Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-21-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. T?o invite applications to an open competition to be one of up to 7 supported sites in the next phase of the NINDS small vessel vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) biomarkers consortium. The original consortium, established under RFA-NS-16-019 and RFA-NS-16-020, pursued initial stages of multi-site validation of 11 candidate imaging-based and fluid-based biomarkers. The primary objective of the next 5 years is to carry out comprehensive multi-site clinical validation of up to six of these 11 biomarkers to be selected by the NINDS in a process separate from this FOA. The focus will be validation in longitudinal studies of diverse all-comers populations that are typical in clinical settings in the United States. The network of sites will provide scientific expertise and experimental infrastructure to pursue these goals synergistically including with the Coordinating Center (RFA-NS-21-004). At the conclusion of clinical validation each biomarker will have a designated category and context of use as defined by the FDA and a finalized public protocol that describes all details needed to utilize the biomarker. The sites will drive the consortium scientifically and contribute administratively to comprehensive rigorous clinical validation of biomarkers for future clinical trials, including in large phase III trials, and for generating scientific breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of VCID.

Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-21-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to have an open competition to support a Coordinating Center for the next phase of the NINDS small vessel vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) biomarkers consortium. The original consortium was established under RFA-NS-16-019 and RFA-NS-16-020. The goal of the next phase, under RFA-NS-20-004 (Coordinating Center) and RFA-NS-20-005 (sites), is to complete clinical validation of biomarkers initially developed during the first 5-year funding cycle of this program. The Coordinating Center will consist of: (i) an Administrative Core responsible for organizing, coordinating and administratively driving Consortium activities; and (ii) a Data Core that will coordinate, receive, collect, and share data, including de-identified clinical data. The Coordinating Center will drive the consortium administratively and contribute scientifically to validation of biomarkers with specified context of use for future clinical trials, including in large phase III trials, with general and diverse populations, and for generating scientific breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of VCID.

Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-21-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on further development and validation of emerging technologies that improve the quality of the samples used for cancer research or clinical care. This includes new capabilities to address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and/or storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. This FOA solicits R33 applications where major feasibility gaps for the technology or methodology have been overcome, as demonstrated with supportive preliminary data, but still requires further development and rigorous validation to encourage adoption by the research community. The overall goal is to support the development of highly innovative technologies capable of maximizing or otherwise interrogating the quality and utility of biological samples used for downstream analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to preserve or protect sample integrity, or establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, or address issues associated with cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality.
