HBCU/MI and Special Programs Webinar
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) would like to invite you to virtually attend the “AFOSR Engage: HBCU/MI and Special Programs Webinar” on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM EST. This half-day webinar will provide you with a closer look at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Research Enterprise.
AFOSR Intl. QIS Funding Opportunity

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory’s Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFRL/AFOSR), the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP) this week announced a joint solicitation for three-year research grants in breakthrough quantum information science and technologies.

AFRL Collaboration with NSF Intern Program

The Air and Space Forces will start 2021 with a fresh new partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) designed to advance the scientific and innovation skills of the United States and draw a whole new generation of globally-competitive, diverse scientists and engineers into the AFRL innovation ecosystem. Learn More
AFOSR Funding Opportunities

As a part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR's technical experts foster and fund research within AFRL, universities, and industry laboratories to ensure the transition of research results to support U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force needs. To accomplish this task, AFOSR solicits proposals for research through various Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) as well as various other programs. Learn More
Clinical and Translational Research Infrastructure Network (CTR-IN) and Western Region IDeA Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Programs Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA): Developmental Translational Team Grant (DTTG)
Applications Due to NV INBRE: February 05, 2021
 
Overview: The Mountain West Clinical Translational Research Infrastructure Network (CTR-IN) is supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program for development of clinical and translational research (CTR) capacity among our partner Mountain West IDeA states. The West Region INBRE programs are funded by NIGMS IDeA with the goal of building biomedical education and research infrastructure in their states. A long-term goal for MW CTR-IN and INBRE programs is to partner across IDeA programs in the region to enhance collaboration between clinical, preclinical and basic science investigators and their access to resources in support of biomedical research. The long-term goal of this program is to build extramurally-funded collaborative CTR-INBRE projects engaging clinical, pre-clinical and basic science researchers in Mountain West States to address critical regional health disparities issues. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for a clinical investigator teamed with a basic science or a pre-clinical investigator to yield a project “proof-of-concept” for a subsequent, larger extramural (NIH, NSF, DoD, USDA, etc.) grant application. Moreover, the proposals should include how this funding will facilitate the team’s specific plan to apply for additional funding.
 
Eligibility to lead Developmental Team Training Project:
  • A successful proposal will describe a CTR project co-directed by a clinical investigator collaborating with a basic science or preclinical investigator both with faculty appointments at Mountain West CTR-IN institutions in the same IDeA state.
  • The Investigators may not concurrently serve as a Principal Investigator (PI) on an IDeA award from another IDeA program (i.e., CTR, COBRE or INBRE).
NIDCD Research Career Enhancement Award for Established Investigators
The purpose of the NIDCD Research Career Enhancement Award for Established Investigators (K18) program is to enable established, proven investigators to augment or redirect their research programs through the acquisition of new research skills to answer questions relevant to the hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech and language sciences.
(K18 Clinical Trial Required) PAR-21-094

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for candidates proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial, as part of their research and career development.
(K18 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

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. proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, as part of their research and career development.
(K18 Independent Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement is for basic science experimental studies involving humans, referred to in NOT-OD-18-212 as “prospective basic science studies involving human participants.” These studies fall within the NIH definition of a clinical trial and also meet the definition of basic research. Types of studies that should submit under this FOA include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes in humans for the purpose of understanding the fundamental aspects of phenomena without specific application towards processes or products in mind.
