The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite Small Research Grant (R21) applications that propose to study the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of human genetics and genomics. Applications may propose studies using either single or mixed methods. Direct involvement of key stakeholders where appropriate is encouraged. These applications should be for small research projects, such as those that involve single investigators. Of particular interest are projects that propose normative or conceptual analyses, including focused legal, economic, philosophical, anthropological, or historical analyses of new or emerging issues. This mechanism can also be used for the collection of preliminary data and the secondary analysis of existing data.

This NIH/Fogarty K43 career development award supports an early-career scientist at an academic or research institution in a low- or middle-income country, for research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial. Eligibility is narrow and country-restricted: only foreign institutions in qualifying LMICs may apply, U.S. organizations and their foreign components are not eligible, and some upper-middle-income G20 countries are excluded. This is not available to U.S. applicants. No specific award amount is stated.

This NIH R50 award provides salary support for established Research Software Engineers who build and disseminate biomedical software, tools, and algorithms. Eligible applicants include universities and research institutions; foreign (non-U.S.) organizations are not eligible to apply. It is tied to an existing research environment and specialized staff, so it suits research institutions rather than general nonprofits or individuals applying on their own. No specific award amount is stated.

Fish and Wildlife Service · $5K–$150K

This Fish and Wildlife Service program funds implementation of approved state and interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species management plans. Eligibility is narrow: only states, territories, or Indian tribes (within an interstate organization) that have an approved ANS management plan may apply, with a specific named list of eligible state entities. A 25% cost-share of total project costs is required, and there is a 5% cap on administrative costs. Awards range from about $5,000 to $150,000.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support research on interventions to improve health in Native American (NA) populations. This includes 1) etiologic research, where there is a significant gap in knowledge, that will directly inform intervention development or adaptations, 2) research that develops, adapts, or tests the efficacy or effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention interventions, 3) research that tests culturally informed treatment or recovery interventions and 4) where a sufficient body of knowledge on intervention efficacy exists, research on dissemination and implementation that develops and tests strategies to overcome barriers to the adoption, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of effective interventions. Existing data suggest that significant acute and chronic disease inequities exist for NA populations. Concurrently, NA populations experience unique sociopolitical, historical, and environmental stressors and risks that may exacerbate health conditions and/or impact the effectiveness of existing solutions to address the conditions. They also possess unique strengths and resiliencies that can mitigate stressors or inform intervention strategies. Through this initiative, intervention and related research is sought to build upon community knowledge, resources, and resilience to test science-based, culturally appropriate solutions to reduce morbidity and mortality through identification and remediation of precursors to diseases and disorders and through culturally informed treatment. Interventions should be designed with a consideration for sustainability within the communities where they are tested, and have the flexibility to be readily adapted, disseminated, and scaled up to other communities where culturally appropriate. For the purposes of this NOFO, NA includes the following populations: Alaska Natives, American Indians (whose ancestral lands fall at least partially within the U.S. main land).

Department of Housing and Urban Development · $112.5K–$250K

A HUD program providing one-time, cost-reimbursable grants for service coordination and limited direct services to residents of HUD-assisted housing facing emergencies such as natural disasters or public-health crises. Eligible applicants include public/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status, including resident associations), multifamily owners, Tribal governments and entities, and faith-based organizations, so eligibility is relatively broad among housing-connected organizations. Awards run roughly $112,500 to $250,000. Note that funds are reimbursed after costs are incurred and serve HUD-assisted housing residents specifically.

This NIH mechanism provides emergency competitive revisions (supplemental funding) to existing NIH awards in response to declared disasters or public health emergencies. Only organizations that already hold a relevant NIH award and are responding to a specific Emergency Notice of Special Interest may apply, so it is limited to current NIH grantees rather than new applicants. No award amount is listed.

This NIH/NIEHS center grant (P30) funds Environmental Health Sciences Core Centers that provide shared research infrastructure, facilities, and services to groups of environmental health researchers. It is intended for established research institutions such as universities with existing groups of independently funded investigators; foreign organizations cannot apply. No award amount is listed. This center mechanism is not suited to individual applicants or new organizations.

The purpose of the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented, NIH-supported, independent investigators. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a research and/or clinical doctorate degree from mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. The program will provide independent NIH research support during this transition in order to help awardees to launch competitive, independent research careers.

The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. The K25 award will provide support and "protected time" for a period of supervised study and research for productive professionals with quantitative (e.g., mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research.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 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 FOA ().
