Find Funding Opportunities

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages administrative supplements for the NINDS Research Education Program for Residents and Fellows in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology and Emergency Medicine (R25, PAR-13-384, RFA-NS-10-002, RFA-NS-09-001)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement invites an application to create a Connectome Coordination Facility. The competition is limited to the U54 awardees of RFA-MH-10-020. The goal of this award is to (1) maintain a central data repository for Human Connectome data; (2) create a helpdesk service to answer questions from investigators who are trying to collect data that are compatible with the existing Human Connectome data; and (3) to serve, in a limited capacity, as a quality control for new data that are being deposited.

The purpose of this initiative is to detect, characterize and measure the progression of neurodegeneration in individuals with a probable or possible diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) using brain imaging and other biomarkers. The overall goals are increased knowledge concerning the neurological mechanisms and ways to detect CTE as it evolves over a 3 - 5 year period and the development of a consensus diagnosis to inform clinical trials aimed at preventing or slowing disease progression in the future.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue translational and clinical studies for therapeutic devices to treat neurological disorders. The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) or IRB approval for a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) study and the following clinical study. It is expected the immediate next steps upon completion of the clinical study will be a 510(k)/510(k) De Novo submission or a larger clinical trial that will lead directly to a 510(k)/510(k) De Novo submission. Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, preclinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, pursuit of regulatory approval for the clinical study, and a small clinical study.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue translational and Early Feasibility Studies for therapeutic devices to treat neurological disorders. The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), with the option of also supporting the following Early Feasibility Study. It is expected the immediate next steps upon completion of the Early Feasibility Study will be a full Feasibility Study and a Pivotal Trial in support of a PMA (Pre-Market Approval) or HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption). Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, preclinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, pursuit of regulatory approval for the clinical study, and an Early Feasibility Study.

The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) or IRB approval for a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) study and the following clinical study. It is expected that the clinical study will inform a final device design that would have to go through most, if not all, of the preclinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval. This program also supports development of a device to test scientific hypotheses that are not feasible or practical to conduct in animal models, but are critical to enable next-generation devices. Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, preclinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, pursuit of regulatory approval for the clinical study, and a small clinical study.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages and assists the development of future leaders in the field of aging by supporting clinically trained (primarily physician) faculty members early in their careers to gain additional research training and to establish independent programs in aging research. The John A. Hartford Foundation (http://www.jhartfound.org/) and The American Federation for Aging Research (http://www.afar.org/) are interested in independently funding applications submitted under this initiative.
