| | | | Georgia CTSA's Biostatistics, Epidemiology & Research Design (BERD) program is soliciting proposals to support novel methodological research in biostatistics, epidemiology, or health economics to advance clinical and translational research (CTR). Review criteria include: (i.) quantitative methodological research to fill gaps in CTR; (ii.) innovation; (iii.) feasibility; and (iv.) plans for dissemination and translation of results. Awardees are encouraged to disseminate any software developed in their research to CTSpedia, an online knowledge base for CTR, as well as other relevant publicly available software repositories. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The SOM Imagine, Innovate and Impact (I3) Venture Awards solicit innovative research proposals to catalyze promising early-stage concepts with commercial potential that do not yet qualify for funding from external sources. The I3 Venture Research Awards aim to cultivate inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs driven to solve medicine's challenges and create patient impact. In the current round, grants will be considered for: Proposals with the potential to shape, de-risk, or scale up a potential new drug or technology in medicine (diagnostic, therapeutic, device or software) in less than one year. If successful, the proposal would ready the project for the next stage of translation (not necessarily to market readiness). Particularly creative ideas, even without preliminary data, will be considered provided compelling impact, feasibility and commercial potential is demonstrated. Proposals due by 5:00pm on April 1st. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | To aid Emory investigators in generating preliminary data for grant applications and speed the development and validation of standard operating procedures, the Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core (IEMC) is announcing a single particle cryo-EM pilot program. We intend to select and fully fund 4 Pilot Projects for the investigators to get accustomed to the standard workflow in single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis and to provide data on research projects for future grants. We also consider these pilot projects as an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the core. These pilot projects encompass the complete analysis from biological specimen to three-dimensional structure, which involves cryo-sample preparation, data collection, data processing and analysis. The IEMC core will subsidize the entire cost related to these pilot projects.
Submit proposals to Michael Zwick (Mailto:mzwick@emory.edu). The deadline will be April 15, 2019. Initial awardees will be notified by May 1, 2019.

| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for projects that propose to test late-stage (T4) implementation research strategies for optimally and sustainably delivering proven-effective, evidence-based multi--level interventions to reduce or eliminate cardiovascular and/or pulmonary health disparities, and that promote and improve population health in high-burden communities. For the purpose of this FOA, late-stage (T4) implementation research is defined as research to identify strategies to achieve sustainable uptake of proven-effective interventions in routine clinical and public health practice and community-based settings and maximize the positive impact on population health. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish core centers that are part of an integrated and existing program of nutrition and/or obesity research. The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC) program is designed to support and enhance the national research effort in nutrition and obesity. NORCs support three primary research-related activities: Research Core services, a Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) program, and an Enrichment program. All activities pursued by Nutrition Obesity Research Centers are designed to enhance the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness and multidisciplinary nature of research in nutrition and obesity. The NIDDK Nutrition Obesity Research Centers program consists of 12 Centers, each located at outstanding research institutions with documented programs of excellence in nutrition and/or obesity research. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The DDRCCs are part of an integrated program of digestive and liver diseases research support provided by the NIDDK. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators as a means to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases. DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding. | | | | Read More | | |
