Funding Opportunity ID: NOT-AI-24-024
Upcoming deadlines: June 05, 2024. Standard dates apply until March 17, 2027.
Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to support research on the discovery and characterization of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs), also referred to as Primary Immunodeficiencies, to understand the causes and mechanisms of disease, enable early detection and molecular diagnosis, and support the development of strategies to treat and eventually cure these disorders.
New Approaches for Measuring Brain Changes Across Longer Timespans (R01, R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-24-160 (R01); PAR-24-161 (R21)
Upcoming deadlines: June 5, 2024 (R01) and June 16, 2024 (R21). Standard dates apply until May 08, 2027.
Abstract: The purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage multidisciplinary investigators to develop new approaches or apply existing approaches in novel ways to measure brain activity, connectivity, genomics, or other aspects across the age spectrum of neurodevelopment. The overarching goal is to extend our understanding of brain development and aging, including studies of the neurodevelopmental origins of later health and disease. Research can include healthy human participants of any age; specific clinical groups such as those with cognitive, motor, or affective regulation challenges; and/or animal research on these domains of function. The studies can focus on longitudinal neuroanatomical or functional changes at any level, including genetics/genomics, single cells, connectomics, neural population activity patterns, and others. This funding opportunity is intended to encourage technological and conceptual innovation to improve repeated measures across longer epochs of the lifespan, to better predict outcomes at later ages.
This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
