The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital health technologies (DHTs) such as sensors, apps, and wearables in medical research. DHTs allowed for the continuation of health care and clinical trials while minimizing the risk of spreading COVID-19. These circumstances helped demonstrate the value and feasibility of using DHTs in clinical trials.
The PhRMA Foundation recognizes the need to enhance diversity in clinical trials, and the use of digital health tools also has the potential to support more equitable participation in medical research. Through this new program, the Foundation will invest in research on the use of DHTs in underrepresented populations in clinical trials to advance FDA regulatory decision-making.

Funding
Up to eight $25,000 planning grants: Awarded based on letters of intent (LOI) to support development of a detailed research proposal to submit to compete for the two larger grants
Up to two $500,000 grants: Awarded to the top research proposals.

The Stimulating Urology Interdisciplinary Team Opportunity Research (SUITOR) program is intended to promote innovative, high quality, interdisciplinary research relevant to the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The NIDDK invites investigator-initiated research project grant applications (R01s) in specific areas of basic, translational, or clinical research in specific benign urologic conditions and diseases where needs and opportunities for progress are particularly timely. As such, research topics of interest will change over time to take advantage of emerging opportunities. The research topic area previously supported by the SUITOR program, urinary incontinence, will now transition to neurourology.

NIDDK High Impact Interdisciplinary Science |
|
The purpose of the High Impact, Interdisciplinary Science grants program is to support high impact ideas that may lay the foundation for new fields of investigation within the mission of NIDDK. The interdisciplinary approach encouraged by this FOA is envisioned to generate a research resource and/or foster discovery-based or hypothesis-generating science that can have a significant impact on the broader scientific community. This FOA seeks novel approaches in areas that address specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that will advance the area in significant ways designed to accelerate scientific progress in the understanding, treatment, and prevention of diseases within the mission of the NIDDK.

Air Force Research Laboratory, Aerospace Systems Directorate is soliciting white papers and potentially technical and cost proposals under this announcement to foster innovative research in the area of aircraft structural integrity. This initiative targets higher education program in engineering at colleges and universities located in the United States, and will encourage students and professors to perform fundamental research and development (R&D) directly related to the technical objectives of AFRL/RQV. The objective of the Structural Integrity Research Collaborations for Aircraft (SIRCA) program is to enable collaborative research partnerships between AFRL, Academia, and Industry, in areas relevant to aircraft to, structural integrity including, but not limited to, risk and reliability, metal fatigue and fracture, and composite damage modeling. These technical areas are necessary for developing critical war-fighting technologies for the nation's air, space and cyberspace forces, as well as commercial derivatives.

The DISES Program supports research projects that advance basic scientific understanding of integrated socio-environmental systems and the complex interactions (dynamics, processes, and feedbacks) within and among the environmental (biological, physical and chemical) and human ("socio") (economic, social, political, or behavioral) components of such a system. The program seeks proposals that emphasize the truly integrated nature of a socio-environmental system versus two discrete systems (a natural one and a human one) that are coupled. DISES projects must explore a connected and integrated socio-environmental system that includes explicit analysis of the processes and dynamics between the environmental and human components of the system.
PIs are encouraged to develop proposals that push conceptual boundaries and build new theoretical framing of the understanding of socio-environmental systems. Additionally, we encourage the exploration of multi-scalar dynamics, processes and feedbacks between and within the socio-environmental system.
DISES will support research projects, exploratory projects, and Research Coordination Networks (RCN).
- DISES Track 1 research awards will be up to five years in duration with a budget up to $1,800,000.
- DISES-EX Track 2 exploratory awards will be up to three years in duration with a budget up to $750,000.
- DISES-RCN Track 3 research coordination network awards will be four or five years in duration with a budget up to $500,000.
