Michael J. Fox Foundation: Investigating Environmental Factors that Increase the Risk for Parkinson’s Disease<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.michaeljfox.org/grant/investigating-environmental-factors-increase-risk-parkinsons-disease__;!!PhOWcWs!hg2yUZ4IohnrzY07OLTrmrJeugr5LkQkIT6PFQ8WuRsMMYY3IzEJD-iDuPOMyYC5ea2XNSRaGCVFirfSL2I$ >
While some evidence links environmental factors with increased risk of PD, according to the foundation much remains unknown regarding the specific environmental risks, their role in disease, and the quantification of their contributions. A better understanding of environmental risk factors for PD could lead to efforts to reduce or prevent such exposures. To that end, grants of up to $400,000 over up to two years will be awarded in support of investigations into environmental factors. Applications should focus on studies that achieve the following goals:

  *   Analyze large epidemiological datasets to identify environmental risk factors, such as exposure to chemicals, toxic emissions, air pollutants, and dietary contaminants, which are associated with an increased risk of PD.
  *   MJFF is especially interested in funding projects that utilize large longitudinal datasets and will prioritize collaborative efforts that bring together teams of investigators with access to multiple diverse datasets.
This program is not appropriate for studies that require additional or prospective data collection.
Pre-proposal due May 14, 2020. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: May 4.

Investigator Initiated Clinical Trials of Complementary and Integrative Interventions Delivered Remotely or via mHealth (R01 Clinical Trial Required)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-20-154.html__;!!PhOWcWs!hg2yUZ4IohnrzY07OLTrmrJeugr5LkQkIT6PFQ8WuRsMMYY3IzEJD-iDuPOMyYC5ea2XNSRaGCVFqiUQsEc$ >
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for investigator-initiated fully remotely delivered and conducted clinical trials to assess the efficacy or effectiveness of complementary and integrative health interventions in NCCIH designated areas of high research priority. Applications submitted under this FOA are expected to propose a remotely delivered and conducted clinical trial with no in-person contact between research staff and study participants and may utilize mHealth tools or technologies. To justify the proposed remotely delivered efficacy or effectiveness clinical trial, applications must have sufficient preliminary data that includes: demonstration of feasibility of remote recruitment and accrual of participants; demonstration of participant adherence to the intervention as well as retention of participants throughout the study; completion of final data collection from any related studies; demonstration of the safety of the intervention; and evidence that the intervention has promise of clinical benefit.
Standard dates apply. Expires May 8, 2023. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for June 5, 2020 standard date: May 26.

Academic-Industrial Partnerships (AIP) to Translate and Validate In Vivo Imaging Systems (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-20-155.html__;!!PhOWcWs!hg2yUZ4IohnrzY07OLTrmrJeugr5LkQkIT6PFQ8WuRsMMYY3IzEJD-iDuPOMyYC5ea2XNSRaGCVF1plwsuo$ >
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate translation of scientific discoveries and engineering developments in imaging, data science and/or spectroscopic technologies into methods or tools that address contemporary problems in understanding the fundamental biology, potential risk of development, diagnosis, treatment, and/or disease status for cancer or other disease. A distinguishing feature of each application to this FOA will be formation of an academic-industrial partnership: a strategic alliance of academic and industrial investigators who work together as partners to identify and translate a technological solution for mitigation of a cancer (or other disease-related) problem. In this sense, the FOA acts more as funding mechanism for driving translational research in imaging more than for a specific scientific or clinical research area. These partnerships are expected to solidify pre-existing collaborations or new ones that would drive the field of imaging, as a whole, further than if they had not been formed. This FOA defines innovation as likelihood to deliver a new capability to end users. This FOA will support clinical trials that test functionality, or validate performance in the chosen setting. This FOA is not intended to support commercial production, basic research projects, or clinical trials that lack translation as the primary motivation.
Standard dates apply. Expires September 8, 2022. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for June 5, 2020 standard date: May 26.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement encourages the submission of pilot and feasibility clinical trials conducted in humans that will lay the foundation for larger clinical trials related to the prevention and/or treatment of diseases and conditions within the mission of NIDDK. The program will support small, short-term clinical trials in humans to acquire preliminary data regarding the effects of the intervention, as well as feasibility data related to recruitment and retention, and study conduct. Applications for clinical trials submitted under this FOA should have clearly described aims and objectives, and have a high likelihood that the trial findings will lead to more definitive, hypothesis-driven trialsto improve understanding, diagnosis, prevention or treatment of the diseases studied and have the potential to impact clinical practice and/or public health. Preliminary data regarding intervention efficacy are not required.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research educational activities that complement other formal training programs in the mission areas of the NIH Institutes and Centers. The over-arching goals of the NIH R25 program are to: (1) complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs; (2) encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research; (3) help recruit individuals with specific specialty or disciplinary backgrounds to research careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences; and (4) foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications. The SEPA program supports P-12 and informal science education (ISE) activities that: (1) enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce and (2) foster a better understanding of NIH-funded biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its public health implications. The SEPA program targets two primary audiences: (1) SEPA formal or classroom-based projects, provide STEM content, pedagogical expertise, and problem solving skills to teachers, students, and families in communities not generally supported by advanced and innovative educational practices: (2) SEPA ISE activities, conducted in outside-the-classroom venues as well as in science centers and museums, target both workforce diversity and improved public health literacy. Applications that target pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) or ISE topics that are not being addressed by existing school, community, or ISE-based activities are encouraged. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:

  *   Courses for Skills Development
  *   Research Experiences
  *   Mentoring Activities
  *   Curriculum or Methods Development
  *   Outreach
