| | | | This FOA invites applications for support of pre-clinical studies to repurpose existing experimental or FDA approved drugs or biologics (existing therapeutics) that have already begun or completed at least a Phase l trial. The hypothesis for proposed studies must be developed using innovative processes to identify the therapeutic/indication pair. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The intent of the funding is to provide support for generating clinical data that will make future award applications competitive upon submission to the NIH. Projects may address diagnostic or therapeutic methods related to cystic fibrosis or the pathophysiology of CF, and applicants must demonstrate access to a sufficient number of CF patients from CF Foundation-accredited care centers and to appropriate controls. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The award funds projects in health services research, medical education, adolescent medicine, public health, epidemiology, emergency medicine, child maltreatment, hospitalist medicine, developmental/behavioral pediatrics, and other general pediatric clinical research domains. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism seeks to continue support of the previously funded program on Translational Research in Alcoholic Hepatitis to accelerate the discovery and validation of new diagnostic and treatment options for patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH). This initiative, via a set of five FOAs, aims to enhance and consolidate the existing program into AH Clinical and Translational Network, hereafter termed AH Network. This consolidated program will consist of 1) Clinical component, 2) Data Coordinating Center, 3) Translational component, and 4) Basic and pre-clinical component. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | This FOA is a part of an initiative designed to establish a Liver Cancer Consortium to advance translational research focused on early detection of liver cancer. The Consortium will consist of several Translational Research Centers (TRCs, to be supported by this U01 FOA) and a Data Management and Coordinating Center (DMCC, to be supported a companion U24 FOA, RFA-CA-17-028). | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The BD2K Training Coordinating Center (TCC) has developed the RoAD-Trip program which provides fellowship support to junior biomedical scientists who possess unique and compelling biomedical data sets. The program matches junior scientists who wish to integrate their prior training and experience with senior-level data scientists with mentoring skills, access to technology, and other resources to assist with novel data analyses. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Join the Science Alliance webinar to learn best practices for effective grantsmanship, specifically applied to the NIH K99/R00 career transition grant application with Dr. Jaime Rubin. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The goal of the Course is to train junior faculty and fellows from academic medical centers across the nation to become proficient in biostatistical methodology and statistical computing. Participants will received seven weeks of online, basic and intermediate statistical theory instruction as well as five days of in-person, hands-on instruction in statistical computing. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The purpose of this program is to recruit and retain outstanding, postdoctoral-level health professionals who have demonstrated potential and interest in pursuing careers as clinician-investigators. To address the growing need for this critical component of the research workforce, this funding opportunity seeks applications from institutional programs that can provide outstanding mentored research opportunities for Resident-Investigators and foster their ability to transition to individual career development research awards. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | NCATS is accepting proposals to collaborate with its Bridging Interventional Development Gaps (BrIDGs) and Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program scientists. BrIDGs scientists collaborate with researchers to advance candidate therapeutics for both common and rare diseases into clinical testing. TRND researchers and their collaborators move new therapeutic candidates through pre-clinical testing, from lead optimization to submission of an investigational new drug application. | | | | Read More | | |
