Funding Opportunity RFA-FD-19-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity is to solicit applications to conduct studies that could support the approval of label changes to establish more targeted durations of use for certain approved medically important antimicrobial new animal drugs in food animals. These cooperative agreements are intended to provide publicly available data to be used by sponsor(s) of affected approved new animal drugs to support approval of future supplemental new animal drug applications. Such supplemental new animal drug applications are intended to: 1) Revise approved dosage regimens to provide for use durations that are more targeted (i.e., are more specifically defined) and, 2) That the revised dosage regimens continue to provide effectiveness that is comparable to the currently approved regimen while reducing the risk of antimicrobial resistance development.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-220 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites researchers to submit applications for support of clinical studies that address critical needs for clinical trial readiness in rare neurological and neuromuscular diseases. These studies should result in clinically validated biomarkers and clinical outcome assessment measures appropriate for use in upcoming clinical trials. Through the support of trial readiness studies, NINDS and NCATS expect to enhance the quality and increase the likelihood of success of clinical trials in these rare diseases.

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-216 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this program is to support the advancement of regulatory science to facilitate the implementation and the assessment of continuous manufacturing and similar innovative monitoring and control techniques in the pharmaceutical sector. This will be accomplished by making awards to institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations for the purpose of studying and recommending improvements to the process of continuous manufacturing of drugs and biological products (e.g., monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic enzymes). Examples of activities could include the development or modification of a novel manufacturing process (e.g., design, scale-up, and/or commercial scale), control method, and/or testing technology. Awards made under this FOA may be funded in part by appropriations received under the 21st Century Cures Act, section 3016.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-19-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs). The DDRCCs are part of an integrated program of digestive and liver diseases research support provided by the NIDDK. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators as a means to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research related to digestive and/or liver diseases. DDRCCs are based on the core concept, whereby shared resources aimed at fostering productivity, synergy, and new research ideas among the funded investigators are supported in a cost-effective manner. Each proposed DDRCC must be organized around a central theme that reflects the focus of the digestive or liver diseases research of the Center members. The central theme must be within the primary mission of NIDDK, and not thematic areas for which other NIH Institutes or Centers are considered the primary source of NIH funding.
