NIH Mid-Career Enhancement Awards to Integrate Basic Behavioral, Biomedical, and/or Social Scientific Processes (K18) This FOA invites applications from investigators who strive to expand their research trajectories through the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in the areas of basic psychological processes, sociological processes, and/or biomedical pathways—expertise that is beyond and enhances their current areas of expertise. The program will support career development experiences and a small-scale research project that will provide experienced investigators with the scientific competencies required to conduct independent research projects that more thoroughly investigate interrelationships among behavioral, biological, endocrine, epigenetic, immune, inflammatory, neurological, psychological, and/or social processes. This program requires basic experimental studies with humans. |

NIH Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative Supplement for Continuity of Biomedical and Behavioral Research Among First-Time Recipients of NIH Research Project Grant Awards The overarching goal of this pilot program is to enhance the retention of investigators facing critical life events who are transitioning to the first renewal of their first independent research project grant award or to a second new NIH research project grant award. Retention at the first renewal or continuous NIH research project grant support is crucial for sustaining both the ongoing research NIH has made an investment in and for retaining diversity in the biomedical research workforce. Deadline: Varies by awarding IC |

NIH Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Use of Biological "High" or "Medium" Priority AIDS Research on Non-AIDS-defining or AIDS-defining Cancers The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to continue advancing our understanding of the risks, development, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of malignancies observed in individuals with an underlying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), particularly the non-AIDS defining malignancies which are now a leading cause of death in HIV-infected individuals. Research efforts that identify specific contributions of HIV infection and its potential interaction with other pathogens towards the development and pathogenesis of these cancers and provide information on the clinical outcomes of such cancers in the HIV-infected population are sought. Deadline: Applies to due dates on or after May 7, 2020 through January 8, 2023 |

NIH Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Synthetic Biology for Biomedical Applications The purpose of this NOSI is to encouraging new applications to advance research activities relevant to synthetic biology. The overarching goal(s) of this Notice are to: 1) develop tools and technologies to control and reprogram biological systems; 2) apply synthetic biology approaches for the development of biomedical technologies; 3) increase the fundamental understanding of synthetic biology concepts as they relate to human health; and 4) gain fundamental biological knowledge through the application of synthetic biology approaches. Deadline: Varies by IC |

NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research The NIH and the CDC hereby notify PD(s)/PI(s) holding specific types of research grants that funds are available for administrative supplements to enhance the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting students, postdoctorates, and eligible investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related research. This supplement opportunity is also available to PD(s)/PI(s) of research grants who are or become disabled and need additional support to accommodate their disability in order to continue to work on the research project. Administrative supplements must support work within the scope of the original project. Deadline: Varies by awarding IC |

The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research – Endeavor Award The Mark Foundation Endeavor Awards support collaborative research projects that bring together investigators with diverse areas of expertise to tackle challenges in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. These grants are awarded to teams of three or more investigators to generate and integrate data from diverse lines of research and transform those insights into advances for cancer patients that could not be achieved by individual efforts. |
