National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health Institutional Mentored Career Development Award (K12) funds an institution to establish a program that supports the mentored career development of early-career clinicians or scientists in a defined research area. The applicant is the institution, which then recruits and supports scholars, so individual researchers apply to participating programs rather than to NIH directly. Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This National Institutes of Health opportunity is a single-source award to continue the research center for the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study, a collaborative U01 with clinical trials not allowed.

Detailed eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines are not published here because the opportunity is forecasted; confirm requirements in the official notice.

Administration for Community Living · Amount varies

This Administration for Community Living opportunity funds an organization to run the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center, which collects and analyzes data across the SCI Model Systems network. It is a specialized cooperative agreement aimed at research institutions and centers with established expertise in disability research and data coordination, not individual SCI patients or small organizations. This grant is currently forecasted, so detailed eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines have not yet been published; confirm requirements in the official notice before applying.

Food and Drug Administration · Amount varies
