LUNGevity: Lung Cancer Research Awards<https://lungevity.org/our-research/translational-science-research-grant-programs/applying-for-2021-lungevity-research>
Career Development Award
LUNGevity’s Career Development Award Program was created to support future research leaders who will keep the field of lung cancer research vibrant with new ideas. Research that will be funded in 2021 is expected to have a direct impact on the early detection of lung cancer and/or individualized lung cancer treatment, including through targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Early Detection Award
LUNGevity’s Early Detection Award Program supports the development of strategies for the early detection and/or diagnosis of lung cancer. Research that will be funded in 2021 is expected to have a direct impact on the early detection and/or diagnosis of lung cancer or to provide a clear conceptual or experimental foundation for the future development of methods for early detection and/or diagnosis of lung cancer.
Letter of intent due February 24, 2021. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: February 8.

Sontag Foundation: Distinguished (Early Career) Scientist Award in Brain Cancer Research<http://www.sontagfoundation.org/all-grants/brain-cancer/dsa-application-info-requirements/>
The Distinguished Scientist Award seeks to provide career and research support to early career scientists who demonstrate outstanding promise for making scientific and medical breakthroughs in the field of brain cancer research. Recipients of the award are inspired individuals with projects that show potential to generate new knowledge relating to causes, cure or treatment of primary brain tumors/brain cancer. Applicants are carefully considered and selected by The Sontag Foundation and its independent Scientific Advisory Board based on the scientific merit of the proposed project, career trajectory, peer and mentor references and an onsite research facility visit. In determining the overall scientific merit of an application, the Scientific Advisory Board scores applications based on the NIH review criteria of: significance, investigator, innovation, approach, and environment. The award provides $600,000 in funding over a four-year period. Over that time, recipients also receive additional support from the Foundation through its vast network of scientists in the field primarily through the Foundation’s annual Scientific Retreat.
Due March 17, 2021. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: March 4.

The Doctors Company Foundation: Patient Safety (Education or Research) Grants<https://www.tdcfoundation.com/grant-application-process/>
The purpose of the Doctors Company Foundation is to support patient-safety education for healthcare. Through the program, grants will be awarded to projects/activities aimed at developing knowledge, techniques, and tools whose application reduces or eliminates risk of adverse events that cause harm to patients while under care.
Letter of intent due March 22, 2021. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: March 9.

Infectious Etiology of Alzheimer’s Disease (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-21-034.html>
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support applications aimed at: (1) determining whether microbial pathogens represent a causal component of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), (2) establishing mechanisms by which microbial pathogens impact neurodegenerative processes in AD, and (3) informing aspects of future translational studies in AD, including the discovery of candidate therapeutics aimed at regulating pathogen-associated networks and molecules in AD.
Due March 31, 2021. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: March 18.

BRAIN Initiative: New Concepts and Early-Stage Research for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System (R21) (Clinical Trial Not Allowed) <https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-EY-21-001.html>
This FOA seeks applications for unique and innovative recording and/or modulation technologies that are in the earliest stage of development, including new and untested ideas that are in the initial stages of conceptualization. Some projects may aim to increase recording or modulation capabilities by many orders of magnitude, while others may aim to improve the precision and selectivity of recording or modulation (also referred to as stimulation, perturbation, or manipulation). A wide range of modalities are appropriate including acoustic, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical and chemical, as well as the use of genetic tools. Invasive or non-invasive approaches are sought that will enable large-scale recording and/or precise manipulation of neural activity, and that would ultimately be compatible with experiments in humans or behaving animals.
Due May 3, 2021; October 29, 2021; May 2, 2022; October 28, 2022; May 1, 2023; and October 27, 2023. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for May 2021 due date: April 20.

Institutional Training Programs to Advance Translational Research on Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (T32)<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-21-112.html>
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to enable the development of a diverse, translational research workforce capable of participating and/or leading cross-disciplinary team science programs focused on advancing therapy development for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). This FOA will support institutional training programs for predoctoral and postdoctoral level researchers with diverse educational backgrounds (i.e., basic biology, translational and clinical research, data science and behavioral research). The program invites eligible institutions to develop interdisciplinary training programs that will provide trainees with the knowledge and skills in data science, disease biology, and traditional and emerging drug discovery disciplines necessary to conduct rigorous and cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research for AD and AD-related dementias.
Due May 25, 2021; September 27, 2021; May 25, 2022; September 26, 2022; May 25, 2023; and September 25, 2023. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for May 2021 due date:

NHLBI Early Phase Clinical Trials for Therapeutics and/or Diagnostics (R33 / R61 / R33 Clinical Trial Required)
R33<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-21-118.html>
The objective of this funding opportunity is to support investigator-initiated, phase I clinical trials for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders in adults and children. The proposed trial can be single or multisite. Applicants applying for funding under this FOA should be ready to initiate the clinical trial within the first quarter of the project period.  Discussion, submission, and attainment of applicable regulatory (FDA, DSMB, IRB) approvals, and establishment of drug (and placebo, if applicable) supplies, and any necessary third-party agreements should be established by the time of award.
R61 / R33<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-21-119.html>
The objective of this funding opportunity is to support investigator-initiated, Phase I clinical trials for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders in adults and children. In addition to supporting clinical trial start-up and implementation activities, this FOA will provide support for final stage preclinical activities needed for the implementation of the proposed trial. All the activities proposed in the R61 phase must be directly related to the therapeutic/diagnostic in preparation for the clinical trial. The proposed trial can be single or multisite. This FOA will utilize a bi-phasic, milestone-driven mechanism of award where the first phase can be used to finalize required pre-trial activities such as stability, shipping studies, and site training.
Due June 4, 2021; October 2, 2021; June 4, 2022; October 2, 2022; June 4, 2023; October 2, 2023. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents for June 2021 due date:
