The NIH Director’s Pioneer Award Program supports individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose highly innovative research projects with the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important areas relevant to the mission of NIH.
For the program to support the best possible researchers and
research, applications are sought which reflect the full diversity of the nation’s research workforce.
Thus, individuals from all backgrounds and from the full spectrum of eligible institutions in all geographic locations are strongly encouraged to apply to this Funding Opportunity Announcement.
In addition, applications in all topics relevant to the broad mission of NIH are welcome, including, but not limited to, topics in the behavioral, social, biomedical, applied, and formal sciences and topics that may involve basic, translational, or clinical research.
To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect substantially different scientific directions from those already being pursued in the investigator’s research program or elsewhere.
The NIH Director’s Pioneer Award is a component of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research (HRHR) Program of the NIH Common Fund.
Deadline for Applications: 9/8/2023

National Science Foundation Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Current epidemiological models have proved insufficient to understanding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to human behavioral and social processes that are missing from the models.
These processes include structural characteristics such as differential living conditions and patterns of social interaction, and behavioral characteristics such as responsiveness to incentives and information by different segments of the population.
As a result, the mathematical models and, tools for model analyses and simulations that were developed to respond to the pandemic were not as effective or useful as they could have been.
The IHBEM program is motivated by the urgent need to provide more reliable modeling tools to inform decision making and to evaluate public health policies during pandemics and other public health crises, with the premise that important advances may be made by incorporating human behavioral and social processes in mathematical epidemiological models.
The goal of this program is to minimize unintended outcomes of public health interventions.
Deadline for applications: Submission window: April 3 - April 14, 2023

Substance Use Prevention Services in Primary Care Challenge
The United States is experiencing a significant behavioral health crisis, putting substantial strain on the health care system.
Primary care practices are one potential setting in which to address this crisis, but primary care providers (PCPs) face substantial barriers in identifying individuals who may be at risk for substance use and delivering evidence-based prevention interventions to reduce the risk for use.
This Challenge seeks creative, visionary, and actionable plans to implement substance use prevention interventions in primary care. Winners will receive prizes of up to $25,000, and NIDA encourages the winners to utilize the awards to support the implementation of substance use prevention services in those primary care practices.
Open until: 5/19/23

ARPA-H Dash competition seeks advanced health concepts!
The ARPA-H Dash is a collaborative online competition open to bold thinkers across health, scientific, and technology communities, as well as the general public.
The ARPA-H Dash will use a bracket format and online discussion, debate, and voting to narrow competition submissions to quarterfinalists, semifinalists, finalists, and a champion idea during March and April 2023. Sixty-four submissions will be grouped within ARPA-H’s strategic focus areas (above). Cash prizes of up to $15,000 will be awarded to ideas that reach competition quarterfinals and beyond, as well as the chance for further development with ARPA-H Program Managers.
Ideas will be accepted through the online portal between March 29 and April 7, 2023

BRAIN Initiative: New Technologies and Novel Approaches for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (RFA-NS-21-026)
Understanding the dynamic activity of brain circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative.
This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for recording and modulation (including various modalities for stimulation/activation, inhibition and manipulation) of cells (i.e., neuronal and non-neuronal) and networks to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the central nervous system (CNS).
This FOA seeks exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and modulating CNS activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain.
It is expected that the proposed research may be high-risk, but if successful, could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research.
Deadline: 5/1/2023

Blood Brain Barrier Response to Antibodies Targeting Beta-Amyloid (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications designed to increase understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms that can be targeted to protect the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and thus brain blood vessels, during therapeutic interventions that target beta-amyloid.
This includes applications that promote the discovery of cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie brain blood vessel responses to passive anti-beta-amyloid immunotherapy that result in amyloid-related imaging abnormalities and other potentially adverse cerebrovascular responses.
Deadline: 6/2/2023

Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities in Environmental Health Sciences (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data.
The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad.
A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.
Deadline: 6/1/2023
