Implant Dentistry Research Grant |
|
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry Foundation (AAIDF) Research Grants Program is intended to provide limited support for meritorious dental implant research projects which include, but are not limited to, the following purposes:
- To conduct research that determines the feasibility of a larger research project.
- To develop and test new techniques and procedures.
- To conduct small clinical or animal research projects.
- To analyze grant data.
Investigators from any scientific discipline whose research projects relate to dental implantology and are at any stage of their career may apply for a grant. These grant awards are also appropriate for those changing areas of research fields to dental implant research or resuming research careers.

The SFFILM Documentary Film Fund (DFF) supports engaging documentaries in post-production which exhibit compelling stories, intriguing characters, and an original, innovative visual approach.
DFF grants are awarded once each year to documentary feature projects and are open to filmmakers internationally. Individual grant amounts and the number of grants made will be determined on an annual basis. As with all SFFILM grants, in addition to the cash awards, recipients will gain access to numerous benefits through the comprehensive and dynamic SFFILM Makers artist development program.
Project Criteria
- Project cannot be a work for hire.
- Project must be a feature length documentary (60 minutes or more).
- Project must be within 3 months of beginning post-production from the final deadline.
- Projects can be produced or based anywhere in the world.
- Projects must be consistent with SFFILM’s mission and represent an imaginative contribution to the moving image art form.
- Project reflects innovation in storytelling and visual style.
- Projects that primarily use interviews as a storytelling device will not be considered.

Competitive Academic Agreement Program |
|
PHMSA hereby requests applications from nonprofit institutions of higher education for Competitive Academic Agreement Program (CAAP) grant funding to research innovative solutions in three pipeline safety topic areas.
PHMSA developed, and launched, the Competitive Academic Agreement Program (CAAP) in 2013 to spur innovation by enabling academic research to focus on high-risk, high-reward solutions to a wide range of pipeline safety challenges. Through this program, PHMSA partners with universities and academia on research to expose students to pipeline safety challenges and illustrate how their technical discipline is needed in the pipeline safety field. To date, CAAP has awarded 67 projects with investments totaling approximately $19.9 million in federal support.
PHMSA is encouraging Minority Serving Institutions to participate in the CAAP. This will improve the diversity of research projects currently funded under CAAP and will support PHMSA’s efforts to develop further research capabilities surrounding environmental engineering and renewable energy transportation.

The DOT PHMSA would like to invite students and professors to participate in our CAAP. If you feel that the CAAP would be a good fit for the research objectives of your university, please join one of our virtual information sessions to discuss our program in depth.

Career Development Award in Aging |
|
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites early-stage physicians and other health professional investigators with a commitment to aging and/or aging-related diseases to apply for this award with the goal of advancing their research and leadership skills in their specialty and in the broader field of aging and geriatrics research.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is pursuing this initiative to recruit early-stage investigators who have successfully competed for a research grant and begun to establish research programs and who, through this award, will be ready to assume leadership roles in their field of expertise and 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 Program Director/Primary Investigator (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.
This 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 a lead investigator should apply to the companion FOA, RFA-AG-24-015.
