| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) allows appointment of Scholars proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary clinical trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development. The clinical trial must be a NIH-defined clinical trial. Scholars may also propose fundamental research or human subjects research that is not a clinical trial. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the evaluation of early stage diagnostics and novel diagnostic strategies for Tuberculosis (TB) in the context of existing clinical algorithms in TB endemic countries. Evaluation studies should: 1) perform proof-of principle studies of novel diagnostic tests and strategies and 2) provide feedback to diagnostic developers on the performance of the technologies and most effective strategies for use of the diagnostic technologies in an endemic setting. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research to address gaps in our knowledge of the oral health status of people living with HIV (PLWH) with an emphasis on PWLH who also have non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It supports efforts to understand the combined effects of HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and NCDs on oral health, and it encourages identification of approaches for prevention and treatment of oral diseases and assessment of treatment outcomes in PLWH with or without NCDs. These efforts could help to generate evidence for oral health treatment guidelines tailored to the needs of dental patients with HIV. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support the next stage of development for cancer-relevant projects that were previously funded under SBIR or STTR Phase II awards from any Federal agency. The purpose of this FOA is to facilitate the transition of SBIR or STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage. This FOA is expected to promote partnerships between Federally-funded SBIR or STTR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners to facilitate and accelerate the capital-intensive steps that are required to commercialize new products and services. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Courses run from January 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 - Contact Yoav Gilad, gilad@uchicago.edu or Jonathan Burnett jburnett1@uchicago.edu for details. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) are often used as "feeder cells" in human embryonic stem cell research. We estimate that 15 million MEF cells are required for the reprogramming of a single iPSC line. The core can provide high quality MEF cells (at least 90% viability) for researchers, at a cost of $225 for 15M cells (or $15 for each aliquot of 1M MEF cells). | | | | Read More | | |
