This program supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of the program is to support educational activities that increase understanding of biomedical research among pre-college (pre-K to grade 12) individuals, and to encourage awareness of and continued interest in careers in STEM.
This program aims to support investigators who have the interest and capability to join efforts for the discovery of in vivo chemical probes for novel brain targets. It is expected that applicants will have, in hand, the starting compounds (validated hits) for chemical optimization and bioassays for testing new analog compounds.
This program invites investigator-initiated Program Project applications for scientific areas relevant to the NIAID mission, including biology and pathogenesis of infectious microbes, including HIV; host-microbe interactions; mechanisms regulating immune system development and function across the lifespan, and in response to infectious pathogens; immune dysfunction resulting in allergy, asthma, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, or transplant rejection; and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Each application submitted to this NOFO must include at least two related, synergistic Research Projects that share a common central theme, focus, and/or overall objective; and an Administrative Core.
This program aims to support research addressing barriers that limit progress toward more effective open- and closed-loop diabetes control systems. This may include research that addresses: 1) innovation of sensing relevant analytes/physiologic signals; 2) novel formulation and delivery of hormones; 3) AI/ML-driven tools/algorithms; and 4) digital twin modeling to augment decision support and automated control systems with the goal of improving glycemic control, reducing burden of care, and enhancing quality of life of people with T1D.
The goal of the TRACs is to develop the next generation of TB researchers and to catalyze multidisciplinary and innovative TB science by providing expertise and resources to facilitate basic and clinical TB research.
This program seeks exploratory research projects, from newly formed or established multi-disciplinary teams, to understand how dynamic activity of single cells and ensembles of neurons in spatially organized networks gives rise to the internal states we experience as sensations, perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and memories, and to observable motor and social behaviors. The research should be proposed as exploratory research and planning activities to establish feasibility and early-stage development.
This program encourages collaborations between the life and physical sciences that: 1) apply a multidisciplinary bioengineering approach to the solution of a biomedical problem; and 2) integrate, optimize, validate, translate or otherwise accelerate the adoption of promising tools, methods, and techniques for a specific research or clinical problem in basic, translational, or clinical science and practice.
This program aims to elucidate the key components of the therapeutic effects of rapid-acting psychotropic interventional drugs (RAPIDs) by addressing the methodological challenges involved with these clinical trials. In addition, this NOFO seeks to advance understanding of how RAPIDs and adjunctive psychosocial interventions can be optimally delivered, monitored, and sustained over time to enhance effectiveness and generalizability.
This program aims to support research in cancer epidemiology cohort studies that address specific knowledge gaps in cancer etiology and survivorship. Applications should include hypothesis-based research, support for cohort infrastructure and/or maintenance, continued follow-up, and sharing of data and biospecimen resources as appropriate.
This new initiative will establish highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary, research teams to conduct translational and clinical research to support the development of a Valley fever vaccine as outlined in NIAID's Strategic Plan for research to develop a Valley Fever vaccine.
The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program initiative has announced a suite of funding opportunities pertaining to arthritis, lupus, vision, Alzheimer's disease, ovarian cancer, and various other topics. For all of these programs, a variety of funding tracks are offered, including early-career, pilot grants, and clinical trials.

Deadlines are in July through November for most programs.
This NOFO supports basic or applied research and development of Innovations in forensic science for criminal justice purposes. These awards support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project that will increase the body of knowledge to guide and inform forensic science policy and practice; or lead to the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods that have the potential for forensic application. Notably, NIJ also announced four related RFPs (with a handful of grants each) for more targeted topics within the NIJ portfolio, such as policing practices and human trafficking, with similar deadlines to this program.
This program supports fundamental research to understand, model, and control the transport of mass, momentum, energy, and species across multiple scales. Innovative TP research supports advances in artificial intelligence; manufacturing; biotechnology; microelectronics; energy generation, extraction, and utilization; nuclear energy; quantum science and engineering; and other national priorities. TP projects involve experiments, theory, and/or computational modeling.
This program supports research in catalysis and electrochemical systems to produce, use, and store energy, to reduce waste, to process polymers, and to synthesize fuels and chemicals. This includes process and materials innovation to support the nuclear fuel cycle. The CPS program explores active-site structure and function, reaction mechanisms, in situ and operando characterization, durability, and device-level integration. Microreactors, membrane and catalytic reactors, atmospheric plasmas, and other novel configurations are of interest.
In EBBS, fundamental mechanistic insights are combined with experimental and computational techniques. This approach helps develop platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that bring new understanding and control of biological functions.
This program supports fundamental research to advance resource and energy conservation and recovery, and to safeguard the natural environment and human health. Better use of domestic resources will help make U.S. manufacturing and energy systems more resilient and secure. EER projects advance artificial intelligence; biotechnology; quantum science and engineering; nanoengineering; microelectronics; and other national priorities.
This program aims to advance the careers and knowledge of anesthesiologists interested in improving the concepts, methods and techniques of education in anesthesiology. Applicants may be of any faculty rank; the award is $100,000 over two years.
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is inviting pre-applications for the 2026 Materials Synthesis Investigators and Moore Synthesis Fellows competition as part of its Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems (EPiQS) Initiative. Through EPiQS, the foundation seeks to accelerate breakthroughs in quantum materials—solids and engineered structures that exhibit novel quantum phases of matter and emergent electronic phenomena. The competition features two award categories based on career stage.
