NIDDK Research Education Program Utilizing Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) - Generated Resources (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-20-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on: Research Experiences Courses for Skills Development This FOA solicits applications to establish research programs for qualified graduate students, post-doctoral trainees, medial residents, engineers, and clinical fellows to engage in neuroscience research experiences relevant to the mission of NIDDK and its partnership with the Common Fund program, Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC). The intent is to leverage this partnership to provide resources for short-term research training experiences that would necessarily use SPARC-generated resources (datasets/maps/models) as the foundation for the research experience in conjunction with didactic training that may be combined with hands-on computational or wet lab projects. The goal is that the research experiences will be impactful and ideally develop new skills and produce new knowledge that could sustain future NIDDK-funded research careers

From Genomic Association to Causation: A Convergent Neuroscience Approach to Linking Levels of Analysis for Understanding Neuropsychiatric Disorders (U19 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-21-165 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports research to understand causal linkages across different scales (e.g., molecular, cellular, circuit, behavioral, clinical) relevant to neuropsychiatric disorders. The Convergent Neuroscience (CN) program goal is to establish theoretical models to show how specific constituent processes at one level of analysis contribute to quantifiable properties at other levels, either directly or as emergent phenomenon. Studies should incorporate four key features: (1) a premise on identifying the causal and disease-relevant relationships between objective genetic/biological/clinical criteria at two or more contiguous levels of analysis, whether involving human subjects or experimentally tractable in vivo or in vitro paradigms (genetic variation can be one of the contiguous levels of analysis or can be the context in which other, higher levels of analysis are linked); (2) use of the large and diverse datasets existing or generated at these levels of analysis to develop testable theoretical models within three years of award; (3) experimental testing of the model-based predictions to confirm or reject their validity, (4) preferential utilization of scalable approaches to maximize analytic throughput, content, sensitivity, selectivity, spatiotemporal resolution and robustness. Results should yield causal linkages between levels of analysis and mechanistically explain key functional dimension(s) relevant to mental illness pathophysiology. Leadership of research teams will include expertise in experimental neurobiology or clinical research paired with orthogonal theoretical disciplines (e.g., mathematics, computation, physics). This endeavor will be facilitated by active participation in a community-driven manner through the CN Consortium. Groups will manage their data and analysis methods using a harmonized framework with other U19 awardees through a CN Consortium Data Commons structure.

NINDS Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) for Training of Postdoctoral Fellows (F32 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-21-032 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. (Reissue of PAR-20-021) The purpose of this award is to support outstanding scientific training of highly promising postdoctoral candidates with outstanding mentors. Candidates are eligible to apply for support from this program from ~12 months prior to the start of the proposed postdoctoral position to within 12 months after starting in postdoctoral position. Based on the early timeframe of eligibility, and the discouragement of inclusion of preliminary data, this NINDS F32 seeks to foster early, goal-directed planning and to encourage applications for bold and/or innovative projects by the candidate that have the potential for significant impact. Applications are expected to incorporate strong training in quantitative reasoning and the quantitative principles of experimental design and analysis. Support by this program is limited to the first 3 years of a candidate's activity in a specific laboratory or research environment, so as to further encourage early fellowship application and timely completion of mentored training of the postdoctoral candidate in a single environment.
