This funding opportunity provides financial support for early-career researchers to explore innovative studies that address the intersection of substance use disorders and HIV/AIDS, helping them transition into independent research careers.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in expanding their cancer studies to address health disparities affecting racial and ethnic minorities and underserved populations, encouraging collaboration between experienced cancer researchers and those focused on disparities.

This funding opportunity supports the development of innovative technologies that improve the collection and preservation of biological samples for cancer research and clinical care, targeting a wide range of eligible applicants including universities, nonprofits, and small businesses.

This funding opportunity supports early stage researchers in pursuing innovative and high-risk scientific projects that significantly diverge from their previous work, without the need for preliminary data.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects that address urgent issues in substance use and health services, particularly those arising from recent public health crises, and is open to a variety of organizations, including educational institutions and nonprofits.

Grant Title: Ending the Epidemic: New Models of Integrated HIV/AIDS, Addiction, and Primary Care Services (R34 Clinical Trial Optional) aims to support the development and testing of integrated healthcare models that combine HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, addiction treatment, and primary care services to improve health outcomes for individuals at risk for or living with these conditions.

Reissue of RFA-MH-22-220 to comply with DMSP. This FOA supports the development of software to visualize and analyze the data as part of programs of building the informatics infrastructure for the BRAIN Initiative. Other informatics programs include developing data standards that are needed to describe the new experiments that are being created by or used in the BRAIN Initiative ( RFA-MH-19-146 ), and creating the data infrastructures that will house the data from multiple experimental groups ( RFA-MH-19-145 ). Each of the programs is aimed at building an infrastructure that is used by a particular sub-domain of experimentalists rather than building a single all-encompassing informatics infrastructure now. Building the infrastructure one experimental area at a time will ensure that the infrastructure is immediately useful to components of the research community. As our understanding of the brain improves, it may be possible to create linkages between these various sub-domain specific informatics programs. Investigators of the informatics programs should keep that goal in mind and build for the future even though the current efforts are more limited in scope.

This funding opportunity supports multidisciplinary teams in developing innovative bioengineering technologies to address specific biomedical challenges, with eligibility for a wide range of organizations including universities, nonprofits, and small businesses.

This funding opportunity supports organizations that help vulnerable scientists and engineers prevent their expertise from being exploited by adversarial nations for weapons of mass destruction programs.

This funding opportunity supports researchers and organizations dedicated to enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the biomedical research field, particularly those who have faced career setbacks due to their DEIA commitments.

This funding opportunity supports researchers and organizations in developing new small molecule therapies for mental and neurological disorders, focusing on innovative drug discovery methods without involving clinical trials.

This funding opportunity supports research projects that develop and implement effective strategies to reduce overdose deaths and improve addiction treatment across various settings, targeting diverse populations and addressing health disparities.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research focused on the long-term health outcomes of youth and young adults in the U.S. living with perinatally acquired HIV, emphasizing the impacts of antiretroviral therapy and associated health challenges.

This FOA encourages applications for the Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program for the purpose of supporting the research activities during the early stage careers of independent clinical researchers. The program offers the opportunity for a unique bridge between the NIH intramural and extramural research communities and contains two phases. In the first phase, Lasker Scholars will receive appointments for up to 5-7 years as tenure-track investigators within the NIH Intramural Research Program with independent research budgets. In the second phase, successful scholars will receive up to 3 years of NIH support for their research at an extramural research facility; or, the Scholar can be considered to remain as an investigator within the intramural program.

The Lumpkin Family Foundation’s **Land, Health, Community (LHC) Grant Program** serves as its core philanthropic initiative, advancing the family’s long-standing commitment to holistic community well-being in East Central Illinois. At least half of the foundation’s annual grantmaking is directed to this region, with a focus on fostering prosperity, health, leadership, and environmental stewardship. Through the LHC program, the foundation seeks to nurture communities that are economically strong, physically and mentally healthy, socially engaged, and environmentally conscious—each element reinforcing the others to create long-term resilience and vitality. A central vision of the program is to strengthen local food systems and agricultural economies while supporting residents’ physical and mental health. The foundation encourages projects that promote access to healthy, affordable food, strengthen local farm businesses, and integrate sustainable land use practices. Equally important is the cultivation of social cohesion and civic capacity—empowering communities to collaborate on shared goals, retain talent, and attract new opportunities. The emphasis on leadership development and collaborative problem-solving underscores the foundation’s belief in community-driven progress. In response to growing awareness of mental health challenges, the Lumpkin Family Foundation has expanded the LHC program to include **nature-based mental wellness initiatives**. These efforts support programs that demonstrate the connection between engagement with nature and improved mental well-being. Priority is given to projects that help youth and young adults reduce screen time through outdoor experiences, provide self-care opportunities for mental health practitioners, and create healing environments for trauma-impacted individuals such as foster youth. The foundation recognizes the strong research-based link between time spent in nature and improvements in happiness, social connectedness, and emotional balance. Successful proposals often integrate multiple LHC focus areas, combining personal health, environmental stewardship, agricultural innovation, and mental wellness. The foundation particularly values programs that promote sustainable farming, develop green practices that add productivity while protecting the land, and build community capacity through education and collaboration. Preference is given to rural organizations and those located in **Coles County** and surrounding areas, reflecting the foundation’s deep roots in East Central Illinois. Through the Land, Health, Community Grant Program, the Lumpkin Family Foundation continues to invest in the long-term vitality of its home region. By uniting efforts in agriculture, health, the environment, and mental wellness, the program fosters communities that are not only economically stable but also socially vibrant and emotionally healthy—a living model of the foundation’s belief in the interdependence of land, people, and place.
