The purpose of this Notice is to announce the intention of National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to reissue RFA-NS-21-021 to solicit applications for research pursuing translational activities and small clinical studies to advance the development of low risk therapeutic and diagnostic devices for disorders that affect the nervous or neuromuscular systems. 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. This NOFO will utilize the R61/R33 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.

This funding opportunity provides $2 million to support innovative research projects focused on developing resources and strategies for preventing firearm injuries, targeting a wide range of eligible organizations including nonprofits, educational institutions, and government entities.

The purpose of this NOFO is to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases by building public health entomology capacity within regional networks around the globe to improve surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance. Key objectives include developing and expanding regional expertise in surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance; formalizing and encouraging mechanisms for information exchange between public health entomologists; strengthening networks and through them improve the public health impact of vector control and emergency response preparedness; and long-term sustainability of networks. Additionally, this project will build on ongoing work with to strengthen preparedness and response capacity for arboviral outbreaks through implementation and evaluation of sterile insect technique (SIT) in the Pacific to reduce vectors and risk for arboviral diseases. The project will evaluate SIT in the field in 3 Pacific Island countries/territories at-risk for Aedes-borne diseases to build the evidence base for implementing such tools to improve public health outcomes. Additional activities include continued technical and coordination support for entomological and epidemiological aspects of the SIT evaluation, reviewing outcomes at trial mid- and end-points, assessing cost-effectiveness of SIT, exploring opportunities to support SIT projects in Paraguay and Argentina considering recent Aedes-borne disease, and working with partners to promote large-scale, robustly designed SIT trials in different eco-epidemiological settings.

This funding opportunity supports large-scale clinical trials aimed at improving the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of vision disorders, providing essential resources and services to a wide range of eligible organizations, including universities, nonprofits, and businesses.

The purpose of the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program is to improve the health outcomes and quality of life for populations at increased risk for the development of radiogenic cancers and/or disease resulting from exposure to radioactive materials through uranium mine industry work or fallout from nuclear arms testing. The United States conducted 227 above-ground and 828 below-ground nuclear weapons tests between July 1945 and November 1962. Many of the above-ground tests released radioactive material into the atmosphere. That material reached the ground as nuclear fallout. The dangers of radiation exposure were unknown at the time. Workers did not receive protection. People who lived near the test sites were not warned of potential dangers or told to evacuate. Workers and residents had radiation exposure from touching fallout on the ground, breathing polluted air, eating polluted foods, and drinking polluted water. People exposed to radiation generated by the nuclear weapons tests are at risk for certain cancers and other serious health problems.

This program provides funding to develop and sustain new residency training programs in rural areas, aiming to address physician shortages and improve healthcare access in underserved communities.

This funding opportunity supports the creation of essential research resources for biomedical studies related to infectious diseases, immune disorders, and vaccine development, aimed at a wide range of public and private organizations.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for Native American communities to develop sustainable economic projects, preserve cultural heritage, and enhance local infrastructure and social systems.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for organizations to develop and implement strategies that improve health equity and reduce health disparities among underserved women and girls, particularly those from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds.

This grant provides funding for innovative research and development of biomedical technologies and diving equipment to improve the safety and effectiveness of military personnel operating in extreme underwater environments.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) invites applications to develop and maintain a (NSC3). The goal of the NSC3 is to provide logistical and organization support of the NSC. Applicants should be familiar with Nathan Shock Centers (NSC) activities, but they do not need to be part of an NSC. Major activities of the proposed NSC3 will include improving visibility of the NSC nationally and internationally, improving collaboration and coordination among NSC, enhancing NSC training activities, facilitating the sharing of resources, and interacting with NIA and NSC to develop strategies and plans for further development. The successful application will include a plan to improve transparency and the interactions of NSC with the research community. It should also leverage existing bioinformatics resources. The NSC3 director will be a participant in the NIA's Research Centers Collaborative Network.
