Using Archived Data and Specimen Collections to Advance Maternal and Pediatric HIV/AIDS Research (R21 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-25-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to address the needs of the maternal and pediatric HIV scientific community for research data translation and sharing. This initiative will support secondary data analyses using archived HIV/AIDS data and specimens to generate new research questions and findings relevant to the scientific mission and priorities of the NICHD, Maternal and Pediatric Infectious Disease Branch (MPIDB) and Office of AIDS Research (OAR). The goal of this initiative is to encourage applicants to leverage existing datasets and employ new and advanced analysis techniques to answer scientific questions about the epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, clinical manifestations and complications of HIV/AIDS in maternal, pediatric and adolescent populations.

Safety and Early Efficacy Studies of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for Chronic Pain in Older Adults (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-25-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support a multi-center consortium that will function as a clinical trials network to collect safety and early efficacy data in defined groups of older adults with specific chronic pain conditions. This funding opportunity will use a UG3/UH3 phased innovation mechanism, and responsive applications must include a research plan describing both UG3 and UH3 phases. UG3 (1st phase) studies, lasting up to 2 years, should involve preliminary studies in healthy older adults across a broad age range to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties of psychedelic agents and preliminary testing of study elements that will inform further development and testing in the UH3 (2nd) phase. UH3 studies, lasting up to 3 years, should include expanded safety and preliminary efficacy studies in older adults with chronic pain conditions and include participants with non-contraindicated co-occurring conditions representative of real-world older adults. In both phases of the award, participants across a broad range of ages should be included, with particular attention to strata at the upper age range (i.e., 75-80 years, and 80+ years old). For the purposes of this RFA, the term psychedelic includes classic psychedelics, typically understood to be 5-HT2 agonists such as psilocybin,N,N-Dimethyltryptamine(DMT), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and mescaline, as well as entactogens or empathogens such as methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Synthetic analogs of these agents are also included. Cannabis, ketamine, and their related products are not considered psychedelic agents in this RFA.

Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01 Independent Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)
Funding Opportunity PA-24-177 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and protected time (three to five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. Although all of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) use this support mechanism to support career development experiences that lead to research independence, some ICs use the K01 award for individuals who propose to train in a new field or for individuals who have had a hiatus in their research career because of illness or pressing family circumstances. Other ICs use the K01 to support career development in specific fields.

Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PA-24-176 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and protected time (three to five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence.

Other ICs use the K01 to support career development in specific fields. 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 a separate ancillary 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 clinical trial as lead investigator, should apply to the companion NOFO.
