The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to facilitate research to identify individual influences on the effectiveness of population-level strategies that target cancer-related behaviors. We seek to encourage collaborations among scientists with expertise in health policy research and implementation, as well as investigators in scientific disciplines that have not traditionally conducted cancer or policy research, such as: psychological science (e.g., social, developmental); affective and cognitive neuroscience; judgment and decision-making; consumer behavior and marketing; organizational behavior; sociology, cultural anthropology; behavioral economics; linguistics; and political science.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-023 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-18-024 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to provide infrastructure support to advance development of operational definitions and approaches for the study of the concepts of cognitive reserve and resilience to Alzheimers disease and related dementias (ADRD) and age-related cognitive decline. The infrastructure support will facilitate a collaborative research network through meetings, conferences, small-scale pilots, and dissemination activities to foster development and champion use of state-of-the-art definitions, uniform nomenclature, and validated approaches that will be key to the advancement of research on maintenance of brain and cognitive health and treatment and/or prevention of ADRD.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-424 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NHLBI Career Transition Award (K22) program is to provide highly qualified postdoctoral fellows in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research the opportunity to transition their research programs as new investigators to extramural institutions. To achieve these objectives, the NHLBI Career Transition Award will support two phases of research: a mentored intramural phase (up to two years) and an extramural phase (three years), for a total of five years of combined support. Transition from the intramural phase of support to the extramural phase is not automatic. Approval of the transition will be based on the success of the awardee's research program during the mentored phase as determined by an NHLBI progress review, which will include an evaluation of a research plan to be carried out at the extramural institution. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. Applicants proposing a clinical trial or an ancillary study to an ongoing clinical trial as lead investigator, should apply to the companion FOA (FOA #).
