| |
| | | | Through this limited PFA, PCORI seeks to fund projects designed to actively disseminate and implement the research results and products using approaches that are informed and guided by established dissemination and implementation models and frameworks, in the context of real world settings. Successful applications will propose context appropriate strategies that address how research results and products are packaged, transmitted, interpreted, and delivered to diverse patient and stakeholder groups. | | | | Learn More | | |
| |
| | | | Pfizer's CTI program pairs leading researchers with Pfizer resources to help the scientists pursue scientific and medical advances through joint therapeutic development. Goals include identifying biologic compounds with activity in a pathway or target of interest to an NIH intramural researcher and to Pfizer and moving the compounds into the clinic to test them. | | | | Submit Here | | |
| |
| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement solicits applications for support of pre-clinical studies to repurpose existing drugs or biologics (therapeutics) that have already been through at least a Phase l trial. The hypothesis for proposed studies must be developed using innovative processes to identify the therapeutic/indication pair. | | | | RFA-TR-16-015 | | |
| |
| | | | The goal of this FOA is to support pilot testing of natural products (i.e., botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics), which have a strong scientific premise to justify further clinical testing. | | | | PAR-16-418 | | |
| |
| | | | This FOA solicits resource grant applications for projects that will bring useful, usable health information to health disparity populations and their health care providers. | | | | FRA-LM-17-002 | | |
| |
| | | | In this introductory session, Dr. Becky Kinkead will be covering everything you need to know about grants for postdocs: how to find grants to apply to, what's so special about a fellowship award, how to prepare and how to keep your biosketch up to date using SciENcv and more. This session is for new postdocs and those who did not attend any grants tutorials yet. | | | | Learn More | | |
