The National Institutes of Health (NIH) participating Institutes and Centers, in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) support the Regenerative Medicine Innovation Project (RMIP), which aims to explore and enable the development of safe and effective regenerative medicine (RM) interventions using adult stem cells. Before a research team undertakes a clinical trial, it is critical to have clear delineation and documentation of the trials rationale, design, analytic techniques, protocols, and procedures in a Manual of Procedures (MOP). Additionally, there are other elements essential to the launching of a trial, such as obtaining regulatory authorizations or approvals and establishing agreements with requisite partners including cell manufacturing and production facilities, assay or cell analysis centers, and data coordinating centers. These activities are often costly and time-consuming, and they may involve collection of preliminary data to assess feasibility. Applicants may use the RMIP Clinical Trial Planning Grant to support the preparation of a clinical trial MOP and procedures necessary for implementing a clinical trial to evaluate interventions (or new treatments) that explore and enable the evaluation of the safety and/or efficacy of RM interventions using adult stem cells that are not of embryonic or fetal origin. Due to the complex nature of requirements in this FOA (e.g., 1:1 matching funds, resource sharing), applicants are strongly encouraged to communicate with the appropriate NIH Scientific/Research Contact and review online Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) prior to submitting an application. Staff will be able to advise applicants in determining if their research meets the requirements and objectives of this FOA.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the early-stage development of therapeutics to mitigate the adverse health effects resulting from toxic chemical exposure. Chemical threats are toxic compounds that could be used in a terrorist attack or accidentally released from industrial production, storage or shipping. They include specific chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceutical-based agents. The overall scope of this solicitation includes validation of therapeutic targets and preclinical characterization of lead compounds. The UG3 phase of this FOA supports target validation and characterization of initial lead compound(s); UH3 phase activities include candidate optimization and in vivo demonstration of activity and efficacy in relevant post-exposure models. At the conclusion of the overall UG3/UH3 funding period, projects are expected to deliver at least one well-characterized therapeutic candidate.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for basic and translational research on the impact of the microbiome on Alzheimers Disease and Alzheimers Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). While there is growing evidence that the microbiome is an important factor that contributes to overall health and a variety of diseases and disorders, the role of the alimentary canal and other sources of endogenous microbiota in specific AD/ADRDs has not been adequately addressed. This FOA will support mechanistic research focused on a more rigorous in-depth examination of the potential interactions between the microbiome and genetic and non-genetic molecular targets that influence AD/ADRD. It is expected that these studies will address the clinical relevance of the microbiome on disease initiation, progression, or modification, and will lead ultimately to better therapeutic interventions.

The purpose of this initiative is to solicit applications for Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Centers. These Centers promote collaborative basic, translational, and clinical research, and provide important resources that can be used by the national muscular dystrophy research community. The Centers also provide outstanding environments for the training of new scientists electing to pursue careers conducting research in high priority areas of muscular dystrophy. Furthermore, Center investigators participate in community outreach efforts to increase awareness and convey the importance and implications of their research activities to the patient and advocacy communities.

The purpose of the FOA is to support the structural characterization of protein species associated with Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (ADRDs) through the utilization of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) of proteins expressed in human tissue and cell sources. Studies in response to this RFA should also include the development of research tools and resources to further characterize/validate the protein species. This FOA is in response to the Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) challenges outlined in the 2019 update to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The aim of this FOA is to support research that may lead to the development of innovative products and/or services that have the potential to advance progress in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) and/or caring for and treating patients living with AD/ADRD.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) program. The aim of this FOA is to support research that may lead to the development of innovative products and/or services with the potential to advance progress in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) and/or caring for and treating patients living with AD/ADRD.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits R01 grant applications that propose independent research projects that are within the scientific mission areas of the ?participating NIH Institutes or Centers. This program is intended to support New Investigators and At-Risk Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the health-related sciences.Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups (e.g., see NOT-OD-20-031, Notice of NIHs Interest in Diversity), are eligible to apply. Investigators from categories A and B are particularly encouraged to work with their institutions to apply
