This funding opportunity supports early-stage researchers in the U.S. who are developing innovative projects to address the intersection of substance use disorders and HIV, with the goal of improving treatment and reducing incidence in affected populations.

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 funding opportunity provides significant financial support to U.S. higher education institutions and research organizations with established HIV/AIDS research programs, enabling them to enhance their research infrastructure and foster interdisciplinary collaboration in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to U.S.-based organizations for the late-stage development and dissemination of biomedical technologies that have shown laboratory feasibility, aiming to enhance their accessibility and usability in the research community.

This funding opportunity supports the creation of mentoring networks that provide professional development and career guidance for graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career researchers in mental health, helping them advance towards independent research careers.

This funding opportunity supports U.S. institutions in developing educational programs for psychiatry residents to enhance their research skills and encourage careers in mental health research.

This funding opportunity supports short courses that train researchers in advanced mental health research skills, targeting graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career investigators across the nation.

This funding opportunity supports the development and sharing of valuable genomic resources for researchers and organizations involved in basic and clinical genomics, ensuring broad access and community engagement.

The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research that addresses challenging questions of biological, societal and economic importance. PGRP encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies and resources that empower a broad plant research community to answer scientific questions on a genome-wide scale. Emphasis is placed on the scale and depth of the question being addressed and the creativity of the approach. Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales and of high impact across biology. Training, broadening participation, and career development are essential to scientific progress and should be integrated in all PGRP-funded projects. Two funding tracks are currently available: RESEARCH-PGR TRACK: Genome-scale plant research to address fundamental questions in biology, including processes of economic and/or societal importance. TRTech-PGR TRACK: Tools, resources and technology breakthroughs that further enable functional plant genomics.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications for multi-center clinical trials focused on neurological emergencies. Successful applicants will collaborate and conduct the trial within the NIH SIREN Network. The NIH SIREN Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) will work with the successful applicants to implement the proposed trial efficiently and the SIREN Data Coordinating Center (DCC) will provide statistical and data management support. The NIH SIREN hubs and their affiliated clinical sites will provide on-site implementation of the clinical protocols.The NIH SIREN Network will also be uniquely poised to collaborate with other US and international consortia necessary to conduct larger, definitive trials of promising interventions for neurological emergencies.Multi-center clinical trials in stroke treatment, recovery, or prevention supported by NINDS will be conducted in the NIH StrokeNet, and not within SIREN. Applicants do not need to be part of the existing SIREN infrastructure to apply under this FOA.

This funding opportunity supports multidisciplinary research teams in the U.S. working on complex biomedical questions, with a focus on advancing foundational biological processes and addressing critical health issues.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing disparities for minority populations in the U.S. through short-term studies and pilot interventions.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofits, and other organizations to implement strategies that promote better nutrition and physical activity, ultimately reducing chronic disease risks in their communities.
