Analyzing Early Events in TB and TB/HIV Infection for Interventional Targets (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed) expires 10/12/2023

Due Dates: October 11, 2023

Open Date: Earliest Submission Date: September 11, 2023

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support mechanistic studies of the early stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, with and without HIV, to identify interventional targets for vaccine and host-directed therapies. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support mechanistic studies of early Mtb infection (defined as the time between Mtb exposure and early-stage granuloma formation) in the airway and lung with the ultimate goal of understanding these events in the setting of HIV co-infection.

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) as Potential Therapeutic Targets in TB/HIV (R01/R21), expires 01/08/2022

Due Dates: January 8, 2020; January 8, 2021; January 10, 2022

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for support of innovative clinical, preclinical and non-clinical research to determine the potential of MDSCs as a target for host-directed therapeutics for tuberculosis in the context of HIV co-infection, and to better understand the role of host-induced immunosuppression in the progression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis.

Generating New Insights and Mechanistic Understanding of Antibiotic Resistance Development (R01/R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), expires: 05/08/2021

Application Due Date(s): Standard dates apply , by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to advance select areas of research recognized as critical in the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB), including research focused on understanding the nature of microbial communities, how antibiotics affect them, and how they can be harnessed to prevent disease, as well as research exploring combination therapies to address the emergence of resistance.

Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01/R21 Clinical Trial Optional), expires: 05/08/2022

Application Due Date(s): Standard dates apply, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages investigators to submit research grant applications that will identify, develop, test, evaluate and/or refine strategies to disseminate and implement evidence-based practices (e.g. behavioral interventions; prevention, early detection, diagnostic, treatment and disease management interventions; quality improvement programs) into public health, clinical practice, and community settings. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged.

Mechanisms of Mycobacterial-Induced Immunity in HIV-Infected and Uninfected Individuals to Inform Innovative Tuberculosis Vaccine Design (R01 and R21), expires: 01/14/2022

R01 Application Due Date(s): January 14, 2020, January 14, 2021, and January 14, 2022 by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.

R21 Application Due Date(s): January 14, 2020; January 14, 2021, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages innovative, high risk, high impact research to investigate the innate and/or adaptive immune responses induced by mycobacterial infections, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine (BCG) and/or candidate Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) vaccines in HIV-infected or uninfected individuals. Studies that will provide insights into the immune mechanisms required for protection from Mtb infection/re-infection or progression to active disease in latently infected individuals are encouraged. This research is expected to provide data to advance new hypotheses on immune mechanisms that contribute to the advancement of new tuberculosis (TB) vaccines, including in populations also infected with HIV.

Research on the Health of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Populations (R01/R21), expires 01/08/2021

Application Due Dates: Standard dates/ AIDS dates apply, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) calls for research on the health of transgender and gender nonconforming people of all ages, including both youth and adults who are questioning their gender identity and those individuals who are making or who have made a transition from being identified as one gender to the other. This group encompasses individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex on their original birth certificate or whose gender expression varies significantly from what is traditionally associated with or typical for that sex.
