Featured Opportunities

National Institutes of Health | Time-Sensitive Opportunities for Health Research (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)


Supports research to understand health outcomes related to an unexpected and/or time-sensitive event (e.g., emergent environmental threat; pandemic; change in local, state, or national policy; natural disaster) through and accelerated review/award process. Applications must demonstrate that the research proposed is time-sensitive and must be initiated with minimum delay due to a limited window of opportunity to collect baseline data, answer key research questions, and/or prospectively evaluate a new policy or program.



Deadline: Application accepted on a rolling basis

Infectious Diseases

Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC³H-IN) Clinical Research Centers (UG1 Clinical Trial Optional)


This FOA invites applications to participate in a research program cooperative agreement to support the Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN). The Network will expand and/or improve successes achieved by PATC3H to new geographic settings with limited implementation science (IS) research capacity and/or risk populations who are poorly represented in international adolescent HIV research (e.g. sexual and gender minorities; commercial sex workers; drug users) and stimulate much needed IS research in a neglected area of public health significance: prevention of new HIV infections among adolescents at risk and the identification of, and linkage and retention to care of and long-term viral suppression among youth living with HIV in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs).


Deadline: 12/6/2022

Understanding the role of Gut Immune dysfunction and Gut Microbiome in pathogenesis of Central Nervous System co-morbidities in people living with HIV (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)


The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies to investigate mechanisms by which the gut microbiome and gut immune system modulates the brain functions, circuits, neurotransmitters, signaling pathways and synaptic plasticity in the context of HIV and Anti-retroviral therapy.


AIDS Deadline: 11/18/2022

Mechanism-Focused Research to Promote Adherence to Healthful Behaviors to Prevent Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)


This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to address psychological and interpersonal mechanisms driving adherence to behaviors or lifestyle changes relevant to the prevention of cognitive decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). Mechanisms of adherence may be studied in new, early- to late-stage (including Stages I-IV) behavior change trials. Applications should seek to identify malleable, mechanistic, psychological, or interpersonal targets that, if modified, will strengthen adherence to, maintenance of, and continued/renewed engagement in behaviors that may promote cognitive health and prevent AD/ADRD.


Deadline: 1/20/2023

Clinical Coordinating Center for the Network of Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials (NEXT - CCC) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)


The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by NINDS, is to invite applications to participate as a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) in the Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials. This clinical research network will develop and conduct multiple, scientifically sound, possibly biomarker-informed exploratory clinical trials evaluating the most promising therapies, whether from academic, foundation or industry discoveries. Examples include Phase 2 clinical trials and clinical research studies aimed at validating biomarkers and clinical outcomes in preparation for clinical trials, phase 2-3 trials if warranted by the nature of the studied population (such as rare diseases), and platform trials where applicable. In addition, the CCC will organize and maintain a gene therapy consortium, for the purposes of conduction early phase gene therapy trials in rare diseases.
