The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this BD2K R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) Enhancing Diversity in Biomedical Data Science (R25) program is to support educational activities that enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences and curriculum or methods development.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research grant applications to support research designed to elucidate the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and optimal means of service delivery in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and participating Institutes invite applications for the Autism Centers of Excellence: Networks Program, hereafter termed ACE Networks. Each ACE Network will consist of a multi-site project focusing on a specific topic of research for R01 support through this FOA. Each ACE Network will submit one R01 application that includes sub-awards to the collaborating sites. A companion FOA (RFA-HD-16-009) invites applications for ACE Centers supported by the P50 mechanism.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and participating Institutes invite applications for the Autism Centers of Excellence: Centers Program, hereafter termed ACE Centers. The P50 mechanism allows for integrative, multi-disciplinary, coordinated programs of research that demonstrate cohesion and synergy across research projects and cores. A companion FOA (RFA-HD-17-008) invites applications for ACE Networks supported by the R01 mechanism.

The NIH Common Fund has established the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) to develop a pediatric research data resource populated by genome sequence and phenotype data that will be of high value for the communities of investigators who study the genetics of childhood cancers and/or structural birth defects. The overall goal of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource is to help researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of these conditions, leading to more refined diagnostic capabilities and ultimately more targeted therapies, as well as to develop an integrated pediatric research data resource by obtaining and aggregating genome sequence and phenotype data for as many relevant structural birth defects and pediatric cancer cohorts as possible and to advance research in this area through the broad sharing of these data with the research community. This FOA is intended to promote meritorious small research projects focused on the development and analyses of childhood cancer and/or structural birth defects datasets that are part of the Kids First Data Resource or could be included in the Kids First Data Resource. Development of statistical methodology appropriate for analyzing genome-wide data relevant to childhood cancer and/or structural birth defects may also be proposed.

The objective of the NIH Career Transition Award (K22) is to provide support to outstanding basic or clinical investigators to develop their independent research skills through a two phase program: an initial period involving an intramural appointment at the NIH and a final period of support at an extramural institution. This NINDS K22 is specifically designed to facilitate the transition of NINDS intramural neurologist- and neurosurgeon-scientists to independent, academic faculty positions that support clinician-scientists to engage in independently funded scientific research as well as clinical activities.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications from United States institutions with a Russian institution partner in collaboration with the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) to establish Collaborative Research Partnerships (CRP) in the field of HIV/AIDS research. The research that is solicited under this announcement is directed toward increasing the knowledge and understanding in biomedical and bio-behavioral topics that aim to impact HIV/AIDS and HIV-associated co-infections, comorbidities, and complications.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement solicits Planning Grant applications to convene new transdisciplinary research consortia and formalize the multi-institutional organizational structure necessary to resolve an essential challenge in Parkinson's disease (PD) through a subsequent, transformative Center without Walls (CWOW) approach. The most compelling applications will: (i) identify and justify a fundamental PD research priority; (ii) build an exemplary collaborative team; and (iii) demonstrate exceptional potential to pursue a targeted, thematically integrated strategy to remove a critical impediment blocking advancement of the understanding and treatment of PD. Consortia must include the optimal combination of specialized expertise required to address the stated challenge using a goal-driven approach; teams must be anchored by at least one PD researcher and include at least one investigator with primary expertise in another research area. The Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) must be eminently qualified to provide visionary scientific leadership and effective oversight of consortium administrative activities. The applicant site must demonstrate ability to lead and coordinate administrative activities of the consortium; all participating sites must demonstrate leadership in their area of scientific expertise, as well as propensity to leverage existing resources and technologies to meet stated goals. To foster dynamic collaborations, this FOA will provide support to convene and formalize the organizational structure of novel research consortia; planning activities for continuation of established projects and teams will not be supported. Research activities or the establishment of research resource infrastructure are also out of initiative scope, as are projects proposing questions that represent incremental advances for PD. Applications should highlight expected end products of planning activities as well as significance of a subsequent CWOW effort. Successful planning efforts will lead directly to an application for support of an NINDS Morris K. Udall Center without Walls for Parkinsons Disease Research (Udall PD-CWOW; U54).
