Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Health Care's Role in Meeting Patients' Needs<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://anr.rwjf.org/viewCfp.do?cfpId=1459&cfpOverviewId=__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!nDkxQADoKTVmS8KrBnWCKItYVpoyk_Rl1yKNWsfl1JjA-5lxaHaspL5RSVQyEBf9VVg_fw-UxAXDXAQREKo$ >
The purpose of this call for proposals is to identify grantees who can lead an effort to provide:
Part I: Clear Principles that set a high standard for the health care sector to provide equitable care that fully addresses people's physical, emotional, and social needs; and
Part II: Guidance for implementing care delivery that is fully responsive to patients' goals, needs, and life circumstances, using maternal morbidity and mortality as a case example.
We expect that these component parts may be led by separate organizations and we invite applicants to apply to lead either one or both component parts. The goals of the program are to:

  *   Use evidence and engagement to articulate a set of principles describing bold aspirations for the health care sector to be responsive to patients' goals, needs, and life circumstances, along the full spectrum of population health improvement activities. These principles should be supported by a set of clear, tested messages that resonate with audiences we aim to reach and influence (Part I, Clear Principles);
  *   Demonstrate-with concrete examples, and using the principles identified in Part I-how health care can and should help the people they serve live their healthiest lives, with a focus on making change within health care delivery systems (Part II, Guidance);
  *   Identify and execute communications strategies targeted to health care leaders and stakeholders (Parts I and II, Clear Principles and Guidance).
$2-3M (depending on Part applied for) for two-year projects.
Brief proposals due August 15, 2019. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: August 1, 2019.

This initiative will support innovative research on decision making across the social sciences that examines causes, consequences, processes, or context from a behavioral or alternative perspective. We seek to support a wide range of research on decision-making in context by scholars in psychology, political science, sociology, and other social science fields who are pursuing questions consistent with the aims of the Foundation.
This initiative will support research proposals from multiple methodological perspectives that will further our understanding of decision making processes and human behavior in the contexts of work, race, ethnicity, immigration, and social inequality, broadly conceived, in the U.S. Priority will be given to research related to our core programs<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.russellsage.org/programs__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!nDkxQADoKTVmS8KrBnWCKItYVpoyk_Rl1yKNWsfl1JjA-5lxaHaspL5RSVQyEBf9VVg_fw-UxAXDpC4k01k$ > and other special initiatives<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.russellsage.org/special-initiatives__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!nDkxQADoKTVmS8KrBnWCKItYVpoyk_Rl1yKNWsfl1JjA-5lxaHaspL5RSVQyEBf9VVg_fw-UxAXDLLcbn9w$ >. Limited consideration will be given to projects that test well-established behavioral effects without examining the overarching context or the underlying mechanisms. RSF is open to a range of questions consistent with its mission, and has a particular interest in the following research areas:

  *   Biases and Misperceptions
  *   Motivations and Incentives
  *   Habits and Behavior Change

Elsa U. Pardee Foundation: Cancer Research Grants<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pardeefoundation.org/how-to-apply/__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!nDkxQADoKTVmS8KrBnWCKItYVpoyk_Rl1yKNWsfl1JjA-5lxaHaspL5RSVQyEBf9VVg_fw-UxAXDRg4bNr8$ >
The Elsa U. Pardee Foundation funds research to investigators in United States non-profit institutions proposing research directed toward identifying new treatments or cures for cancer. The Foundation particularly encourages grant applications for a one year period which will allow establishment of capabilities of new cancer researchers, or new cancer approaches by established cancer researchers. It is anticipated that this early stage funding by the Foundation may lead to subsequent and expanded support using government agency funding. Project relevance to cancer detection, treatment, or cure should be clearly identified. By design, there are no limits set on the grant amount that can be requested. It must be reasonably and clearly supported by the scope of the project outlined in the application.
Due August 31 and December 31, 2019. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for August deadline: August 16, 2019.

Infectious Diseases Society of America Foundation: Alzheimer's Research Grant<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.idsafoundation.org/alz-research-grant/__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!nDkxQADoKTVmS8KrBnWCKItYVpoyk_Rl1yKNWsfl1JjA-5lxaHaspL5RSVQyEBf9VVg_fw-UxAXDsdD7UPk$ >
Alzheimer's disease is devastating for the 47 million people worldwide living with the disease, robbing them of memories and the ability to function independently. Researchers have long sought the cause and worked to develop a cure, without significant success.
Some evidence suggests that Alzheimer's may be triggered or driven by an infectious agent or microbial mechanism. Could this be the missing link to lead to a cure for Alzheimer's disease?
Determined to advance science regarding this possible connection, the IDSA Foundation is offering up to five one-time, $100,000 grants to researchers working to identify a microbial link to Alzheimer's disease.
The IDSA Foundation research grants are designed to:

  *   Obtain evidence that an infectious agent or microbial community is correlated to Alzheimer's disease
  *   Promote novel research in the field of microbial triggers for Alzheimer's disease
To be eligible for a grant, research must be narrowly focused on identifying the possible role of an infectious agent or agents in causing Alzheimer's disease. Awards will support innovative research, including basic, clinical and/or non-traditional approaches.
Due November 30, 2019. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: November 13, 2019.
