Pediatric Critical Care Conferences (R13 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-21-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for multidisciplinary national conferences that will inform care and facilitate research for major issues in pediatric critical care medicine. Given the nascent stage of development, the small diverse patient populations, and the rapid expansion of the field, conducting research and establishing best practices in pediatric critical care is challenging. National conferences that convene experts from across the country hold the potential to establish the frameworks necessary to overcome these obstacles. It is anticipated that such conferences will foster collaboration among different clinical disciplines, geographically and culturally diverse institutions and medical centers, professional organizations and NIH Institutes. Specifically, it is hoped that these conferences will drive the development and acceptance of uniform definitions, facilitate the determination of common data elements, identify key knowledge gaps to advance research, and/or foster discussions on how research findings can be used to best inform guidelines for patient care.

Co-infection and Cancer (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-061 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative seeks to enhance our mechanistic and epidemiologic understanding of infection-related cancers, with a focus on the etiologic roles of co-infection in cancer. Preference will be given to investigations of co-infections with known oncogenic agents (e.g., Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] and Epstein Barr virus [EBV]; excluding human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) and of co-infections that engendered novel opportunities for prevention and treatment. Coinfection is defined as the occurrence of infections by two or more infectious (pathogenic or nonpathogenic) agents either concurrently or sequentially and includes both acute and chronic infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and/or other microorganisms.

The Physiology of the Weight Reduced State Clinical Trial Consortium (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-19-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Following intentional weight loss, physiological processes including altered appetite and decreased energy expenditure create a tendency toward regain of lost weight. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites UG3/UH3 cooperative agreement applications from multi-disciplinary teams that propose to conduct collaborative mechanistic clinical trials focused on elucidation of the physiological mechanisms underlying individual variability in maintenance of reduced weight over time. This FOA will not support studies with a goal to evaluate the efficacy of interventions for weight loss or maintenance of reduced weight. Participants must be studied before and after a successful behavioral/lifestyle weight loss intervention to determine the extent, durability, and mechanisms for physiologic adaptations to weight loss, including metabolic and biobehavioral mechanisms. It is expected that tissue biospecimens will be collected that can be used to identify potential metabolic pathways that are altered after weight loss and may render it more difficult to maintain the reduced weight. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will use the bi-phasic, milestone-driven UG3/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism in parallel with a companion FOA, RFA DK-19-018, Physiology of the Weight Reduced State Data Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). Awards made under this FOA will initially support a planning/preparation phase (UG3) for approximately one year with possible transition to a study (UH3) phase of up to four additional years once planning milestones are met. Applications submitted in response to this FOA must propose activities for both phases and are expected to include plans for project management and performance milestones for each phase.

The Physiology of the Weight Reduced State Data Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-19-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U24 cooperative agreement applications for a Data Coordination Center to participate in a clinical trial focused on elucidation of the physiological mechanisms underlying individual variability in maintenance of reduced weight over time. A companion FOA (RFA DK-19-017, The Physiology of the Weight Reduced State Clinical Trial Consortium (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required) invites Clinical Centers (CC) to recruit and study participants before and after a behavioral/lifestyle weight loss intervention to determine the extent, durability and mechanisms for physiologic adaptations to weight loss, including metabolic and biobehavioral mechanisms. It is expected that tissue biospecimens will be collected that can be used to identify potential metabolic pathways that are altered after weight loss and may render it more difficult to maintain the reduced weight. An award made under the current FOA will support a planning/preparation phase for approximately one year, followed by a study phase of up to four additional years once planning milestones are met. Applications submitted in response to this FOA must propose activities for both phases and are expected to include plans for project management and performance milestones for each phase.

NIAID Resource-Related Research Projects (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-063 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), invites applications for investigator-initiated Resource-Related Research Projects (R24). The proposed resource must provide a significant benefit to currently funded high priority projects in need of further coordination and support in the areas specified. Under rare circumstances, this mechanism may be used to support development of a new resource to the broader scientific community of the NIAID. It is anticipated that the request for resource support through the R24 activity code will occur on an infrequent basis and only in circumstances where other mechanisms of support from the NIAID are not appropriate. The proposed resources should be relevant to the scientific areas of the NIAID mission including the biology, pathogenesis, and host response to microbes, including HIV; the mechanisms of normal immune function and immune dysfunction resulting in autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, allergy, asthma, and transplant rejection; and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious, immune-mediated, and allergic diseases.

Utilizing Invasive Recording and Stimulating Opportunities in Humans to Advance Neural Circuitry Understanding of Mental Health Disorders (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-351 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue invasive neural recording studies focused on mental health-relevant questions. Invasive neural recordings provide an unparalleled window into the human brain to explore the neural circuitry and neural dynamics underlying complex moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors with high spatial and temporal resolution. Additionally, the ability to stimulate, via the same electrodes, allows for direct causal tests by modulating network dynamics. This funding opportunity aims to target a gap in the scientific knowledge of neural circuit function related to mental health disorders. Researchers should target specific questions suited to invasive recording modalities that have high translational potential. Development of new technologies and therapies are outside the scope of this FOA.
