Grants for Independent school districts - Federal

The purpose of the NIH Independent Scientist Award (K02) is to foster the development of outstanding scientists and enable them to expand their potential to make significant contributions to their field of research. The K02 award provides three to five years of salary support and "protected time" for newly independent scientists who can demonstrate the need for a period of intensive research focus as a means of enhancing their research careers. Each independent scientist career award program must be tailored to meet the individual needs of the candidate. This Parent Funding Opportunity Announcement is for basic science experimental studies involving humans, referred to in NOT-OD-18-212 as prospective basic science studies involving human participants. These studies fall within the NIH definition of a clinical trial and also meet the definition of basic research. Types of studies that should be submitted under this FOA include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes in humans for the purpose of understanding the fundamental aspects of phenomena without specific application towards processes or products in mind. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans led by another investigator, must apply to the 'Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed' companion FOA. The proposed project must be related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) based on their scientific missions.

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 R21 grant mechanism, while RFA-MH-25-185 uses the R01 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 grant provides funding for public and private partnerships to protect and restore wetland habitats in the U.S., benefiting waterfowl and migratory birds through collaborative conservation efforts.

This funding opportunity supports research and development of sustainable bio-based chemicals and renewable propane, targeting collaboration among universities, businesses, and government entities to promote clean energy and economic growth in rural communities.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research projects that explore how policies on tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use affect health disparities in underserved communities, with a focus on cancer prevention and community collaboration.

The purpose of the The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Fellows (F32) program is to enhance the research training of promising postdoctorates, early in their postdoctoral training period, who have the potential to become productive investigators in research areas that will advance the goals of the BRAIN Initiative. Applications are encouraged in any research area that is aligned with the BRAIN Initiative, including neuroethics. Applicants are expected to propose research training in an area that clearly complements their predoctoral research. Formal training in analytical tools appropriate for the proposed research is expected to be an integral component of the research training plan. In order to maximize the training potential of the F32 award, this program encourages applications from individuals who have not yet completed their terminal doctoral degree and who expect to do so within 12 months of the application due date. On the application due date, candidates may not have completed more than 12 months of postdoctoral training.

This grant provides funding to educational agencies and organizations to implement effective technology-based tools that improve reading outcomes for students with disabilities from pre-kindergarten to grade 12.

The "Ending the Epidemic: New Models of Integrated HIV/AIDS, Addiction, and Primary Care Services" grant aims to fund research for developing and testing new care models that effectively combine HIV, addiction, and primary care services to improve health outcomes for individuals at high risk for or living with HIV, Hepatitis, and substance use disorders in the US.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in studying and characterizing genetically modified mice that exhibit early life lethality or reduced viability, contributing to our understanding of gene function and its implications for human health.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) intends to publish a Request for Applications (RFA) seeking applications for a multisite clinical trial that will test a screening approach to identify coronary atherosclerosis and test interventions to reduce the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. There will be only one award for this RFA. The planned RFA will utilize the UG3/UH3 activity code with details provided below. The planned RFA will support a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and will run in parallel with a companion RFA for a collaborating Data Coordinating Center (DCC) application.This RFA will accept only an application that is part of a collaborative pair of applications. The pair must include one application to the CCC UG3/UH3 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) plus one application to the companion DCC U24 NOFO.Both a CCC application and a collaborating DCC application must be submitted on the same due date for consideration by NHLBI. CCC (UG3/UH3) applications submitted without a collaborative DCC (U24) application will be deemed incomplete and will not proceed to review. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The planned RFAs are expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in Fall 2024.

Reissue of RFA-MH-20-401.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports pilot work for subsequent studies testing the effectiveness of strategies to deliver evidence-based mental health services, treatment interventions, and/or preventive interventions (EBPs) in low-resource mental health specialty and non-specialty settings within the United States. The FOA targets settings where EBPs are not currently delivered or delivered with fidelity, such that there are disparities in mental health and related functional outcomes (e.g., employment, educational attainment, stable housing, integration in the community, treatment of comorbid substance use disorders, etc.) for the population(s) served. Implementation strategies should identify and use innovative approaches to remediate barriers to provision, receipt, and/or benefit from EBPs and generate new information about factors integral to achieving equity in mental health outcomes for underserved populations.

This funding opportunity supports organizations in rural areas to improve healthcare access and services tailored to local needs, focusing on collaboration among multiple healthcare providers.

This grant provides funding for large-scale, collaborative research projects that explore complex questions related to aging, requiring a multidisciplinary team and integration of various components across institutions.

This FOA invites applications that propose to develop novel research infrastructure that will advance the science of aging in specific areas requiring interdisciplinary partnerships or collaborations. This FOA will use the NIH Phased Innovation Award (R61/R33) mechanism to provide up to 2 years of R61 support for initial developmental activities and up to 3 years of R33 support for expanded activities. Through this award, investigators will develop a sustainable research infrastructure to support projects that address key interdisciplinary aging research questions.
