Funding Opportunity PAR-18-904 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support projects that implement creative, efficient molecular epidemiologic approaches that incorporate individual genetic information, including polygenic as well as specific genetic risk variants, in existing large, population-based cohorts, registries and/or health systems to conduct analyses that advance our understanding of the complex etiology of severe mental disorders. The ultimate objective of this funding opportunity is the elucidation of the complex interplays of genetic (e.g., polygenic) risk, in addition to specific risk loci and networks, and environmental factors, in human populations, which will lead to better understanding, diagnosis, and ultimately treatment of mental disorders.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-905 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The ultimate objective of this funding opportunity is the elucidation of the complex interplays of genetic (e.g., polygenic) risk, in addition to specific risk loci and networks, and environmental factors, in human populations, which will lead to better understanding, diagnosis, and ultimately treatment of mental disorders. For a linked set of collaborative R01s, each site has its own Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s), and the program provides a mechanism for cross-site coordination and communication. Collaborative studies are appropriate to address research projects that go beyond the capacity of a single-site investigation, particularly to accommodate collaborations among sites with diverse expertise, perspectives, and contributions.?Specifically, the purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support collaborative R01 projects from multidisciplinary teams that implement creative, efficient molecular epidemiologic approaches that incorporate individual genetic information, including polygenic as well as specific genetic risk variants, in existing large, population-based cohorts, registries and/or health systems to conduct analyses that advance our understanding of the complex etiology of severe mental disorders. Applicants wishing to submit individual l projects should apply to the companion FOA (link).

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-19-022 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement invites applications for a U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory. This U24 will coordinate activities of a telomere length (TL) methods comparison study involving multiple labs supported under U01 awards made in response to FOA (RFA-AG-19-023) to address the need for cross-validation between protocols and samples for establishing best practices for population-based TL research. The U24 will serve as the central resource for the organization of meetings and other activities of this coordinated program, including support for the methods study, dissemination of its results and resultant recommendations. It will also develop and foster an extended Telomere Research Network (TRN) connecting the broader field through a flexible range of activities that will advance an interdisciplinary research agenda on telomeres and activities directly associated with TL maintenance as sentinels of environmental exposures, psychosocial stress, and disease susceptibility.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-19-023 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This U01 Cooperative Agreement Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support 3-4 U01 Methods Comparison Projects to serve three main functions: (1) to conduct a joint effort among telomere researchers to determine the relationship between different telomere length (TL) methods, inter-assay variability, and the factors that influence results; (2) Contribute to development of best practice recommendations for assay protocols for TL measurement for different types of studies, with a focus on population-based health research, including biological sample collection, storage, and processing; laboratory methods; data analysis; and reporting requirements; and (3) Repurpose existing methods or develop new methods to enhance the use of TL measurement. The U01 Methods Comparison Projects will be expected to conduct cross-validation involving other labs (3-4) supported under this cooperative agreement to develop a set of recommendations for assay protocols for telomere measurement for different types of studies and development of best practice guidelines for population-based TL research. This will be done in coordination with the U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory award made in response to FOA (RFA-AG-19-022). Please refer to the NIA website regularly for updates, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and other announcements related to this FOA and the companion FOA.

Funding Opportunity PA-18-903 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to foster the advancement of the research mission of the Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, NIDDK by soliciting research concepts that for pilot and feasibility clinical study proposals would need further assessment of identified protocol operational challenges would enhance operational feasibility of achieving successful completion of a subsequent larger clinical study; or for clinical translational science proposals, promote exploratory and novel science through the use of human subjects. The following studies will not be supported by this FOA: those that have obesity as a component of the study proposal (please refer to the Office of Extramural Research Grants and Funding to search for multiple obesity related Funding Opportunity Announcements at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm); and translational studies that utilize animal models.

Funding Opportunity PA-18-902 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is twofold: 1. to accelerate translational and clinical Phase I and II a/b safety and efficacy studies for substantiating measurable functional benefits of probiotic/prebiotic components and/or their combinations; and; 2. to understand the underlying mechanisms of their action(s), and variability in responses to these interventions. This FOA calls for interdisciplinary collaborations across scientific disciplines engaged in microbiome and pro/prebiotic research including, but not limited to: nutritional science, microbiology, virology, microecology and microbiome, genomics, immunology, computational biology, chemistry, bioengineering, as well as integration of omics and computational approaches in DNA technologies. This FOA will not support phase III clinical trials.
