The NIH Grant Process: From Submission to Notice of Award
Date: Jan 19, 2022 ‐ 10:00 to 11:30 am EST
Virtual Event
Join us as NIH experts walk through the path of a typical NIH R01 research grant from submission to summary statement to notice of award. Attendees will come away with insights into what happens at each step of the post-submission process, a better understanding of what goes into a summary statement, and what to expect with your notice of award.
This event is jointly hosted by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute, the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, and the Wistar Institute.

Announcing: Proposal Development Support for Mega Grants |
|
The Office of the SVPR is pleased to announce Phase 2 of the pilot program providing comprehensive proposal development support to complex proposals. During Phase 1, the SVPR Office of Research Development (ORD), supported the Emory Leads in Equity, Values, and Transformational Excellence (ELEVATE) proposal led by Principal Investigators Drs. Carolyn Meltzer, Kimberly Jacob Arriola, and Igho Ofotokun. The proposal was developed in response to the NIH’s Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST) request for applications and submitted in September 2021.
In response to faculty requests to expand the service, ORD will provide comprehensive proposal development support to mega grants with budgets of $10M or more during Phase 2 of the pilot.
In collaboration with local RAS units, the services provided by ORD are additive and may include calendaring, coordinating reviews, creating internal communications, and managing supplemental documents. Availability of this optional service is not guaranteed but the team will make every effort to accommodate teams requesting their service.

Potential PIs are encouraged to engage ORD as soon as possible by contacting
Dr. Kimberly Eck, Associate Vice President for Research.

KTGF – Access to Care RFP
Deadline: January 13, 2022
KTGF is interested in improving access to mental health care for children and adolescents through the use of novel models or promising approaches, including (but not limited to) expanding the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services, delivering care in non-psychiatric settings (e.g., primary care, schools, home, or other novel settings), digital technology (e.g., the internet, apps for cell phones), and approaches that help parents access care for their children.
- Academic researchers from universities or research institutions that provide mental and behavioral health programs for children and adolescents up to age 18 are eligible. Investigators can be at any stage in their career but must have collected enough pilot data to inform the development of the proposed research project and must be well enough established to lead an effort such as this.

Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research: Pilot Project Program
Letter of Intent Deadline: January 21, 2022
The Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research (GCDTR) is pleased to announce the 2022 Pilot Funding Program. The CDTR is a collaboration of Emory University, Georgia Tech, and Morehouse School of Medicine, with funding provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and interinstitutional sponsors. The mission of the center is to facilitate and grow diabetes translation research at the partner institutions, within Georgia, and regionally with the overarching theme of health equity across race/ethnicity, age, sex, and gender identity, geography (rural, urban), and associated comorbid conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease, HIV, depression, covid-19, and others).
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
GCDTR is seeking pilot grant proposals in the field of diabetes translation research that advances health equity. Two levels of funding are available for applicants:
-
Preliminary or formative research: This opportunity is for exploratory, feasibility, and formative diabetes health equity studies to generate preliminary data to facilitate a subsequent submission of a research grant for external funding. Examples include, but are not limited to, qualitative fieldwork, community-engaged research for the development of research questions, instrument, or assay testing, and secondary data analyses that leverage existing databases for data science, analytics, and modeling. Budget: up to $30,000 for one year.
-
Prospective clinical or community-based studies: This opportunity is for pilot studies addressing diabetes health equity questions using prospective approaches in clinical or community-based settings to create or strengthen preliminary data to facilitate subsequent external grant submissions. A variety of methods may be used, including social, behavioral, clinical, and community concepts, evaluations of clinical or innovative interventions, and dissemination and implementation studies. Budget: up to $50,000/year

Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS):
Estimated Publication Date of Funding Opportunities Announcement:
March 15, 2022
Centers will establish data collection, analysis, and dissemination pipelines to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping region-to-region connectivity with a minimum resolution of individual cells and/or axon fibers. They will demonstrate the significance of the approach within the context of a chosen CNS sub-volume, by testing specific hypotheses relating circuit structure to function. They will also incorporate toolsets and infrastructure for integrating separately collected data from smaller volumes, as well as from other data collection modalities, and for enabling the neuroscience community to interact with and mine the data for new research questions.
Awards will be integrated into the BRAIN CONNECTS Network, consisting of projects from this FOA and its companion announcements, as a coordinated effort aimed at developing the research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that can span entire brains across multiple scales.

Ono Pharma Breakthrough Science Initiative Awards Program
Internal Submission Deadline: Thursday, January 13, 2022
Emory University is one of 52 Institutions invited to nominate up to 2 (two) submissions for the ONO Initiative in 2022. We will collect faculty interest and determine 2 Emory PIs to nominate for consideration by Ono Pharma Foundation.
THE ONO INITIATIVE: Annually, the Ono Pharma Foundation considers proposals from PIs for research that could ultimately transform human health. Proposals from Principal Investigators will be considered for high-risk and high-reward science research projects which have the potential to lead to science discoveries/solutions and, based on further research, to breakthrough treatments for patients. Although additional areas of research may be added in future years, in 2022 the Ono Pharma Foundation will only consider proposals for scientific research projects addressing the following field of science:
CHEMICAL BIOLOGY RESEARCH: Chemical Biology is defined as research that deals with the interface between chemistry and biology. The criteria for this field are deliberately broad so as not to disqualify potentially innovative and groundbreaking projects.
