Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants

Deadline: October 16, 2016

The goal for exploratory/developmental bioengineering research grants (EBRG) is to foster the exploration and development of innovative technologies, models, techniques, designs, and methods that have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research by infusing principles and concepts from the quantitative sciences to transform our understanding of biological, clinical or translational science.

Accelerating Research on Intervertebral Disc

Deadline: October 16, 2016

National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) invites applications for studies on basic biology of the intervertebral disc. The NIAMS invites investigators from all areas of cell biology, bioengineering, and orthopaedic research to consider individual or collaborative efforts to address these needs.

Biomedical Engineering

Deadline: October 20, 2016

The goal of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) program is to provide research opportunities to develop novel ideas into discovery-level and transformative projects that integrate engineering and life sciences in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity in the long-term. BME projects must be at the interface of engineering and life sciences, and advance both engineering and life sciences.

Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering Program

Deadline: October 20, 2016

The Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering (BBE) program supports fundamental engineering research that advances the understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes in engineering biology and eventually leads to the development of enabling technology for advanced manufacturing and/or applications in support of the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and bioenergy industries, or with applications in health or the environment.

Bioengineering Research Grants

Deadline: October 5, 2016

The goal for a bioengineering research grant (BRG) is to foster the development of an innovative technology, model, technique, design, or method that has the potential for significant impact on biomedical research by infusing principles and concepts from the quantitative sciences.

Community Partnerships to Advance Research

Deadline: October 5, 2016

National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites applications to partner with communities using Community Engaged Research (CEnR) methodologies that will enhance relationships leading to better interventions and positive health outcomes. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism.

Detecting and Preventing Suicide Behavior, Ideation and Self-Harm in Youth in Contact with the Juvenile Justice System

Deadline: October 5, 2016

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites applications for research to test the effectiveness of combined strategies to both detect and intervene to reduce the risk of suicide behavior, suicide ideation, and non-suicidal self-harm (NSSI) by youth in contact with the juvenile justice system.

Bioengineering Research Partnership (BRP): Non- or Minimally-Invasive Methods to Measure Biochemical Substances during Neonatal and Perinatal Patient Care and Research

Deadline: October 5, 2016

National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) invites applications from bioengineering and biomedical scientists to collaborate in developing non- or minimally-invasive methods for measuring biochemical substances in connection with the care of perinatal patient populations. Lab-on-a-chip methods for rapid diagnostic or prognostic purposes are also encouraged.

NLM Express Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics

Deadline: October 5, 2016

National Library of Medicine (NLM) offers support for innovative research in biomedical informatics and data science. The scope of NLM’s interest in the research domain of informatics is broad and interdisciplinary, developing methods and approaches in biomedical computing, data science and related information fields for application domains of health and biomedicine, including health care delivery, basic biomedical research, clinical and translational research, precision medicine, public health, biosurveillance, health information management in disasters, and similar areas.
