NIGMS Research with Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD), PAR-23-122. CFDA #s 93.859, 93.213, 93.286, 93.279, 93.121, 93.242, 93.310, 93.313, 93.307, 93.172, 93.273, 93.173, 93.867, 93.879, and 93.846. Maximum project period is 5 years. Application Deadline: 06/05/2023.
The NIH Research With Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD) Program's overarching goal is to enhance the breadth and geographical location of research and research-related activities supported by NIH. The ReWARD program provides support for the health-related research of scientists who are making a significant contribution to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) and who have no current NIH research project grant funding. The ReWARD program provides funding for both the scientific research and the DEIA activities of investigators. The grant will support scientific research in areas related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) and ongoing DEIA activities focused on enhancing diversity in the biomedical research enterprise within the United States and territories.

NIMH Neurological Effects of COVID-19 |
|
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications
focused on the neurological and neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19 (neuro-COVID) and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (neuro-PASC) and on the effect of COVID-19 on pre-infection neurologic conditions.
Applications investigating the pathophysiology and mechanisms of neuro-COVID and neuro-PASC and neurologically-focused human subjects research, as well as those proposing studies of scientifically compelling pathways to prevent the development of neuro-PASC or to accelerate the development of effective treatments for PASC-related neurological complications are of particular interest for this NOFO.
