Constructive Collisions: Neuroscience x Environmental Health
Tuesday, October 11, 2022 | 11:45 AM - 2:00 PM
Rollins School of Public Health, 8th Floor
Lawrence P. & Ann Estes Klamon Room
1518 Clifton Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30322
Join us for an in-person, on-campus event that will include two exciting collaboration opportunities to connect researchers working in Neuroscience x Environmental Health.
The Office of SVPR, in partnership with HERCULES Exposome Research Center, Goizueta Institute @ Emory Brain Health, and the Department of Human Genetics, invites Emory researchers who work in environmental health, brain health and the neurosciences, and other related disciplines to attend. Faculty who do not currently work in this space but who are interested are also welcome.
NIH has formally expressed interest in promoting interdisciplinary research and addressing current gaps and opportunities in the intersection of these research areas.
This session will host Lightning Talk presenters who will share brief 10-minute presentations on their ongoing work and future research interests. Following Lighting Talks, we will host a Pitch Session where event attendees will network, collaborate, and brainstorm project ideas that can lead to extramural funding in this area. The event will culminate with each team pitching a real seed project, with up to three teams receiving small, on-the-spot funding to support new collaborations.
**Parking and Box Lunch Included**

Human Networks and Data Science (HNDS)
The Human Networks and Data Science program (HNDS) supports research that enhances understanding of human behavior by leveraging data and network science research across a broad range of topics. HNDS research will identify ways in which dynamic, distributed, and heterogeneous data can provide novel answers to fundamental questions about individual and group behavior. HNDS is especially interested in proposals that provide data-rich insights about human networks to support improved health, prosperity, and security.
Submission Deadline: 1/12/2023

Epigenetic Mechanisms Regulating HIV CNS Latency and Neuropathogenesis Using Novel Single Cell Technologies (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies on the epigenetic mechanisms regulating HIV Central Nervous System (CNS) latency and/or neuropathogenesis using in-vitro (macrophages, microglia and astrocytes, organoids), ex-vivo (post-mortem tissues) and in-vivo systems (animal models). Strategies to target epigenetic pathways for achieving sustained HIV remission and treatment of HIV associated-CNS dysfunction are encouraged. The use novel single cell technologies are also strongly encouraged but is not a requirement. Basic and translational research in domestic and international settings are of interest. Multidisciplinary research teams and collaborations are encouraged but not required. High risk/high payoff projects that lack preliminary data may be most appropriate for the companion R21 FOA, RFA-MH-22-281 while applicants with preliminary data may wish to apply using the R01 mechanism.
Deadline: 12/5/2022

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Clinical Data and Safety Management Center (CDSMC) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for the NIAID CDSMC, which will support a broad range of critical support services, including data management and processing, safety and pharmacovigilance management and processing, and sample tracking systems for NIAID-funded clinical trials, integrated studies of underlying mechanisms, clinical studies (e.g., longitudinal studies, genetic studies, etc.), and studies to identify and validate surrogates/biomarkers of immune-mediated diseases in the areas of asthma and allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation.

CiscoResearchGifts-Sustainability
Information technology systems and infrastructures represent, by some estimates, approximately 4% of the net contribution towards greenhouse gas emissions. While actions can be undertaken to reduce both the energy required for power and cooling, as well as reducing the embedded emissions, ICT infrastructures offer the potential to help reduce the resource consumption and emissions from other sources of activity. In other words, we may see ICT sector emission increasing while other sectors decrease. 'No decarbonization without digitalization'.
Deadline: rolling

Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL)
The Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) Program is committed to funding research and practice, with continued focus on investigating a range of informal STEM learning (ISL) experiences and environments that make lifelong learning a reality. This Program seeks proposals that center equity and belonging, and further the well-being of individuals and communities who have historically been and continue to be excluded, under-served, or underrepresented, due to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, neurodiversity, geographic location, and economic status, among others, as well as their intersections. The current solicitation encourages proposals from institutions and organizations that serve public audiences, and specifically focus on public engagement with and understanding of STEM, including community STEM; public participation in scientific research (PPSR); science communication; intergenerational STEM engagement; and STEM media.
Deadline: 1/11/2023

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports pilot work for subsequent studies testing the effectiveness of strategies to deliver evidence-based mental health services, treatment interventions, and/or preventive interventions (EBPs) in low-resourced mental health specialty and non-specialty settings within the United States. The FOA targets settings where EBPs are not currently delivered or delivered with fidelity, such that there are disparities in mental health and related functional outcomes (e.g., employment, educational attainment, stable housing, integration in the community, treatment of comorbid substance use disorders) for the population(s) served.

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.
Deadline: 10/5/2022

Proposal Development Support for Equipment Proposals
The Office of the SVPR is pleased to offer proposal development support to principal investigators preparing proposals to secure shared research equipment through the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation (NSF MRI) program, National Institute of Health’s S10 Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (SIG) or High-End Instrumentation Grant Program (HEI), or similar funding mechanism.
Selected participants will receive proposal development support for the June 2023 (NIH S10), Fall 2023/Jan 2024 (NSF MRI), or other relevant submission deadlines. Please see Emory’s InfoReady portal for additional details and the full Request for Applications.
Deadline: 11/18/2022

Featured Limited Submission Internal Competition | |
NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program
This program is institutionally limited therefore an internal competition must be held. Emory as an institution is limited to three (3) applications for this program. While the overall limit is three (3) applications, Emory may submit no more than two (2) applications in Track 1 and no more than one (1) submission in Track 2.
An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to develop next-generation research instruments that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research.
Deadline: 10/6/2022
