(Reissue PAR-21-056) The purpose of this Program Announcement (PAR) is to enable analytical validation of strong candidate biomarkers for neurological diseases and conditions. Specifically, the goal of this PAR is to enable the rigorous validation of analytical methods for biomarker measurements, including evaluation of the detection method, its performance characteristics, and the optimal conditions that will generate reproducibility and accuracy consistent with FDA guidelines. This PAR assumes that 1) a candidate biomarker has already been identified, 2) detection method technology has already been developed, and 3) the research and/or clinical need and potential context of use has been identified.

The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) requests proposals from eligible U.S. institutionsto provide aScientific Ocean Drilling Coordination Office(SODCO). This Coordinating Office will work with Principal Investigators (PIs) in the selection of suitable, academically or commercially available drilling and coring platforms to collect subseafloor samples, make subseafloor measurements, and install long-term borehole observatories. It is anticipated that SODCO will be supported by the NSF Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) through a Cooperative Agreement of up to five years duration with the possibility of renewal for up to an additional five years. SODCO may work with the commercial drilling community or other drilling organizations from the United States or abroad to determine the type and availability of drilling platforms and services that may be available for NSF-funded scientific projects that require ocean drilling. SODCO will have the expertise to generate requests for bids to provide the drilling services as needed. SODCO is expected to play a proactive role in the ocean science community to encourage innovation in drilling technologies and methods in response to scientific community needs and will help guide the development of new drilling designs as requested by the ocean science community. SODCO will coordinate and manage drilling activities for the U.S. ocean science community. Requirements for drilling activities will be derived both from long-range science plans developed by the ocean science community as well as research proposals funded by NSF. We encourage collaborations with international partners and with scientists funded by other sources. SODCO will be capable of assisting in the planning and execution of all aspects of the drilling activities. Interested parties must respond to this solicitation with a proposal to provide for these services under a single award. SODCO award will be administered as a Cooperative Agreement with an anticipated duration of up to five-years. A mid-term management review will be required, which will guide a decision to re-compete or renew the Cooperative Agreement for up to a further five-year period. SODCOs role is expected to be coordination and management of activities for proponents seeking to develop a deep-sea drilling program; financial support for a specific drilling expedition, including lease of a specific platform will be through another award instrument. It is expected that provision of expedition-specific platforms will therefore be accomplishedearly in the science proposal development process in collaboration with individual proponents that intend to establish a drilling-based research program.

This grant provides funding for researchers to study how HIV and substance use disorder affect brain cell function, with the goal of uncovering new treatment strategies for individuals facing these combined challenges.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in conducting multi-site clinical trials to investigate the effects of natural products, such as botanicals and dietary supplements, on health, requiring a comprehensive plan for trial management and data analysis.

The purpose of the NINDS Postdoctoral Mentored Career Development Award is to support the ability of outstanding, mentored postdoctoral researchers to develop a potentially impactful research project with a comprehensive career development plan that will enable them to launch an independent research program. Candidates are encouraged to apply for support from this NINDS K01 any time between the second through fourth year of cumulative mentored postdoctoral research experience, and may be supported by this NINDS K01 within the first 6 years of cumulative postdoctoral research experience. Because the completion of a strong, well-planned, thorough career development plan, in addition to development of an impactful research project, is a critical aspect of this K01, applications are strongly encouraged early in the postdoctoral eligibility window. By the end of the proposed K01 award period, the candidate should be poised to begin an independent research career with a well-developed, impactful research project and the expertise required to become a leader in the field.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial, as part of their research and career development.

This funding opportunity supports research and evaluation projects that aim to improve strategies for preventing and addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, targeting a range of eligible applicants including local governments, nonprofits, and educational institutions.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to various government and nonprofit organizations to improve access to medical forensic examinations for sexual assault survivors through the development and expansion of specialized programs and services.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support research on interdisciplinary population approaches to increasing awareness of the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk, understanding and changing social norms related to alcohol consumption, developing and/or evaluating alcohol policy approaches, and the development, testing, and implementation of population-level interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk. Applications that address multiple levels of consumption, such as moderate and heavy drinking, are of particular interest, as well as those focusing on alcohol use disorder (AUD) from the perspective of cancer prevention and control. Proposals addressing understudied areas are encouraged, as is attention to underrepresented minority (URM) populations experiencing cancer and alcohol-related disparities such as American Indian, Alaskan Native, and sexual and gender minority populations.

The primary goal of this Institutional Research Training Grant is to provide short-term training for medical students to obtain necessary aging research experiences and technical expertise and skills early during their education to encourage them to pursue careers in research. Other health professional students may also benefit from such short-term training and are eligible when research training is a minor part of, or nonexistent in, their doctoral program. This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

This 5-year projects purpose is to continue collaboration with counterparts in China to reduce the threat of infectious disease transmission, in China, the U.S. and the world. This collaboration contributes to enhancing the technical collaboration, scientific exchange, and effective communication to promote health through trusted and robust partnerships between U.S. CDC and counterparts in China. The program has three broad goals: 1) strengthen public health systems and workforce capacity, 2) decrease the burden of TB, and 3) reduce influenza morbidity and mortality and enhance preparedness for pandemic threats. Activities may include joint investigations and monitoring of disease outbreaks, piloting innovative public health interventions, translating programmatic success to practice and policy, working in third countries to jointly respond to a public health emergency, and promoting rapid and transparent dissemination of public health data. This collaboration strives to leverage the expertise in China to share knowledge and evidence-based science for a bi-lateral exchange that mutually benefits the U.S. and China. By identifying governmental, non-governmental, multilateral, and private sector organizations in China, the partnership builds sustainable expertise and capacity in global health security and public health systems. Depending on funding availability and priorities, the specific infectious disease entities to be addressed can change over the period of performance.
