Access and Manipulation of Brain Cell Subtypes Implicated in Aging and AD/ADRD (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Not allowed)

1 day 16 hours ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-25-024 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications proposing innovative strategies to target and manipulate brain cell subtypes that are altered in aging, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and AD-Related Dementias (ADRDs). ADRDs include frontotemporal disorders (FTD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), and multiple etiology dementias (MED). Specifically, the goal of the NOFO is to encourage the development and utilization of sophisticated tools that pair breakthroughs in adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid engineering with enhancer element identification to (1) optimize precise targeting of disease-relevant cell subtypes in aged and degenerating mammalian brains and (2) monitor and/or manipulate these cells in vivo to address mechanistic hypotheses related to brain aging and AD/ADRD in animals models. To achieve this goal, the NOFO utilizes the R61/R33 Exploratory/Developmental Phased Award activity code. The R61 phase provides up to 2 years of support for pilot activities to demonstrate proof-of-principle. The R33 phase provides up to 3 years of support for implementation activities including hypothesis testing.

NEI Research for Low Vision and Blindness Accessibility Tools (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Optional)

2 days ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-EY-24-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to stimulate translational efforts in developing and implementing accessibility devices or interventions that apply new technologies to address challenges faced by individuals living with visual impairment. Critical elements of applications include a clear set of milestones that support development and testing of the tool, device, or intervention proposed; multidisciplinary and collaborative teams that include individuals with lived experience; and a tractable dissemination plan. The overall goal of the program is to push the boundaries of innovation in technology development to address accessibility needs of individuals with visual impairment and create resources that will be made available to the community. This NOFO uses a milestone driven and phased mechanism of award. Initial technology development and feasibility activities (R61 phase) may transition to expanded research support (R33 phase) for validation, larger-scale feasibility, and effectiveness studies. All applications must address both R61 and R33 phases.

Nutrition Obesity Research Centers Research Resource Center (RRC) (P2C- Clinical Trial Optional)

3 days 1 hour ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-25-011 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish a Research Resource Center (RRC) for the NIDDK Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC) Program. The NORC Program consists of eleven Centers across the nation that support and enhance the national research effort in nutrition and obesity through cutting-edge basic, clinical, translational, and health disparities research in nutrition science and obesity. In collaboration with the existing NORC program, the RRC will (1) provide administrative support for the entire NORC Program, (2) establish and curate a NORC Program website and centralized repository of research resources , (3) implement a multipronged approach to support and grow the early-to-midcareer research workforce, including individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a goal of maximizing national outreach and impact, (4) administer and manage a NORC Opportunity Program to address gaps and promote collaboration, and (5) manage a Pilot and Feasibility Program. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn.

Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (P30 Clinical Trial Optional)

3 days 1 hour ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-25-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish core centers that are part of an integrated and existing program of nutrition and/or obesity research. The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC) program is designed to support and enhance the national research effort in nutrition and obesity.NORCs support three primary research-related activities:Research Core services, a Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) program, and an Enrichment program. All activities pursued by Nutrition Obesity Research Centers are designed to enhance the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness, and multidisciplinary nature of research in nutrition and obesity.

NINDS Research Education Opportunities (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

5 days 1 hour ago
Funding Opportunity PAR-24-200 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NINDS R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.
