A total of 13 institutes and offices of the National Institutes of Health invite applications for their HEAL initiative - discovery of biomarkers and biomarker signatures to facilitate clinical trials for pain therapeutics (UG3/UH3 clinical trial optional) funding opportunity. This supports research that promotes the discovery of candidate biomarkers or biomarker signatures for pain that can be used to facilitate the testing of non-opioid pain therapeutics in phase II clinical trials. This initiative aims to deliver therapeutic response prediction or monitoring candidate pain biomarkers or biomarker signatures that are ready for definitive analytical and clinical validation appropriate for use in clinical trial design or decision-making in clinical practice. This opportunity uses a UG3/UH3 phased innovation award mechanism. The UG3 phase will support preparatory studies and the UH3 phase will support continued method development, algorithm development and further analytical, biological, and clinical validation. Investigators are encouraged to form collaborations and seek additional consultants as needed for the project.

NIH Biomedical Technology Development and Dissemination Center (RM1 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed), PAR-20-104 - The maximum budget that may be requested is $850,000 in direct costs per year, excluding equipment and consortium F&A costs. Applications requesting more than this amount will not be reviewed. Because of the technology-intensive nature of these Centers, there may be a need to acquire specialized equipment. Equipment requests are expected to vary with the nature of the technology development projects proposed. Funds for such specialized equipment may be requested in excess of the $850,000 operating limit if well justified. Application Deadline: 01/26/2023
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications for national Biomedical Technology Development and Dissemination (BTDD) Centers. The BTDD program supports the development of technologies once their feasibility has been established and the dissemination of these technologies to the wider biomedical research community. The program encourages investigators to propose projects that address any of the biomedical research areas within the mission of NIGMS. The Centers are required to make their technologies available to the research community in a sustainable manner, to provide user training, and to disseminate the Center’s technologies and results. Centers should be at the leading edge of their field with respect to both technology development and engagement of the relevant research community. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIGMS staff at least 10 weeks prior to the application due date to ascertain whether the proposed project is appropriate for an NIGMS BTDD Center.

The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) is now accepting applications for the Academic Year 2022-2023 Undergraduate Research Opportunity (UROP) scholarship program to promote undergraduate research in all NSHE institutions.
Focus: The UROP program promotes intensive undergraduate research opportunities for university students. Through these research experiences, our goal is to enhance the recruitment and retention of undergraduates in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines, particularly those related to fire science.
Eligibility: Undergraduate students enrolled full time (12 credits), during both Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, at any NSHE institution during the time they are conducting their research. Scholar must have an NSHE faculty mentor to supervise their research project.
Scholarship Amount: $4,000 for students and $750 for faculty mentors
Research Period: November 3, 2022 – May 31, 2023
Writing Workshop Sessions:
Want to learn more about this scholarship opportunity? Need assistance in writing your application? Sessions will be held for NSHE students through both the UNLV and UNR Writing Centers. To attend the writing workshops, register here. The first session will be held: Tuesday, September 6, 2022, 2:00-3:00 PM.
