The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications proposing mechanistic transdisciplinary research in animal models that integrates approaches across social/cognitive neuroscience with perspectives from fields with complementary approaches to the study of social behavior, with the goal of developing a testable conceptual or computational model that provides mechanistic insights into social behavior and its relationships with the onset, trajectory and impact of Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and comorbidities. This NOFO is intended to support basic or translational research in non-human animal models, including secondary analysis of data from research in animal models. Applications including studies involving human subjects should submit under one of the companion NOFOs.

The purpose of the SAP program is to advance equity in health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities, especially all Black female identities, including cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, and genderqueer/fluid individuals in the South who are experiencing disparities related to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis (VH), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs), and/or mental health conditions.

The overarching goal of the supported research projects will be to determine neural and cognitive mechanisms that underlie the relationship between social cognition/behavior and the SUD trajectory. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications proposing mechanistic, transdisciplinary research on social behavior and its relationships with the onset, trajectory, and impact of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and comorbidities. This NOFO is intended to support basic or early translational studies that may, but need not, be considered NIH clinical trials; this may include mechanistic clinical trials, observational studies, or secondary analysis of human data. Clinical trials supported by this funding opportunity are limited to mechanistic clinical trials. A mechanistic clinical trial is designed to understand a biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, biomarkers for a disease or response to treatment, or the mechanism of action of an intervention. It is not designed to test the safety or demonstrate the efficacy/effectiveness of an intervention. This NOFO is not intended to support studies designed to test the safety or demonstrate the efficacy of an intervention. Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.

The NIH Research Education Program (UE5) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NIDCR UE5 program is to support educational activities that enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) research workforce. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Mentoring Activities Courses for Skills Development The major goal of this funding opportunity is to establish a mentoring network and grant writing skills that will facilitate a diverse pool of early career investigators, including those from groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research (see NOT-OD-20-031), to advance their research careers and transition to independent research careers. This funding opportunity invites applications from senior faculty, experienced mentors and experienced researchers of higher education institutions and professional societies and organizations with existing federally funded programs to develop and direct a mentoring network for eligible early career investigators (post doctorates and junior faculty). Proposed programs are expected to contribute to the development of a skilled cadre of investigators in requisite scientific research areas to advance the objectives of the NIDCR Strategic Plan.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for Diabetes Research Centers (DRCs) that are designed to support and enhance the national research effort in diabetes, its complications, and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators to enhance communication, multidisciplinary collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research in Diabetes Research Center topic areas. By providing shared access to specialized technical resources (research cores) and supporting a Pilot and Feasibility Program (P and F), DRCs are intended to create an environment that provides the capability for accomplishments greater than those that would be possible by individual research project grant support alone. New Center programs that bring in diverse perspectives, propose unique scientific themes, or provide innovative resources are encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on Center programs that propose enhanced synergies with other NIDDK-funded programs as well as providing a rich mentoring environment for future diabetes researchers. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
