Find Funding Opportunities

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke (NINDS) seeks applications for the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). The DCC will function as part of the NNTC, a national resource that provides clinical and research data and biological specimens to accelerate discovery research for HIV-associated central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) diseases. It will support the NNTC Clinical Sites that are funded via the companion FOA (RFA-MH-13-070). The DCC works cooperatively with the NNTC Clinical Sites to provide (1) management and database capabilities to ensure effective clinical and brain banking operations and (2) scientific expertise in biostatistics and HIV epidemiology to enable broad analysis of the NNTC clinical database and to aid in post award statistical analysis of recruitment and retention goals for the NNTC cohort. In this consortium, the NNTC Clinical Sites will have all patient contact which will include all clinical assessments ante-mortem. The NNTC Clinical Sites will also be responsible for the collection and housing of post mortem clinical specimens. The DCC will serve as a data repository which will include the clinical assessment data and data obtained post mortem including brain pathology reports, laboratory tests conducted on the collected specimens/fluids, a comprehensive inventory of those specimens housed at each NNTC Clinical Site, and research data, such as bioinformatics datasets.

The purpose of the NIH Research Conference (R13) Grant and NIH Research Conference Cooperative Agreement (U13) Programs is to support high quality conferences that are relevant to the public health and to the scientific mission of the participating Institutes and Centers.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) for projects to design and develop advanced tools and technologies for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts that will lead to improved clinical treatment for patients with hydrocephalus.

This FOA invites applications proposing to study HIV infection, HIV-associated conditions, HIV treatment, and/or biobehavioral or social factors associated with HIV/AIDS in the context of aging and/or in older adults. Research approaches of interest include clinical translational, observational, and intervention studies in domestic and international settings.

The purpose of this FOA is to seek revision applications to cooperative agreements that are supporting networks or consortia of researchers who conduct or will be interested in conducting research in the following areas: The effectiveness of current human subjects protections and the development of tools and methods to examine evolving, evidence-based approaches to improve human subjects protections. The feasibility, costs, benefits, and impacts of requiring consent for research on deidentified human specimens and data using novel models of consent, e.g., notification, opt-out, opt-in, broad consent.

The NINDS Advanced Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity issued by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is designed to increase the number of highly trained early career investigators from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research. Faculty from diverse backgrounds represent only 5% of the tenure-stream neuroscience faculty (2009 Survey Report Neuroscience Departments and Programs). This opportunity provides individuals from diverse backgrounds with strong training in neuroscience with the resources and tools that will help facilitate a transition to a stable and productive independent research position. Individuals from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research are eligible for support under this award if they have doctoral research degrees (Ph.D., P.h.D./M.D. or equivalent) and between 2 and 5 years of postdoctoral research experience at the time of application.
