while also promoting community engagement, diversity, and health equity.

The "Safety and Early Efficacy Studies of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for Chronic Pain in Older Adults" grant aims to fund a network of clinical trials that will study the safety and potential effectiveness of psychedelic drugs in treating chronic pain in older adults, with a focus on those aged 75 and above.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research teams using non-human animal models to develop advanced methods for measuring and analyzing behavior in relation to environmental factors.

HIV infection and substance use are comorbid conditions that bidirectionally and synergistically influence the deleterious outcomes in people who suffer from substance use disorders (SUD). The persistence and transcriptional reactivation of HIV lead to the development of neuropathological complications. Strategies to address viral latency include silencing of HIV transcription and reactivation and clearance. The goal of this initiative is to support research aimed at (1) identification of targets and pathways by which transcriptional activity of HIV can be suppressed in HIV reservoirs including the CNS in people with SUD, and (2) application of emerging small molecule drug discovery approaches to identify novel compounds that can be utilized as pharmacological probes and as drugs to suppress HIV transcription in people with HIV-SUD comorbidity.

This grant provides funding to national organizations focused on improving lupus awareness, diagnosis, treatment, and self-management among affected populations, particularly women aged 15 to 44.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and educational institutions to implement and evaluate anti-stigma interventions that improve access to HIV care and prevention services across the U.S.

This funding opportunity supports small-scale research projects that analyze existing genomic data to advance understanding of dental, oral, and craniofacial health, particularly focusing on health disparities and biological pathways for intervention.

The "Early- and Late-Stage Clinical Trials for the Spectrum of Alzheimer's Disease/Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias and Age-Related Cognitive Decline" grant is a $20 million funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health, aimed at supporting innovative clinical trials that develop and test pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline over a five-year period.

This grant provides funding for researchers to develop a vaccine against Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), aiming to prevent infection and treat related diseases in affected populations.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to higher education institutions and nonprofits to establish or renew research centers focused on advancing studies related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, promoting collaboration, innovation, and diversity in research efforts.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to researchers with active NIH grants to quickly adapt their projects to address urgent public health crises that have emerged unexpectedly.

This funding opportunity supports short-term research projects that explore the ethical challenges arising from advancements in neurotechnology and brain science, encouraging collaboration between ethicists and neuroscientists.

The "Clinical Trial Readiness for Rare Diseases, Disorders, and Syndromes" grant aims to fund research projects that prepare for clinical trials in rare diseases by developing effective strategies for testing potential treatments or diagnostics, improving success rates with robust biomarkers and assessment measures, or by understanding the progression of a rare disease to design future clinical trials.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research projects aimed at overcoming barriers to HIV prevention for marginalized individuals who use substances, focusing on improving access to and retention in PrEP care.

This funding opportunity supports U.S. research institutions in training and developing Ph.D. students from underrepresented groups in biomedical research to address national health-related challenges.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support innovative multidisciplinary and multi-level research designed to develop and/or test interventions to optimize care of persons with Type 2 diabetes from populations with health/health care disparities concordant with evidence-based guidelines. NIH-designated health disparity populations include racial and ethnic minorities (Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders), sexual and gender minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and underserved rural populations. Proposed projects would be expected to develop and/or test patient-centered strategies, which in addition to optimal glycemic control, would aim at completing other recommended guidelines (e.g., annual eye/foot and urine albumin exam, optimal blood pressure control, intake of ACEIs or ARBs/statin/aspirin and influenza/pneumonia vaccines).

This funding opportunity supports U.S. institutions in developing educational programs for psychiatry residents to enhance their research skills and encourage careers in mental health research.

The purpose of the Delta Health Systems Implementation Program (DSIP) is to improve healthcare delivery in rural areas by implementing projects that will improve the financial sustainability of hospitals and allow for increased access to care in rural communities. These projects focus on financial and operational improvement, quality improvement, telehealth, and workforce development in hospitals located in the rural counties and parishes of the Delta region.

This funding opportunity supports research and training in mathematical modeling to improve the prevention and management of infectious diseases in healthcare settings, targeting early-career modelers and collaboration with public health institutions.
