Funding Opportunity PAR-25-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objective of this funding opportunity is to support investigator-initiated, Phase I clinical trials for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders in adults and children. In addition to supporting clinical trial start-up and implementation activities, this FOA will provide support for final stage preclinical activities needed for the implementation of the proposed trial. All the activities proposed in the R61 phase must be directly related to the therapeutic/diagnostic in preparation for the clinical trial. The proposed trial can be single or multisite. This NOFO will utilize a bi-phasic, milestone-driven mechanism of award where the first phase can be used to finalize required pre-trial activities such as stability, shipping studies, and site training.

NHLBI Early Phase Clinical Trials for Therapeutics and/or Diagnostics for HLBS Disorders (R33 CT Required)

4 weeks ago
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-025 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The objective of this funding opportunity is to support investigator-initiated, phase I clinical trials for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders in adults and children. The proposed trial can be single or multisite. Applicants applying for funding under this NOFO should be ready to initiate the clinical trial within the first quarter of the project period. Discussion, submission, and attainment of applicable regulatory (FDA, DSMB, IRB) approvals, and establishment of drug (and placebo, if applicable) supplies, and any necessary third-party agreements should be established by the time of award. If time and support for these and other pre-clinical and/or trial readiness activities are desired, applicants should consider the companion NOFO which utilizes an R61/R33 phased approach.

4 weeks ago
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-239 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This purpose of this NOFO is to support, through the cooperative agreement mechanism, investigator-initiated observational studies or biomarker validation studies that require prospective collection of data/biospecimens or continued analysis of data/biospecimens collected as part of a previous NIDCR cooperative agreement.

Interventions to Address Disparities in Liver Diseases and Liver Cancer (R01 - Clinical Trials Optional)

4 weeks ago
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-299 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative will support multi-level and/or multi-domain intervention research to reduce disparities in liver diseases and liver cancer among populations who experience health disparities in the United States (U.S.). This NOFO is being reissued in accordance with the simplified review criteria in effect for application due dates after January 25, 2025.

Rehabilitation Research Career Development Programs (K12 Clinical Trial Optional)

4 weeks ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-26-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity seeks applications to support national programs of mentored career development and training in research for junior faculty in clinical rehabilitation fields. The goal is to attract and nurture a new and geographically-diverse cadre of clinically trained rehabilitation researchers and support their transition to independent funding. The program should support scholars with a clinical background in medical rehabilitation (e.g., physiatry, physical/occupational therapy and allied health).

High-Priority Research in Tobacco Regulatory Science (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

4 weeks ago
Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-25-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite R01 applications to support new high-priority biomedical and behavioral research that will provide scientific data to inform the regulation of tobacco products to protect public health. Research Projects must address the current high-priority research topics related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). The awards under this NOFO will be administered by NIH using funds that have been made available through FDA CTP and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P.L. 111-31). Research results from this NOFO are expected to generate findings and data that are directly relevant in informing the FDA's regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health.

Accelerating Solutions to Improve Access and Quality of Empirically-Supported Practices for Youth Mental Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

4 weeks 2 days ago
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-310 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This NOFO is a call to action in response to the mental health crisis in the United States.
