Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to stimulate translation of scientific discoveries and engineering developments in imaging, data science and/or spectroscopic technologies into methods or tools that address contemporary problems in understanding the fundamental biology, potential risk of development, diagnosis, treatment, and/or disease status for cancer or other disease.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in analyzing and integrating existing data to better understand cancer risks and outcomes, ultimately advancing cancer research and treatment strategies.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for researchers to analyze and integrate existing data to better understand cancer risk, prevention, and treatment outcomes, particularly focusing on innovative methodologies and addressing health disparities.

Substance use needs to be better incorporated into interventions for the engagement and retention of sexual minority persons in prevention and care with attention to emergent interventions such as long-acting PrEP. Social determinants of health associated with HIV and problematic substance use such as homelessness and criminal justice involvement also demonstrate disproportionate impact among sexual and gender minorities and need attention. Changing self-definition of sexual minority status has implications for outreach and provider stigma and needs to be better integrated into interventions. This initiative will address these gap areas and support epidemiologic, intervention, and implementation research that incorporates attention to HIV as a syndemic including comorbidities such as STIs, HCV, and psychiatric disorder.

This grant provides access to advanced genetic and genomic analysis services for research projects focused on understanding genetic factors in human health and disease, without offering direct funding.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for the creation of significant scholarly works in biomedicine and health, aimed at researchers, public health officials, and scholars in the U.S. who are addressing critical gaps in these fields.

This funding opportunity supports research projects aimed at reducing stigma related to HIV/AIDS in low- and middle-income countries, with a focus on improving health outcomes for affected populations.

This funding opportunity supports research initiatives focused on non-communicable diseases related to HIV at institutions in low- and middle-income countries, encouraging innovative projects and collaborations to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV.

Reissue of RFA-MH-22-115 to comply with DMSP policy. The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis and manipulation of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. Critical advances in the treatment of brain disorders in human populations are hindered by our lack of ability to monitor and manipulate circuitry in safe, minimally-invasive ways. Clinical intervention with novel cell and circuit specific tools will require extensive focused research designed to remove barriers to delivery of gene therapies. In addition to identification and removal of barriers, the need to specifically target dysfunctional circuitry poses additional challenges. Neuroscience has experienced an impressive influx of exciting new research tools in the past decade, especially since the launch of the BRAIN Initiative. However, the majority of these cutting edge tools have been developed for use in model organisms, primarily rodents, fish and flies. These cutting edge tools, such as viral delivery of genetic constructs, are increasingly adaptable to large brains and more importantly are emerging as potential human therapeutic strategies for brain disorders. A pressing need to develop tools for use in large brains, more directly relevant to the human brain is the focus of this initiative. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application.
