NINDS Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP) (K12 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-19-040 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NINDS Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP) is to facilitate and support the research career development of child neurologists who have made a commitment to independent research careers. The CNCDP is a single national program, implemented by one or more PD/PIs and, if applicable, co- directors (at least one of whom is the PD/PI), together with an advisory committee composed of basic and clinical investigators who have a strong record of funded research and successful training of clinician scientists. The CNCDP will generally provide three consecutive years of support to individuals to provide them with the knowledge, tools and research experience that will enable them to develop a significant research project funded by an individual career development award or research grant. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow appointed scholars to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-304 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Exploratory/Developmental Phase II (R33) grant applications to facilitate early-stage T1 translation (bench-to-bedside) of discoveries from basic and applied research in aging into novel therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of clinical conditions related to aging or multiple chronic conditions in older people (e.g., sarcopenia, hearth failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFePF), immunosenescence, pulmonary fibrosis, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease). This includes the development of pharmacological strategies such as new classes of compounds (e.g., senolytics, anti-inflammatory agents, modulators of proteostasisand autophagy), natural products (or their derivatives, mimics, and synthetic equivalents), biologics, stem/progenitor cell-based therapies, and the repurposing of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Applications submitted in response to this FOA may involve novel treatment targets and/or innovative approaches for engaging known targets.
