Expiration Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2023 NOFO Number: PAR-23-161 Release Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Notice Type: PAR
NCATS is issuing this FOA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS. Please see Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Opioid Crisis as renewed in Renewal of the Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Continued Consequences of the Opioid Crisis.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from early and mid-career investigators (i.e. postdoctoral fellow/associates associate professor) who strive to expand their research trajectories through the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in the areas of therapeutic drug, biologic, or device development.
Expiration Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2023 NOFO Number: RFA-TR-23-011 Release Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Notice Type: RFA
NCATS is issuing this FOA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS. Please see Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Opioid Crisis as renewed in Renewal of the Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Continued Consequences of the Opioid Crisis.The Helping End Addiction Long-Term (HEAL) New Innovator Award supports a postdoctoral or newly independent Early Stage Investigator of exceptional creativity who proposes novel, original and insightful research concepts with the potential to produce a major impact, test scientific paradigms, or advance key concepts on broad, important problems in biomedical research related to pain, opioid use disorder (OUD), and/or overdose (OD). Applications proposing unexpected convergence of disciplines, new scientific directions, or the use of novel methodologies are encouraged.

NCATS is issuing this FOA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS. Please see Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Opioid Crisis as renewed in Renewal of the Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists Nationwide as the Result of the Continued Consequences of the Opioid Crisis.The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support early-stage research projects focusing on the identification of new druggable targets for pain, opioid use disorder and/or overdose within the understudied druggable proteome. This FOA is part of the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long Term (HEAL) initiative to accelerate the development of novel medications to treat all aspects of the opioid addiction cycle, including progression to chronic use, withdrawal symptoms, craving, relapse, and overdose.
Expiration Date: Saturday, October 21, 2023 NOFO Number: PAR-23-154 Release Date: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 Notice Type: PAR
"This FOA would support development and validation of clinically relevant models of AD/ADRD including post-TBI dementias. Models could include small animals, larger animals, ex vivo models, human iPSCs, or other in vitro models. Validation includes internal, face, construct, and predictive (to the extent possible) validation. Such validations could include looking at underlying mechanism/pathways, functional imaging, behavior, and other cognitive readouts. Independent replication is also encouraged. These models can be developed/validated with the goal of supporting therapy development or better understanding of human disease mechanisms and mechanisms that uncover predisposition to developing neurodegenerative dementias. Either way, it is essential that models reflect the human condition as much as possible. Novel models of complex pathology or comorbid conditions are encouraged. Such models could include multiple manipulations (genetics, environment, lifestyle, age, etc.) to better reflect the complex interaction of risk factors in patients. New models need to be innovative and address a gap in the currently available models."
Expiration Date: Friday, June 16, 2023 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-24-022 Release Date: Monday, April 3, 2023 Notice Type: RFA
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Collaborative Research Centers (CRC). The overarching goal of this initiative is to establish a network of Centers that will work collaboratively to define the cause(s) of and discover improved treatments for ME/CFS. A more immediate goal for each Center is to rapidly advance synergistic, interdisciplinary research programs while serving as local resources and national leaders in ME/CFS research. Successful CRC research programs will facilitate research in ME/CFS through conducting of 1) collaborative basic and/or clinical research on ME/CFS; 2) longitudinal studies of individuals with ME/CFS within each ME/CFS CRC and across CRCs within the network; 3) access to information related to ME/CFS for basic and clinical researchers, academic and practicing physicians, healthcare professionals, patients, and the lay public. Clinical data and biospecimen sharing are required, and data management for efficient data collection and data sharing, as well as biospecimen sharing will be addressed through the separate data management and coordinating center (DMCC). Institutions must be committed to the establishment and continuation of the proposed ME/CFS CRC. Funding decisions will focus on those applications most likely to make highly impactful contributions to ME/CFS research, as well as on those with the greatest potential to collaborate effectively across the ME/CFS CRC program.
Expiration Date: Saturday, July 15, 2023 NOFO Number: RFA-MH-23-130 Release Date: Friday, March 31, 2023 Notice Type: RFA
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for creating the Data Coordination and Artificial Intelligence Center (DCAIC) for the Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) Consortium of the BRAIN Initiative. The FOA will support a single award to a multi-disciplinary team with a single or multiple PIs working on the five interrelated areas:1) Data Management; 2) Data Standards; 3) ML/AI Resources; 4) Data Ecosystem; and 5) Dissemination, Training and Coordination.
Research Category: CounterACT Expiration Date: Friday, June 2, 2023 NOFO Number: NOT-AI-23-037 Release Date: Thursday, March 30, 2023 Notice Type: Notice of Special Interest Contact: Shardell M. Spriggs

The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to highlight NIAIDs interest in supporting research aimed at a collaboration between recipients funded via the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) and Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP). These collaborations between RNCP- and CCRP-supported researchers will generate data that can be leveraged for new medical countermeasures (MCMs) discovery and early development funding and enhance the state-of-the-science in both research areas.

Expiration Date: Saturday, February 3, 2024 NOFO Number: RFA-NS-23-021 Release Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 Notice Type: RFA
The purpose of thisNotice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)is to invite applicationsfocused on theneurological and neuropsychiatric manifestationsof COVID-19 (neuro-COVID) andPost-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (neuro-PASC) and on the effect of COVID-19 on pre-infection neurologic conditions. Applications investigating the pathophysiology and mechanisms of neuro-COVID and neuro-PASC and neurologically-focused human subjects research, as well as those proposing studies of scientifically compelling pathways to prevent the development of neuro-PASC or to accelerate the development of effective treatments forPASC-related neurological complications are of particular interest for this NOFO.
