Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-18-008 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIA seeks applications proposing a Coordinating Center (CC) for the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers (OAIC) program. The CC serves a facilitating role for OAIC site interactions as well as a conduit for translating OAIC objectives and findings to both scientific and general audiences. The proposed CC must demonstrate an ability to work cooperatively with all OAIC sites and possess sufficient scientific expertise in geriatrics and related areas to serve the national clearinghouse functions of the OAIC program. The CC should be proposed only by institutions with (1) the ability to coordinate multi-site projects as demonstrated by previous HHS funding for a coordinating center of a multi-site research grant, and (2) demonstrated scientific expertise in clinical aging research.

Funding Opportunity PA-17-262 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate HIV/AIDS research by addressing scientific areas of primary interest to NICHD, Maternal and Pediatric Infectious Disease Branch (MPIDB) and the Office of AIDS Research (OAR). This FOA will further explain our interests over the next three years.

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-263 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support high risk, high impact, early discovery research on vaccine approaches to prevent acquisition of or ongoing infection by HIV. In keeping with the high risk, high impact nature of this research, this FOA supports a Go/No-Go approach to funding high risk research, which is significantly different from most R01 projects. Continued funding for the full award duration is dependent upon achieving negotiated Go/No-Go criteria by the end of Year 2.

Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-17-023 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to support the development and validation of pathophysiologically based preclinical outcome measures or functional markers that align closely with practical clinical assessments in spinal cord injury (SCI) and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Bedside knowledge and experience will be leveraged to create better assessment tools for preclinical studies, and the resulting data will be made available to researchers. The goal is to improve the value of preclinical studies to inform clinical diagnoses and prognoses and therapeutic translation.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-18-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA solicits applications on novel studies of cell non-autonomous mechanisms of aging. The goal of this FOA is to support applications that will lead to in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that produce cell non-autonomous aging signals: what they are, how they are generated from cell autonomous aging, how they are released from cells, how they are transported or communicated to other cells, and how they elicit aging upon reaching their target cells. Research supported by this FOA should lead to new insights and better understanding of the importance of cell non-autonomous mechanisms in aging at a tissue, system, or organismal level.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-18-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites early-stage physician and other health-professional investigators with a commitment to aging to apply for this award to advance their research and leadership skills in their specialty and in the broader field of aging and geriatrics research. The National Institute on Aging is pursuing this initiative to recruit new investigators who have begun to establish research programs and who, through this award, will be ready to assume leadership roles in their field of expertise and will be poised to change theory, practice and health outcomes related to the health of older individuals. Unlike other mentored K awards, candidates for this award must have received competitively awarded research support as a PD/PI at the faculty level or have otherwise leveraged faculty-level research support to develop an independent line of research. They must show evidence of leadership in the clinical or research domain.
