Funding Opportunity: Rapid Response Grants from Johns Hopkins Global Center on Childhood Obesity

Announced On: Jan 18, 2013
http://www.jhgcco.org/announcement_20130118.html
The NIH-funded Johns Hopkins Global Center on Childhood Obesity (JHGCCO) is seeking applications to jumpstart systems-oriented childhood obesity research in a rapidly changing physical and policy environment by supporting opportune rapid response pilot projects with timelines that would not allow funding through the regular NIH review cycles. Similar RFAs will be released semi-annually between 2011-2016. Visit the Center website at http://www.jhgcco.org/ for related information. We invite applications from investigators in the United States and globally for innovative rapid response pilot projects using “systems science” concepts or frameworks to examine time sensitive environmental mechanisms or policy changes related to the childhood obesity epidemic. See the RFA for a detailed description of what constitutes “systems science”. Projects should have the potential to inform the development or confirmation of community- or population-based interventions. Up to 3 projects this round, each up to $30,000 total costs, will be funded.
A Study Concept Summary is due on February 14, 2013, and invited full proposals are due on March 18, 2013.
Informational Teleconference: February 4, 2013, 11:00 AM (All times are U.S. Eastern Standard Time). Please register at: http://www.jhgcco.org/RRPC.html

Bridging the Gap Between Cancer Mechanism and Population Science (U01)

NCI, NIA
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for projects that bridge biological mechanism to population level scales. By incorporating insights and data from one end of the cancer research spectrum into the framework of the other, projects should be able to cross-validate data gathered at different scales, and explore links between basic biology, population science, and potential health applications in treatment, prevention, diagnosis, and/or screening. Proposed projects should pose a challenging cancer research question that can be addressed by connecting these two ends of the research spectrum that would be difficult to address or explain through biological or epidemiological investigation alone. Only a single cohesive project integrating aspects from these two areas is allowed in each application.
Application Due Date: March 8, 2013; October 4, 2013; etc.

Advancing Regulatory Science through Novel Research and Science-Based Technologies (U01)

(RFA-RM-10-006 )

Application Receipt Date(s): April 27, 2010

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-10-006.html

This FOA, issued by the National Institutes of Health, encourages applications from institutions/organizations that propose to study the applicability of novel technologies and approaches towards the development and regulatory review of medical products (including drugs, biologics, and devices). This regulatory science initiative will foster the development, evaluation and availability of new or improved tools, methods, standards, and applied science that support a better understanding and improved evaluation of product safety, quality, effectiveness, and manufacturing throughout the product life cycle. This area of science has knowledge gaps that deserve special emphasis and would benefit from strategic coordination and planning by NIH and FDA. Advances in this area depend on the incorporation of cutting-edge science and evidence-based knowledge into regulatory decision making. Support through this FOA for regulatory science research will facilitate the translation of biomedical discoveries to improve prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of human health problems.
