Expiration Date: Thursday, February 1, 2024 NOFO Number: NOT-OD-22-032 Release Date: Thursday, December 2, 2021 Notice Type: Notice of Special Interest
This NOSI calls for research that will enrich scientific understanding of how sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or being born with differences/disorders in sex development (DSDs) or intersex characteristics relate to health outcomes, health risks, health behaviors, perceptions and expectations about health, and access to health-related services or associated barriers.
Expiration Date: Monday, April 17, 2023 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-22-011 Release Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 Notice Type: RFA
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) supports efforts to disseminate resources and to integrate them into neuroscience research practice. Projects should be highly relevant to specific goals of the BRAIN Initiative, goals that are described in the planning document "BRAIN 2025: A Scientific Vision." They should engage in one or more of the following activities: distribution of tools and reagents; user training on the usage of new technologies or techniques; providing access to existing technology platforms and specialized facilities; minor improvements to increase the scale/efficiency of resource production and delivery; minor adaptations to meet the needs of a user community. Applications strictly focused on technology or software development, rather than dissemination of an existing resource, are not responsive to this FOA. Refinements to microscopes or tools necessary to customize them to the experimental needs of the end users is allowed. Projects should address compelling needs of neuroscience researchers working toward the goals of the BRAIN 2025 report that are otherwise unavailable or impractical in their current form.
Expiration Date: Friday, April 19, 2024 NOFO Number: PAR-21-343 Release Date: Friday, November 19, 2021 Notice Type: PAR
The goal of this program is to support collaborative translational research projects aligned with NIH efforts to enhance the translation of basic biological discoveries into clinical applications that improve health. It encourages high quality science demonstrating the potential to result in understanding an important disease process or lead to new therapeutic interventions, diagnostics, or prevention strategies within the research interests and priorities of the participating NIH Institutes/Centers (ICs). Specifically, the program seeks to broaden and strengthen translational research collaborations between basic and clinical researchers both within and outside NIH to accelerate and enhance translational science by promoting partnerships between NIH intramural investigators (e.g., those conducting research within the labs and clinics of the NIH) and extramural investigators (e.g., those conducting research in labs outside the NIH), and by providing support for extramural investigators to take advantage of the unique research opportunities available at the NIH Clinical Center by conducting clinical research projects in collaboration with NIH intramural investigators.

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN). SIREN will enable conduct of high-quality, multi-site clinical trials to improve the outcomes for patients with neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, hematologic, and trauma emergency events. SIREN will consist of one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC), one Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and up to 10 clinical centers (Hubs). The DCC will have responsibility for data management, data quality, statistical analysis, Data Safety Monitoring Board(s) (DSMB) and reporting to regulatory and oversight groups. SIREN will implement a total of at least four large (1,000 patient) simple, pragmatic clinical trials in the emergency department and pre-hospital settings. The clinical trials will be meritorious, peerreviewed projects which will be awarded under separate funding announcements.
Expiration Date: Saturday, February 3, 2024 NOFO Number: PAR-22-073 Release Date: Friday, November 19, 2021 Notice Type: PAR
Through this I-Corps at NIH program Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), NIH and CDC provide administrative supplement awards to active SBIR (NIH and CDC) and STTR Phase I (NIH only) grantees/awardees. The I-Corps at NIH mission is to empower entrepreneurs in developing and validating a strategic business model through diverse customer discovery in order to meet unmet clinical needs. I-Corps enables and accelerates the transformation of invention to impact SBIR and STTR Phase I awardees in a no-cost extension are eligible as long as, if selected, their no cost extension covers the entire duration of I-Corps at NIH cohort. The program provides three-member project teams with access to instruction and mentoring to accelerate the translation of technologies currently being developed with NIH and CDC SBIR and STTR funding. It is anticipated that outcomes for the I-Corps teams participating in this program will include significantly refined commercialization plans and well-informed pivots in their overall commercialization strategies. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Scientific/Research staff for more information about the program before applying.

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for the Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) of Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN). SIREN will enable conduct of high-quality, multi-site clinical trials to improve the outcomes for patients with neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, hematologic and trauma emergency events. SIREN will consist of one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC), one Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and up to 10 clinical centers (Hubs). The CCC will facilitate implementation of clinical trials and will promote high quality and efficient timeliness in trial execution through such methods as master trial agreements and a central Institutional Review Board. SIREN will implement a total of at least four large (1,000 patient) simple, pragmatic clinical trials in the emergency department and pre-hospital settings. The clinical trials will be meritorious, peerreviewed projects which will be awarded under separate funding announcements.

Expiration Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-22-015 Release Date: Friday, November 19, 2021 Notice Type: RFA
(Reissue of RFA-NS-16-016) The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from new and existing sites to serve as Clinical Centers (Hubs) in the SIREN Network. SIREN conduct of several multi-center Phase III clinical trials, to improve the outcomes for patients with neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, hematologic, and traumatic conditions. SIREN is made up of one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC), one Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and 11 clinical centers (Hubs). A Hub is usually an academic center or tertiary referral center which actively enrolls patients into all of the clinical trial performed in SIREN. Hubs also provide scientific leadership and administrative oversight to their multiple satellite sites ("Spokes"). Together the Hub and Spokes provide access to a large and varying patient population for clinical trials. SIREN performs a number of simple, pragmatic clinical trials in the emergency department and pre-hospital settings. The clinical trials are meritorious, peerreviewed projects which are awarded under separate funding announcements.
Expiration Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023 NOFO Number: PAR-22-055 Release Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 Notice Type: PAR
This FOA invites applications from multidisciplinary teams to perform secondary data analysis, using existing datasets from two or more multi-site clinical research projects, to address scientific and clinical hypotheses relevant to neurological disorders and conditions within the NINDS mission. In this phased funding mechanism, applications are required to systematically and comprehensively perform cross-project data harmonization and curation, assessed using Go/No-go data-quality metrics, prior to funding of the second phase of data analyses. Consistent with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data principles, this funding opportunity expects open-source cataloging of the processes and tools used for harmonization, curation, and analysis, as well as controlled access to the curated datasets.
