The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at its Mission in Southern Africa through the Bilateral Health Office (BHO) is publishing this Request for Information to obtain information and input from all interested entities, U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, on a potential future HIV Prevention among Adolescent Girls and Young Women and Other Vulnerable Youth Populations (North) Activity (also referred to as DREAMS North) and or HIV Prevention among Adolescent Girls and Young Women and Other Vulnerable Youth Populations (South) Activity (also referred to as DREAMS South). The information will be used to help make planning decisions and may inform activity design to improve future development outcomes. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information gathering purposes and is published inaccordance with FAR Part 10 and FAR 15.201(e).

This grant provides funding to specialized clinics for collecting and analyzing long-term health data on individuals with spina bifida, aiming to improve care and health outcomes for patients of all ages.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects that explore how T-cells contribute to HIV infection and related brain complications, targeting researchers from various institutions and organizations.

This funding opportunity supports innovative educational projects that engage K-12 students and teachers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, particularly targeting individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.

The purpose of the Paul Calabresi Career Development Award for Clinical Oncology (PCACO) is to increase the number of clinician-scientists trained in clinical and translational cancer research, and to promote their career development as cancer researchers. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) allows appointment of Scholars proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary study to an existing trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development.

The Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network for Biologics (BPN-Biologics) provides support for biologic-based therapeutic discovery and development, from lead optimization through phase I clinical testing. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports preclinical discovery and development of potential therapeutic Biotechnology Products and Biologics including, but not limited to, large biologic macromolecules, (e.g., proteins, antibodies, and peptides), gene-based therapies (i.e., oligonucleotide- and viral-based), cell therapies, and novel emerging therapies (e.g., microbial and microbiome therapies). Applicants will collaborate with NIH-funded consultants and can augment their project with NIH contract research organizations (CROs) that specialize in manufacturing, scaling, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and Phase I clinical testing. BPN-Biologics awardee institutions retain their assignment of IP rights and gain assignment of IP rights from the BPN-Biologics contractors (and thereby control the patent prosecution and licensing negotiations) for biotherapeutic candidates developed in this program.

This funding opportunity supports small pilot projects that enhance understanding of the human virome, inviting collaborations from various organizations, including educational institutions and nonprofits, to develop innovative tools and methods for studying the interactions between viruses and human health.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications proposing innovative transdisciplinary research that integrates approaches across social/cognitive neuroscience and other social sciences and will lead to 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 specifically soliciting applications proposing BESH research, 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. Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.

The "Short Courses on Utilizing the NIH Stage Model to Develop Behavioral Interventions to Promote Healthy Aging" grant aims to fund the creation of short educational programs that teach researchers how to use the NIH Stage Model to develop non-drug interventions that encourage healthy aging and improve care for older adults.

The "NIA Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (REDI): Mentored Entrepreneurial Career Development Award (K01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" grant aims to provide financial support and entrepreneurial training to postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty in biomedical, social, or behavioral sciences, to foster their transition to research independence and potentially launch careers in industry, scientific business development, or academia, with a special focus on aging and Alzheimer's disease research.
