| | | | NIH recently released more than 30 funding opportunities to solicit the best and brightest research ideas for more than $850 million in support of HEAL initiative research, bolstering existing research in the areas of addiction, pain, complementary medicine, and more to accelerate scientific solutions to the national opioid crisis. NCATS is providing a suite of translational science resources and expertise to investigators working on opioid and pain research. Information session on Thursday (see below in Events). Please notify Andrew West (awest2@emory.edu) if you or any of your colleagues are interested in participating in this effort. | | | | Read More | | |

This FOA intends to support disease-focused translational studies. The RISK R61/R33 FOAs are not intended to support clinical trials. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | The Foundation seeks proposals to reduce exposure to cardiovascular risk factors in young children and their families in underserved communities. It is interested in projects which maximize impact, such as addressing risk factors in more than one setting, engaging both primary caregivers and children, promoting stress reduction or targeting practices that affect access to healthier foods and physical activity. | | | | Read More | | |
