The "Interaction Between Environmental Factors and Lewy Body Dementia" grant aims to fund research that investigates how environmental factors like pollution and metals can cause Lewy Body Dementia, with the goal of finding new, changeable targets for treatment.

The grant titled "BRAIN Initiative: Targeted BRAIN Circuits Planning Projects TargetedBCPP (R34 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)" is designed to fund exploratory research projects that use innovative methods to understand how brain circuit activity influences mental experiences and behavior, with successful results potentially leading to further research projects.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit research designed to capacitate, transform, and scale the delivery of HIV testing, prevention, and care services through pharmacists and pharmacies in US and/or global settings. This includes theadvancement of training curricula to enable pharmacy students, pharmacists, pharmacies, and pharmacy systems to deliver the spectrum of needed HIV services with ease, equity, and effectiveness. This NOFO uses the R01 grant mechanism, while RFA-MH-25-186 uses the R21 mechanism. Projects that lack preliminary data or that propose to pilot a novel intervention may be most appropriate for the R21 mechanism. Applications with preliminary data and those proposing large-scale clinical trials or longitudinal analyses should consider using the R01 mechanism.

This funding opportunity supports innovative and high-risk neuroscience research projects that may lack extensive preliminary data, aimed at advancing our understanding of neurological and mental health disorders.

The grant titled "Mechanistic and Hemodynamic Basis of Diffuse White Matter Disease in Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID)(R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" aims to fund research into the biological causes, progression, and effects of diffuse white matter disease, a common age-related brain condition linked to cognitive impairment and dementia, with the ultimate goal of reducing its impact on health.

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), intend to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Specialized Research Centers (MDSRCs). These Centers promote collaborative basic, translational, and clinical research and provide important resources that can be used by the national muscular dystrophy research communities. The Centers also provide outstanding environments for the training of new researchers capable of addressing high priority objectives in muscular dystrophy research. Center investigators are expected to participate in important community outreach efforts to increase awareness of their research activities among people with lived experience and the related advocacy communities and to incorporate community perspectives into the conduct of patient-centered research. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in Spring 2024 with an expected application due date in Summer 2024. Only New and Renewal applications will be eligible. This NOFO will utilize the P50 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
