Reissue of RFA-NS-18-020: Understanding the dynamic activity of brain circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for recording and modulation (including various modalities for stimulation/activation, inhibition and manipulation) of cells (i.e., neuronal and non-neuronal) and networks to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). This FOA seeks exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and modulating CNS activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. It is expected that the proposed research may be high-risk, but if successful, could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research. Proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, validated under in vivo experimental conditions, and capable of reducing major barriers to conducting neurobiological experiments and making new discoveries about the CNS. Technologies may engage diverse types of signaling beyond neuronal electrical activity such as optical, magnetic, acoustic and/or genetic recording/manipulation. Applications that seek to integrate multiple approaches are encouraged. If suitable, applications are expected to integrate appropriate domains of expertise, including biological, chemical and physical sciences, engineering, computational modeling and statistical analysis.

This funding opportunity supports collaborative research projects led by independent investigators to advance the understanding and treatment of infectious and immune-mediated diseases.

Rapid advances in genotyping and next generation sequencing technologies have led to the identification of genetic variants that are associated with a wide variety of congenital defects including structural birth defects (SBDs), intellectual developmental disabilities (IDDs) and inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). Large quantities of genomic data collected from pediatric birth defects cohorts are available to the research community through several databases such as the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Portal, the European Genome-Phenome Archive and Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen). The purpose of this initiative is to promote the screening, functional validation and characterization of birth defects-associated genetic variants identified through public facing databases and individual efforts using in-silico tools, appropriate animal models, in vitro systems or multi-pronged approaches. This initiative addresses a challenging gap between identifying sequence variations of potential interest and recognizing which of those variations have functional effects on the phenotype of interest.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in conducting observational studies or validating biomarkers related to dental, oral, and craniofacial diseases, aiming to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment through prospective data collection and analysis.

CDC announces availability of fiscal year 2024 funding for a cooperative agreement for Cycle 5 of the STD Surveillance Network (SSuN). Continuing resurgence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), along with the imperative to implement syndemic approaches to disease surveillance addressing related epidemics such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Mpox (Orthopox virus previously referred to as monkeypox) inform this competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which will support integrated sentinel and enhanced surveillance at the local, state, and national level. Emergent issues of concern such as Mpox and antimicrobial resistant STIs add urgency to the maintenance of robust syndemic surveillance at the community level and in sexual health clinical settings. The purpose of this NOFO is to support sentinel and enhanced surveillance for STDs providing complete demographics, behavioral risk, clinical and preventive services data missing in routine reporting. Sentinel clinic surveillance, enhanced investigations of reported cases, and special projects funded by this NOFO will provide epidemiologic and preventive services information filling gaps in knowledge regarding STI prevention priorities. These data improve the ability of public health agencies to address STI/HIV health equity outcomes and syndemic interactions in populations with shared risks.This NOFO supports two core strategies for (A) sentinel surveillance in sexual health clinical facilities, and (B) enhanced case-based surveillance in community settings. Both core strategies integrate a syndemic approach to monitoring STIs, HIV, behavioral data, and on preventive services accessed by all persons presenting for care in sexual health settings, and persons diagnosed and reported with selected STIs from all provider settings in defined geographic areas. The goal of this NOFO is to monitor and report trends in patient characteristics, screening, and diagnoses to identify opportunities and gaps across the STI/HIV prevention continuum. Protocols are designed to address critical information gaps in routine national case reporting and incorporate local flexibility to respond to emergent health issues by supporting a network of geographically diverse health departments and an expanded network of clinical partners. These efforts complement existing state, local and national surveillance strategies and enhance the capacity of health departments to collect high-quality, timely data to inform disease prevention and control activities.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research consortia focused on improving the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases through collaborative, patient-centered clinical studies involving multiple institutions and patient advocacy groups.

The "Enhancing NIDCD's Extramural Workforce Diversity through Research Experiences" grant aims to fund educational activities that inspire individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to pursue careers or further studies in biomedical and behavioral sciences research.

Funding Opportunity PurposeThe full-scale Diversity Centers for Genome Research (DCGR) program aims to establish Genomic Research Centers at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) as defined in Part 2, section III of the FOA. The MSIs must have a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research that award doctorate degrees in the health professions or the sciences related to health, and have received an average of less than $50 million per year in NIH support and less than $25 million per year of R01 total cost of NIH support for the past three fiscal years. The purpose of this FOA is to call for applications for UG3/UH3 cooperative agreements to support the development and planning for a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team to develop administrative, genomic workforce development and community engagement cores and 2-3 interrelated, innovative genomic research projects that address one or more critical issues in genomics including: genomic technology and methods development; genome structure; genome function; genomics of disease; use and impact of genomic information in clinical care; genomic data science and computational genomics, ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic research (ELSI); and/or genomics and health equity. The outcome of the development and feasibility studies will be fully developed plans to carry out all activities of a full-scale Diversity Center for Genome Research. Along with its scientific goals, the DCGR should expand the pool of diverse genomic scientists, clinician scientists, and researchers who can perform innovative genomics research by providing didactic, practicum and research activities and experiences that are aligned with the research projects.
