BRAIN Initiative: Research Opportunities Using Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulating Technologies in the Human Brain (U01 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-19-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Invasive surgical procedures provide the unique ability to record and stimulate neurons within precisely localized brain structures in humans. Human studies using invasive technology are often constrained by a limited number of patients and resources available to implement complex experimental protocols and are rarely aggregated in a manner that addresses research questions with appropriate statistical power. Therefore, this RFA seeks applications to assemble diverse, integrated, multi-disciplinary teams that cross boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome these fundamental barriers and to investigate high-impact questions in human neuroscience. Projects should maximize opportunities to conduct innovative in vivo neuroscience research made available by direct access to brain recording and stimulating from invasive surgical procedures. Projects should employ approaches guided by specified theoretical constructs and quantitative, mechanistic models where appropriate. Awardees will join a consortium work group, coordinated by the NIH, to identify consensus standards of practice, including neuroethical considerations, to collect and provide data for ancillary studies, and to aggregate and standardize data for dissemination among the wider scientific community.

Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) Clinical Centers (U01 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-18-505 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this limited competition funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to continue the support of the Clinical Sites of the NASH Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) as they complete active clinical treatment trials and continue to longitudinally gather biospecimens and data of children and adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including steatosis, steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis (NAFLD database study). The NASH CRN has been sponsored by the NIDDK since 2002, and renewed in 2009 and 2014. Research in the NASH CRN has been focused on the etiology, contributing factors, natural history, complications, and therapy of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Improving Smoking Cessation Interventions among People Living with HIV (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-18-028 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide support for research designed to optimize smoking cessation treatment among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the United States (U.S.). Responsive applications must propose research that will be conducted with PLWH and will inform efforts to reduce the incidence of tobacco-related disease and death among PLWH. Research may address the behavioral and sociocultural factors and conditions that are associated with cigarette smoking among PLWH, and may also address smoking-related health disparities among PLWH, considering the heterogeneity across the various subgroups of PLWH. This FOA aims to support research to systematically test existing evidence-based smoking cessation interventions (e.g., combination of behavioral and pharmacological) and/or to develop and test adaptations of evidence-based smoking cessation interventions among PLWH. The principal focus of this initiative is on cigarette smoking cessation; however studies that address dual/poly tobacco product use as part of a cigarette smoking cessation intervention are acceptable. Proposed projects must include prospective, comparative evaluation(s) of the intervention(s) in terms of the rates of cigarette smoking cessation, including sustained abstinence, among current cigarette smokers.

Clinical Coordination Center for Common Fund Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) Program (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-18-035 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to identify and support a Clinical Coordination Center (CCC) for the Common Fund Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) Program. The Clinical Coordinating Center is expected to serve as the hub for the Multisite Clinical Centers (below) to support study design, efficiency, progress, and quality, and to coordinate and monitor study implementation across the clinical sites. The Clinical Coordinating Center will lead the consortium in developing and implementing standardized protocols, safety standards, staff training protocols, electronic health record (EHR) data standards, patient phenotyping and testing, and regulatory processes.

Multisite Clinical Center Common Fund Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures Program: Acute Peri-operative Pain (UM1 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-18-034 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to support a Multisite Clinical Center to implement the enrollment and multimodal longitudinal assessment of a large cohort of acute peri-operative pain patients to identify a biosignature for resilience to and the transition from acute to chronic pain.

Omics Data Generation Centers (ODGCs) for Common Fund Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures Program (U54 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-18-032 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to support the establishment of center(s) that will use cutting edge technologies to perform omics analyses (e.g. metabolomic, lipidomic, proteomic, extracellular RNA) of body fluids collected by the Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) consortium. The omics data generated, in concert with other patient assessments, will be used to identify biosignatures predictive of susceptibility or resilience to the development of chronic pain.
