High Priority Immunology Grants

Deadline: February 5, 2016

The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to augment the maintenance and growth of the NIAID portfolio of investigator-initiated R01 grants in fundamental immunology. It seeks to address a decline in NIAID immunology R01 applications and awards that has occurred in the past several fiscal years. Basic immunology and basic immune mechanisms involved in host defense and immune-mediated diseases are of high programmatic interest in this FOA.

Neurobiology of Migraine

Deadline: February 5, 2016

National Institutes of Health (NIH) participating Institutes and Centers invite applications from institutions/organizations to perform innovative research that will elucidate the mechanisms underlying migraine, expand our current knowledge of the role of genetic, physiological, biopsychosocial, and environmental influences in migraine susceptibility and progression, and explore new therapeutic targets and therapies for acute migraine management and longer term prevention. This program will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism.

Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consor

Deadline: February 10, 2016

NIAAA seeks integrated, multidisciplinary, collaborative research projects studying neuronal mechanisms of excessive alcohol intake associated with alcohol dependence. One focus of the initiative will be to examine brain immune signaling mechanisms promoting and controlling excessive alcohol consumption. A second focus will be to examine enduring consequences of stress challenges on adaptations in brain circuitry leading to excessive drinking and to altered stress responsiveness.

Biomechanics and Mechanobiology

Deadline: February 16, 2016

The BMMB Program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. An emphasis is placed on multiscale mechanics approaches in the study of organisms that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue, and organ domains. The influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration, and aging of tissues is an important concern. In addition, the relationships between mechanical behavior and extracellular matrix composition and organization are of interest. Funded projects may include theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as smart materials that are self-designing.

Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants

Deadline: February 16, 2016

NIH and it’s participating Institutes and Centers invite applications which establish the feasibility of technologies, techniques or methods that: 1) explore a new multidisciplinary approach to a biomedical challenge; 2) are high-risk but have high impact; and 3) develop data that may lead to significant future research. An EBRG application may propose hypothesis-driven, discovery-driven, developmental, or design-directed research and is appropriate for evaluating unproven approaches for which there is minimal or no preliminary data.

Pre-application for a Biomedical Technology Research Resource

Deadline: March 15, 2015

National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) invites pre-applications for the creation of national Biomedical Technology Research Resources (BTRRs). These Resources develop new or improved technology driven by the needs of basic, translational, and clinical researchers. The BTRRs are charged to make their technologies available the biomedical research community, to train members of this community in the use of the technologies, and to disseminate both the technologies and the Resource’s experimental results broadly.
