Breast Cancer Alliance invites clinical doctors and research scientists at any stage of their careers, including postdocs, whose current proposal is focused on breast cancer, to apply for an Exceptional Project Grant. This award recognizes creative, unique and innovative research and is open to applicants at institutions throughout the contiguous United States. This is a one year grant for a total of $100,000

Limited Submission language from the solicitation: Researchers should coordinate with their institutions, as BCA will accept a maximum of 2 LOIs per institution.

This opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated to prevent overlapping topic area submissions.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Health Workforce Research Center (HWRC) Cooperative Agreement Program. The purpose of this program is to support and disseminate rigorous research that strengthens evidence-based policy and enhances understanding of issues and trends in the health workforce.

Limited submission language in the solicitation:

NOTE: Multiple applications from an organization with the same DUNS number or Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) are allowable if the applications propose separate and distinct projects and the applicants meet the two following conditions:

1. Each campus of the applicant organization is allowed to submit one application per HWRC topic area (from Section I.1 of this notice). A campus is defined as a division of a university that has the same name yet is separate with its own grounds, buildings (e.g., school of nursing) and faculty; a single department or agency of a state or local government. For example, the University of ABC – Springfield and the University of ABC – Goldboro can each submit an application for the same HWRC topic area under this program.
2. You can submit only one application per campus for each of the eight (8) HWRC topic areas identified in Section I.1. For example, the University of ABC – Springfield can submit one application for the Health Equity in the Health Workforce topic area AND one application for the Behavioral Health Workforce topic area. Alternatively, the University of ABC – Springfield can submit one application for the Health Equity in the Health Workforce topic area, and the University of ABC – Goldboro can submit one application for the Behavioral Health Workforce topic area.

UA is invited to nominate one candidate. Note: candidates may not be nominated for the Pew Biomedical Scholars Program and the Pew-Stewart Scholars Program for Cancer Research in the same year. The Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences provides funding to young investigators of outstanding promise in science relevant to the advancement of human health. Eligibility:

• As of Sept. 8, 2022, hold a full-time appointment at the rank of assistant professor. (Appointments such as research assistant professor, adjunct assistant professor, assistant professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible).
• Must not have been appointed as an assistant professor at any institution prior to June 13, 2018, whether or not such an appointment was on a tenure track.

Internal peer review to select the UArizona nomination for the Pew Biomedical Scholar and the Pew-Stewart Scholar for Cancer Research will be managed by RDS in partnership with the UA Foundation, UAHS, and the UACC.

UACC may submit one application. Selection of the applicant is managed by the UACC.

The purpose of the Reach Grant is to advance ALSF’s mission to find cures and better treatments for childhood cancers by providing support to move hypothesis-driven research into the clinic. Significant barriers exist that impede the translation of innovative and important ideas to the clinic. The Reach Grant seeks to remove one of these barriers by providing support for important preclinical projects that are necessary to move a study from the pre-clinical arena into a clinical trial. Thus, the goal of this award is to support translational studies that will result in a phase 1 and/or 2 clinical trial, two to three years from the project start date.

UA may nominate one UACC member. Selection of the UArizona candidate is managed by the UACC.

The V Clinical Scholar Award supports the careers of clinicians who will become leaders in developing programs of clinical trials that are sequential and based on hypothesis–driven research. V Clinical Scholars will be expected to lead a program of hypothesis-driven clinical trials, initiating, and completing multiple projects overseen by clinical and laboratory mentors who have a track record for conducting hypothesis-driven research with a strong translational component, often in collaboration with investigators from other disciplines.

The total amount of the grant is $200,000, paid in two annual installments of $100,000. Only direct costs of the research are supported by this award.

UArizona may submit one application.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Early Childhood Developmental Health Systems (ECDHS): Evidence to Impact program. The purpose of this program is to advance statewide systems of comprehensive early childhood developmental promotion, screenings, and interventions that improve outcomes and reduce disparities in early developmental health and family well-being for communities with high levels of childhood poverty. These systems will be referred to as early childhood development (ECD) systems throughout this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO).

One award will be made, in the form of a cooperative agreement, to establish an Early Childhood Evidence to Impact Center, hereby referred to as the Center. The goals of the Center are to: 1) increase the implementation and evaluation of evidence-informed, equity-focused strategies among states by providing national technical assistance (TA) and supporting the implementation and evaluation of ECD systems-building efforts; and 2) strengthen the evidence base in support of ECD systems-building.

UArizona has an existing award for this program.

No applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is designed to support highly integrated research teams of three to six PDs/PIs to address ambitious and challenging research questions that are important for the mission of NIGMS and are beyond the scope of one or two investigators. Collaborative program teams are expected to accomplish goals that require considerable synergy and managed team interactions. Project goals should not be achievable with a collection of individual efforts or projects. Teams are encouraged to consider far-reaching objectives that will produce major advances in their fields.

Applications that are mainly focused on the creation, expansion, and/or maintenance of community resources, creation of new technologies, or infrastructure development are not appropriate for this FOA.
