National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention/CDC/DHHS
Application Deadline: 14-Sep-2020 [Optional][LOI/Pre-App]
Summary: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support promising epidemiologic and implementation science research in racial/ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV while strengthening the capacity for conducting such research among investigators working in these communities. The NOFO supports Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention's (CDC's) goals to promote health and reduce disease and disability by funding research that has the potential to result in high public health impact.
The NOFO is aligned with the federal initiative for Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) by 2030. The EHE plan encompasses the following four key strategies: (i) diagnose all individuals with HIV as early as possible; (ii) treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression; (iii) prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including PrEP and syringe services programs (SSPs); (iv) respond quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed prevention and treatment services to people who need them.
The goals of the NOFO are:
To build capacity in epidemiologic and implementation science research related to HIV prevention and services in minority communities by partnering with early-career investigators to address pertinent research questions with potential for accelerating the progress to Ending the HIV Epidemic by 2030.
To foster investigator-initiated research by early-career investigators at academic institutions, who serve minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV infections, that complements and extends programmatic activities by the local and state departments of health toward Ending the HIV Epidemic by 2030.

Cellular and Molecular Biology of Complex Brain Disorders (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Application Deadline: 16-Oct-2020
Summary: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research on the biology of high confidence risk factors associated with complex brain disorders, with a focus on the intracellular, transcellular and circuit substrates of neural function. For the purposes of this FOA, the term “complex” can refer to a multifactorial contribution to risk (e.g., polygenic and/or environmental) and/or highly distributed functional features of the brain disorder. Studies may be either hypothesis-generating (unbiased discovery) or hypothesis-testing in design and may utilize in vivo, in situ, or in vitro experimental paradigms, e.g., model organisms or human cell-based assays. While behavioral paradigms and outcome measures can be incorporated into the research design to facilitate the characterization of intracellular, transcellular and circuit mechanisms, these are neither required nor expected. Studies should not attempt to “model” disorders but instead should aim to elucidate the neurobiological impact of individual or combined risk factor(s), such as the affected molecular and cellular components and their relationships within defined biological process(es). This can include the fundamental biology of these factors, components and processes. The resulting paradigms, component pathways and biological processes should be disseminated with sufficient detail to enrich common and/or federated data resources (e.g., those contributing to the Gene Ontology, Synaptic Gene Ontology, FAIR Data Informatics) in order to bridge the gap between disease risk factors, biological mechanism and therapeutic target identification. The present announcement (R21 activity code) can be used for applications to develop early stage, high-risk, exploratory approaches or establish proof-of-concept where there is little or no preliminary data.
