| | | | Description: Johnson & Johnson Innovation will consider global applicants with solutions across the pharmaceutical, medical device and consumer sectors. The competition seeks to find entrepreneurs, researchers or startup companies who are advancing potentially game-changing, early stage innovations that have the potential to cross traditional boundaries of the pharmaceutical, device or consumer health sectors. | | | | Learn More | | |
| |
| | | | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from single institutions or consortia of institutions to participate in the Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Centers (AADCRC) program. The overarching goal of the program is to improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of these conditions and to provide a rational foundation for new, effective treatments and prevention strategies. | | | | RFA-AI-16-065 | | |
| |
| | | | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), under the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative, is to provide time-limited, catalytic support for activities necessary to develop or extend/refine data and metadata standards and/or related tools in areas relevant to the NIH basic, translational, and clinical research mission. Projects can support activities at any point in the data standards lifecycle and should build on existing partnerships, infrastructure, and resources whenever possible. | | | | RFA-ES-16-010 | | |
| |
| | | | This FOA encourages the submission of applications that requires multi-project, synergistic collaboration between outstanding scientists that blends multiple research approaches by multi-disciplinary research teams. | | | | PAR-16-390 | | |
| |
| | | | The goal of this FOA is to develop, validate, or conduct a screen using a novel assay to identify therapeutic or imaging agents relevant to health related outcomes of interest to the NIDDK. It is expected that state of the art measures of basic cellular processes or molecular events that are key mediators of disease pathogenesis are incorporated into these novel assays. | | | | PA-16-374 | | |
| |
| | | | The purpose of this FOA is to encourage innovative exploratory and developmental health services research to improve minority health and/or reduce health disparities at the health care system-level as well as within clinical settings. R01 also available. | | | | PAR-16-222 | | |
| |
| | | | The CTSA Program Meeting Planning Committee is soliciting abstracts for the CTSA Program meeting to be held on October 25th in Chicago, IL. The theme of the meeting is Harnessing the Power of Collaboration in Clinical and Translational Science and will feature presentations from the community. | | | | Submit Abstracts | | |
| |
| | | | This is a three-year basic science award that provides young scientists with support for their research to bridge the gap between completion of research training and attainment of status as an independent research scientist. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | This award is an opportunity for new and early stage investigators to pursue research programs of high interest to the NIBIB that integrate engineering and the physical sciences with the life and behavioral sciences. A Trailblazer project may be exploratory, developmental, proof of concept, or high risk-high impact, and may be technology design-directed, discovery-driven, or hypothesis-driven. | | | | PAR-16-390 | | |
| |
| | | | If you have a research ethics question or are pondering a research ethics dilemma, John Banja, Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, Emory, and Rebecca Pentz, Professor of Research Ethics in Hematology and Oncology, Winship, are available to confidentially discuss it and offer non-binding advice. Please call or email John at 404-712-4804/jbanja@emory.edu or call or text Becky at 404-831-1758. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Scientific Quality Reviewers provide key data to assess the primary outcome of protocol quality. Participation is an opportunity for CTSA and senior faculty to demonstrate alignment with NCATS initiatives by collaborating in a consortium-level project, and for junior faculty to gain valuable service experience. | | | | Read More | | |
