Federal Health Grants

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite applications to establish integrated and collaborative Stillbirth Research Centers, as part of a new Stillbirth Research Consortium. The Centers will support cutting-edge basic, translational, clinical, and/or data sciences research and generate knowledge to fuel advancement of stillbirth-relevant research in the United States, with a particular emphasis on approaches that utilize an equity lens to identify ways to decrease the incidence of stillbirth in vulnerable populations. A Data Coordinating Center (described in the companion announcement NOT-HD-24-010) will support the work of the research projects funded under the Stillbirth Research Consortium. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants additional time to develop meaningful collaborations, interdisciplinary teams, and responsive applications. International collaboration is encouraged and allowable. The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in Winter 2024. This NOFO will utilize the UG1 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.

This funding opportunity supports independent research projects in health-related fields for a wide range of eligible applicants, including universities, nonprofits, and small businesses, without allowing clinical trials.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Health Center Programs Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC-AA). The purpose of this funding is to ensure continuity of care in the communities and populations currently served by the Health Center Program. See Program Requirements and Expectations for more details.

This funding opportunity supports researchers conducting mid-phase clinical trials on natural products, such as botanicals and dietary supplements, to determine optimal dosages and identify patient responses for future studies.

This program provides federal funding to states and territories to help repay student loans for primary care, dental, and behavioral health providers who serve in underserved communities.

This grant provides funding for innovative early-stage cancer research projects that could lead to significant advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, targeting a wide range of eligible organizations including universities, nonprofits, and small businesses.

This funding opportunity provides up to $1 million to research centers focused on improving the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of intellectual and developmental disabilities through collaborative and innovative research.

This funding opportunity supports research institutions and organizations in developing therapies and medical devices for various eye diseases, facilitating their transition from laboratory to clinical application.

This R21 funding opportunity encourages projects that test, in animals and/or humans, whether modifying electrophysiological patterns can improve cognitive, affective, or social processing. This R21 has a companion R01 (TEMP-10327). The proximal goal of this FOA (and its companion R01) is to encourage investigators to test whether modifying specific patterns of coordinated neural activity in vivo can improve cognitive, social, or affective processes. These studies should be based on a rational understanding of the role of specific neural activity rhythms in, for example, the routing of information among brain regions or in improving the ability of afferent information to affect local processing via coherence of underlying oscillatory activity.

This funding opportunity supports institutions conducting clinical trials focused on improving dental, oral, and craniofacial health by allowing them to extend or revise ongoing studies to gather more data or address new research needs.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to community coalitions focused on preventing and reducing youth substance use, helping them implement effective strategies and strengthen local partnerships.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to law enforcement agencies across the U.S. to enhance officer safety, wellness, and resilience through comprehensive training and resources.

This grant provides funding to local organizations in Eswatini to improve and integrate HIV and TB prevention and treatment services, enhancing the capacity of health institutions and ensuring community involvement in the process.

This grant provides funding to local Mozambican organizations to improve HIV prevention and treatment services in Tete and Manica provinces, with a focus on quality care, community outreach, and strengthening health systems.

This funding opportunity supports higher education institutions and nonprofits in developing advanced short courses that teach researchers essential genomics skills, focusing on various aspects of genomics research and its applications.

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 funding opportunity supports researchers exploring the causes and effects of mood and psychotic disorders during menopause, aiming to improve mental health interventions for women experiencing this transition.

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.

This program provides funding to healthcare providers and organizations to improve mental health and substance use services for women, particularly those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
