NOFO Number: PAR-25-326
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Notice Type: PAR
The purpose of this NOFO is to provide investigators with a mechanism to access contract research/medical organizations (CROs/CMOs) and subject matter experts (SMEs) within the NINDS Ultra-Rare Gene-based Therapy (URGenT) Network to support planning, manufacturing, and limited nonclinical therapeutic development efforts.
Translational Efforts to Advance Gene-based Therapies for Ultra-Rare Neurological and Neuromuscular Disorders (U01 - Clinical Trial Optional)
Expiration Date: Saturday, October 9, 2027
NOFO Number: PAR-25-327
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Notice Type: PAR
The Ultra-Rare Gene-Based Therapy (URGenT) network supports Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies and planning activities for First-in-Human (FIH) clinical testing of gene-based or transcript-directed therapeutics, such as oligonucleotides and viral-based gene therapies, for ultra-rare neurological or neuromuscular disorders. The goal of this announcement is to accelerate the development of a promising clinical candidate with robust biological rationale and demonstrated proof of concept (POC) data for the intended approach in a model system relevant to a specified patient population towards an IND filing and the initiation of a clinical trial.

Expiration Date: Saturday, January 8, 2028
NOFO Number: PA-25-301
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Notice Type: PA
The NIH Research Project Grant supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed project in areas representing the specific interests and competencies of the investigator(s). The proposed project must be related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) based on their scientific missions. This Notice of Funding Opportunity does not accept applications proposing clinical trial(s).
NIH Small Research Grant Program (Parent R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)
Expiration Date: Saturday, January 8, 2028
NOFO Number: PA-25-303
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Notice Type: PA
The NIH Research Project Grant supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed project in areas representing the specific interests and competencies of the investigator(s). This Parent Notice of Funding Opportunity is for basic science experimental studies involving humans, 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. Types of studies that should submit under this NOFO include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes in humans for the purpose of understanding the fundamental aspects of phenomena without specific application towards processes or products in mind. Studies conducted with specific applications toward processes or products in mind should submit under the appropriate Clinical Trials Required or Clinical Trial Optional NOFO. The proposed project must be related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) based on their scientific missions.
