Internal Call for Core Research Projects


The existing CDC-funded Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory is seeking proposals for four (4) core research projects that would be funded through its 5-year competitive renewal. Projects will run for either 2 or 3 years (either 2024-2026 or 2026-2029). To promote equity and transparency in the selection process, the team is soliciting abstracts from investigators interested in leading one of these core research projects.


Deadline: Internal abstracts due September 12th


Contact Stephanie Verna at stephanie.verna@emory.edu if you have any questions.

Dear Colleague Letter: Provisioning Advanced Cyberinfrastructure to Further Research on the Monkeypox Virus


This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) seeks to enhance and accelerate research intended to better understand the spread of the monkeypox virus, inform and educate about the science of virus transmission and prevention, and encourage the development of processes and actions to address this global challenge.



Social Justice / DEI

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation – Policies to Build and Sustain Economic Security and Wealth for Families and Communities of Color


The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to building a Culture of Health that provides everyone in America a fair and just opportunity for health and well-being. Racial disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths have brought to the forefront well-documented and longstanding inequities in family and community wealth and opportunity. Upending centuries of policy decisions that perpetuated racism will require significant transformation to elevate the voices of communities historically excluded from decision-making.


Please contact Nicole Dancz-Bal in OCFR if interested in submitting. 


Letter of Intent Deadline: 09/07/2022

Addressing the Etiology of Health Disparities and Health Advantages Among Immigrant Populations (R01 Clinical trial not allowed)


The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that expand the use of existing data resources to drive new discoveries that can lead to a better understanding of the relationship between early life social determinants of health (SDOH), adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), AD/ADRD biomarkers, and the development of cognitive impairment and dementia, especially in populations experiencing health disparities.

ARPA-H Seed Funding

To help position Emory faculty for the launch of ARPA-H, the Office of the Sr. Vice President for Research, in consultation with the Office of the Provost, has created the ARPA-H seed funds program. These seeds are intended to lead to competitive ARPA-H proposals. In alignment with ARPA-H’s expected culture and processes, this seed funding aims to rapidly de-risk bold, revolutionary concepts in the biomedical and health sciences.


Given the unique culture of ARPA-H and its reliance on program managers to make funding decisions based on the Heilmeier Questions (and not peer review), awardees will receive tailored training and feedback on their responses to the Heilmeier Questions. During and after the conclusion of the seed project, seed recipients will work with the Office of Research Development to refine their ARPA-H pitch.
