Enabling Technologies and Transformative Platforms for HLBS Research (R33 - Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-20-022 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications to further develop enabling technologies and transformative platforms to catalyze next-generation predictive, diagnostic and therapeutic products to address heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS)-related disorders and diseases. This FOA solicits R33 applications where major feasibility gaps for the enabling technology or transformative platform have already been overcome, as demonstrated with supportive preliminary data, but still requires further development and rigorous validation to encourage downstream demonstration, utilization and adoption. Well-suited applications must offer the potential to accelerate and/or transform the areas of early detection and screening, model development, clinical diagnosis, treatment, control, prevention or epidemiology, while addressing issues associated with HLBS-related diseases and disorders. Projects proposing application of existing technologies where the novelty resides in the biological or clinical target/question being pursued are not appropriate for this solicitation and will not be reviewed. This FOA is part of a suite of NHLBI Catalyze program to advance projects to the point where they can meet the entry criteria for the NHLBI Catalyze Product Definition or Preclinical FOAs.

Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (R35 - Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-367 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) provides support for the program of research in an investigator's laboratory that is within the mission of NIGMS. The goal of MIRA is to increase the efficiency and efficacy of NIGMS funding. It is anticipated that this program will: Increase the stability of funding for NIGMS-supported investigators, which could enhance their ability to take on ambitious scientific projects and approach problems more creatively; Increase flexibility for investigators to follow important new research directions within the NIGMS mission as opportunities arise, rather than being bound to specific aims proposed in advance of the studies; More widely distribute funding among the nation's highly talented and promising investigators to increase overall scientific productivity and the chances for important breakthroughs; Reduce the time spent by researchers writing and reviewing grant applications, allowing them to spend more time conducting research; Enable investigators to devote more time and energy to mentoring trainees in a more stable research environment. This FOA allows both new applications from eligible NIGMS-funded investigators and renewal applications from current established and early-stage MIRA grantees.

Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA) (K12 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-19-366 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) Program is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained scientists available to address the nation's biomedical research agenda. The program requires effective partnerships between a research-intensive institution and a teaching-intensive partner institution that has a historical mission or a demonstrated commitment to educating students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce. The IRACDA program provides support for a mentored postdoctoral research training experience at the research-intensive institution and funding for the IRACDA scholars to develop critical teaching and mentoring skills at a partner institution. The primary goals of the IRACDA program are to develop a diverse pool of well-trained biomedical scientists who have the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue independent academic careers and to enhance science educational offerings at partner institutions. 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.
