Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa (DS-I Africa) Open Data Science Platform and Coordinating Center (U2C Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-20-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications for the development of an Open Data Science Platform and Coordinating Center as part of a broader initiative entitled Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa (DS-I Africa). The goal of DS-I Africa is to spur new health discoveries and catalyze innovation in healthcare, public health, and health research on the continent through application of data science. The FOA is comprised of two components the DS-I Africa Open Data Science Platform (ODSP) and Coordinating Center (CC) funded via one U2C award. The ODSP core will develop and maintain a scalable data-sharing gateway available to the research community with access to disparate types of open and controlled-access data and tools, generated from the DS-I Africa Research Hubs as well as other existing sources. The CC core will provide the organizational framework for the management, direction, and overall coordination of all common DS-I Africa consortium activities. The cooperative agreement will be awarded to an African academic or other non-profit institution. Multisectoral partnerships with other organizations in Africa, the U.S., or other countries are encouraged.

Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa (DS-I Africa): Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-20-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support research on the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) associated with a new program entitled Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa (DS-I Africa). The goal of DS-I Africa is to spur new health discoveries and catalyze innovation in healthcare, public health, and health research on the continent through application of data science. A primary goal of this FOA is to explore the ELSI issues impacting data science for health research from an African perspective and contribute to the policy discussions of such on the continent. Through this FOA and related announcements, it is expected that ELSI research efforts will be fully embedded and integrated components of the consortia of activities supported through related DS-I Africa FOAs. Supported DS-I Africa ELSI awardees will work closely with DS-I Africa coordinating centers and DS-I Africa research hubs in considering how to dynamically address core ethical issues that may arise as the larger research projects uncover additional opportunities in this space. The cooperative agreements made through this FOA must be direct awards to African institutions, but applications can include partnerships with organizations from other areas.

NCI Outstanding Investigator Award (R35 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity PAR-20-278 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Outstanding Investigator Award (R35) in any area of cancer research. The objective of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Outstanding Investigator Award (OIA) is to provide long-term support to accomplished investigators with outstanding records of cancer research productivity who propose to conduct exceptional research. The OIA is intended to allow investigators the opportunity to take greater risks, be more adventurous in their lines of inquiry, or take the time to develop new techniques. The OIA would allow an Institution to submit applications nominating established Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) for the NCI OIA. It is expected that the OIA would provide extended funding stability and encourage investigators to embark on projects of unusual potential in cancer research. The research projects should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications that may lead to a breakthrough that will advance biomedical, behavioral, or clinical cancer research.
