Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Research Supplements to Promote Re-Entry, Re-integration into, and Re-training in Health-Related Research Careers (Admin Supp - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Expiration Date: Friday, October 9, 2026
NOFO Number: NOT-OD-23-170
Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Notice Type: Notice of Special Interest
The goal of this program is to provide support for a mentored research training experience for individuals with high potential to re-enter, re-integrate into, or re-train in an active research career, after an interruption for family responsibilities or other qualifying circumstances as described below. This program encourages re-entry, re-integration, and re-training administrative supplement applications to existing NIH research grants to support full or part-time mentored research experiences by these individuals. The supplement grants are intended to provide these scientists an opportunity to update or extend their research skills and knowledge and prepare them to re-establish or revitalize their careers in basic biomedical, behavioral, clinical, translational, or social science research. It is anticipated that by the completion of the supplement support period, the re-entry/re-integration/re-training supplement awardee will be prepared to apply for a fellowship (F), career development (K) award, a research award (R), SBIR/STTR, or other types of independent research support.
Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Small Business Initiatives for Innovative tools and Technologies for Improving Outcomes for Maternal Health
Expiration Date: Sunday, September 6, 2026
NOFO Number: NOT-EB-23-005
Wednesday, July 26, 2023
Notice Type: Notice of Special Interest
The purpose of this trans-NIH Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to inform potential applicants that the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) invite SBIR/STTR applications to develop technologies or tools to quantitatively predict or indicate an increased risk for maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM). This NOSI is part of the Implementing a Maternal health and PRegnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) initiative, which supports research to reduce preventable causes of maternal deaths and improve health for women before, during, and after delivery.
BRAIN Initiative: Development and Validation of Novel Tools to Probe Cell-Specific and Circuit-Specific Processes in the Brain (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Expiration Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2027
NOFO Number: RFA-MH-24-280
Friday, June 16, 2023
Notice Type: RFA
The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application. The development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest or approaches that are expected to target specific cell types and/or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods are encouraged. Tools that can be used in a number of species/model organisms rather than those restricted to a single species are highly desired. Applications that provide approaches that break through existing technical barriers to substantially improve current capabilities are highly encouraged.
