Proof of Concept grant for KAW funded researchers - Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW) and SciLifeLab
The purpose of the Proof of Concept grant is to bridge the gap from academic research to innovations in life science. The grant gives researchers the opportunity to develop their early-stage discoveries towards validated methods, products or processes and provides the opportunity to carry out activities that validate and accelerate the development of the project and prepare for innovation and commercialization. The grant is meant as a specific goal-oriented project to develop an academic discovery towards an innovation and a product. Hence, translational research without a clear product-oriented thinking or a defined goal at the end of the two year period is not something that can be supported. The grant is tied to the Wallenberg Launch Pad (WALP) mechanism that provides support for academic scientists to develop innovations that make an impact in society.

NIH- Neuropathological Interactions Between COVID-19 and ADRD (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-23-214
Upcoming deadlines: October 04, 2023
Abstract: This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications that propose studies in animal, cell culture, and/or human tissue models to elucidate the mechanisms by which COVID-19 interacts with and/or modulates Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD)-relevant mechanisms and outcomes. Proposed studies must be disease mechanistic in nature, and either the model itself or the experimental readouts must incorporate ADRD risk factors, causes, pathologies, or relevant comorbidities.
NIH- Leveraging Social Networks to Promote Widespread Individual Behavior Change (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity ID: RFA-AG-24-025
Upcoming deadlines: November 03, 2023
Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite basic observational or experimental behavioral and/or social science R01 applications that test how intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change interact with, influence, or are influenced by characteristics of social networks, with implications for health. Research supported through this NOFO will examine at least two levels of analysis: interpersonal processes and social network characteristics. Projects will identify targets for future social network health behavior change interventions across the lifespan, especially in populations in which they are currently largely underdeveloped and untested (e.g., populations in mid- to- late life). Basic research to develop, refine, or optimize measures (i.e., assays) of putative targets (e.g., intra/interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change and/or social network characteristics) is also supported by this NOFO.

Thrasher Research Fund - Early Career Award Program
Upcoming deadline: September 12, 2023 (Noon Mountain Time) (Twice a year)
The Fund is open to a wide variety of research topics. We do not focus on a particular disease, but all our funded projects deal directly with children's health.
In the Early Career Award Program, the Fund is particularly interested in applicants that show great potential to impact that field of children's health through medical research. Both an applicant's aptitude and inclination toward research are considered. The quality of the mentor and the mentoring relationship are also considered to be important predictors of success.
Each project needs to be under the guidance of a mentor. The qualifications and experience of the mentor will be considered in the evaluation of the application. A mentor may have only one Thrasher Research Fund Early Career Awardee at a time.
- Funding level: a maximum of $25,000 in direct costs for the entire grant. The duration of the project can be up to two years.
