Cancer Research Education Grants Program - Courses for Skills Development (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity PAR-21-278 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NCI R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for Skills Development. Applications are encouraged that propose innovative, state-of-the-art programs that address the cause, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, or the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients.

Implementation Science for Cancer Control in People Living with HIV in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-21-056 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support Implementation Science for Cancer Control in People Living with HIV (PLWH) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to accelerate the integration of evidence-based cancer control interventions for PLWH by leveraging existing HIV treatment and prevention infrastructure. Specifically, this FOA solicits applications that will identify, understand, and develop strategies to address barriers to the adoption, integration, and sustainability of evidence-based cancer control interventions among PLWH in LMICs and generate data in LMICs that can inform effective and equitable implementation of evidence-based cancer control for PLWH worldwide. Responsive applications should include multi-disciplinary teams of researchers with expertise in HIV, cancer, and implementation science to address the cancer control needs of PLWH populations specific to the proposed LMIC context.

Impact of Technology and Digital Media (TDM) Exposure/Usage on Child and Adolescent Development (P01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-22-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites submission of Program Project (P01) applications to support integrated, multi-project research programs examining the pathways by which technology and digital media (TDM) exposure and usage impact developmental trajectories and health outcomes in early childhood (ages birth-8) and adolescence (ages 9-17).

Learning Disabilities Innovation Hubs (P20 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-22-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites exploratory grant applications, hereafter referred to as the Learning Disabilities Innovation Hubs or LD Hubs, addressing the etiology, manifestation, prevention and remediation of reading, writing and/or mathematics specific learning disorders (SLDs). An LD Hub includes a single research project and a Leadership Core that support the goals and aims of the LD Hub. This FOA seeks to serve as a catalyst to understand and address 1) the needs of diverse, under-represented populations in SLD research, 2) the role technology plays in improving or limiting the learning experiences of children with SLD, including the impact of remote learning on service delivery, family stress, and peer socialization, 3) investigate more complex behavioral phenotypes of learners in SLD research, 4) speed the maturation of nascent/novel, high-impact, high-risk SLD studies that advances research on SLDs and demonstrate potential to directly benefit the SLD community, policy or practice, and 5) provide project embedded, career enhancing research and professional development opportunities to support the next generation of SLD scientists. This initiative provides opportunities to support planning and building of a body of research and corresponding intellectual infrastructure to enable P20 grantees to compete for large research and program project opportunities in the future. This FOA aims to integrate research topics that are of relevance to various research programs at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and align with the NICHD Strategic Plan. The FOA intends to build cross-programmatic, trans-disciplinary and crosscutting scientific research and critically nurture the development of early career researchers capable of conducting this research.

Limited Competition: Continued Development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource Center (U2C Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-21-014 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This limited competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the continued development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource Center (DRC), which consists of the following components: a Data Resource Core, a Data Coordination Core, and an Administrative and Outreach Core. The goal of the cloud-based Data Resource is to accelerate discovery of genetic etiology and shared biologic pathways within and across childhood cancers and structural birth defects by facilitating access to and querying of annotated genomic sequence and phenotypic data from cohorts of patients with these conditions. The Data Resource Core will continue to develop the Data Resource, which serves as an indispensable research resource where genomic and phenotypic data can be aggregated, accessed, analyzed, and shared within and across the childhood cancer and structural birth defects research communities as well as the broader scientific community. The Data Coordination Core will work with Kids First investigators and sequencing centers to facilitate data collection, harmonization, and sharing. The Administrative and Outreach Core will oversee administrative activities, work closely with the NIH Kids First Working Group, and provide outreach and education to the research community on using the Data Resource.
