BRAIN Initiative: Development and Validation of Novel Tools to Probe Cell-Specific and Circuit-Specific Processes in the Brain (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): NIH
The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage research that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application. The development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest or approaches that are expected to target specific cell types and/or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods are encouraged. Tools that can be used in a number of species/model organisms rather than those restricted to a single species are highly desired. Applications that provide approaches that break through existing technical barriers to substantially improve current capabilities are highly encouraged.
Deadline: June 7, 2023. Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA): RFA-MH-21-175
Innovative Research in Cancer Nanotechnology (IRCN) (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): NIH
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled "Innovative Research in Cancer Nanotechnology (IRCN)" encourages applications promoting transformative discoveries in cancer biology and/or oncology through the use of nanotechnology. Proposed projects should address major barriers in cancer biology and/or oncology using nanotechnology and should focus on mechanistic studies to expand the fundamental understanding of nanomaterial and/or nano-device interactions with biological systems. These studies are expected to be relevant to the delivery of nanoparticles and/or nano-devices to desired and intended cancer targets in vivo and/or characterization of detection and diagnostic devices and sensors in vitro. IRCN awards are expected to produce fundamental knowledge to aid future and more informed development of nanotechnology-based cancer interventions.
Deadline: May 4, 2023. Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA): PAR-20-284
Exploratory Grants in Cancer Control (R21 Clinical Trial Optional): NIH
Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages the submission of exploratory/developmental research grant (R21) applications that focus on different aspects of cancer control by modifying behavior, screening, and understanding etiologic factors contributing to the development of cancer, and developing ways to control cancer. The overarching goal is to provide support to promote the early and conceptual stages of research efforts on novel scientific ideas that have the potential to substantially advance population-based cancer research, such as the development of novel techniques, agents, interventions, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of cancer research (e.g. epidemiologic, biomedical, behavioral, health care delivery or clinical).
Deadline: June 7, 2023. Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.

Foundations
Research Grant, amfAR, US
amfAR’s research initiatives are aimed at finding a cure for HIV that will be useful to the 38M people living with HIV. The urgency of our goal demands that we direct our funding to studies that uncover vital knowledge directly applicable to curing HIV. amfAR aims to support research projects focused on curing HIV. Proposals should be interventional:
- The intervention must take place in any in vivo model including people with HIV, non-human primates, or humanized mice, or ex vivo in cells taken from PWH. An intervention tested only in cell lines, or ex vivo in animal cells, does not meet the criteria for this RFP.
- Submissions that propose only describing the reservoir (i.e. no intervention) will not be forwarded for review.
- Specific aims that are descriptive, within a submission that includes an intervention, may be cut by amfAR if the descriptive work does not pertain to changes to the reservoir in response to the intervention.
amfAR’s preference is for interventions that eliminate infected cells or provirus, rather than those that provide for ART-free control of persisting virus.
