The goal of the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program is to provide structured activities to prepare a diverse cohort of research-oriented students to transfer from associate degree-granting institutions to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions and complete a baccalaureate degree in disciplines related to the biomedical sciences. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) specifically for clinician scientists supporting NCI-funded clinical trials research. These clinician scientists are vital to sustaining the NCI-funded clinical trials enterprise. The Research Specialist Award is intended to provide salary support and sufficient autonomy so that individuals are not solely dependent on NCI grants held by others or other sources of support for cancer research career continuity

UArizona may submit one application for only one component (A or B). 

The purpose of this NOFO is to enhance PQCs’ capacity to make measurable improvements in perinatal healthcare and health outcomes statewide.  Component A will support increasing capacity of PQCs to rapidly conduct population-level perinatal QI initiatives, with a focus on ensuring an equitable distribution of benefits from QI initiatives.  Component B will support the provision of technical assistance, trainings, and capacity building for all PQCs in the US to improve uptake of perinatal QI initiatives nationwide.

Limited Submission language from the solicitation: CDC will consider any applications non-responsive, and it will not receive further review if the following criteria is not met: Applicants may only apply for one component (A or B). Applying to more than one component will deem the application non-responsive.

This emergency cooperative agreement FOA provides an expedited funding mechanism as part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx®) initiative to accelerate innovation in the development, commercialization, and implementation of technologies for COVID-19 testing. This FOA seeks to fund a single RADx Tribal Data Repository (RADx TDR). The RADx TDR is intended to be an independent research data repository governed under the principles and practices of tribal sovereignty. The RADx TDR will provide responsible data sharing and access to researchers and their collaborators who are generating or interested in working with RADx American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) research data.

The purpose of the TPEC program is to establish resource hubs that support the placement of early childhood development (ECD) experts into pediatric practices that serve a high percentage of prenatal-to-five-year-old (P–5) populations who are eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or are uninsured.

UArizona may submit four Concept Papers in medical sciences and four Concept papers in physical sciences and engineering.

The W.M. Keck Foundation Research Program uses a three-step process for this opportunity. The first step is a Concept paper. The Undergraduate Education program is currently not accepting concept papers. The next steps are by the foundation’s invitation. UArizona review criteria reflect previous interactions with the W.M. Keck Foundation. Proposals should focus on basic, fundamental science with broad applications.

The proposed work should show a significant leap forward rather than an extension of existing work. 

To be considered by Keck, applicants must have a statement from a federal program officer expressing that the project is not a good fit due to risk (rather than technical or theoretical fit) or a decline from a federal program where the summary statement or individual reviews highlight the incredible novelty, but the high-risk nature that makes it difficult to fund at the federal level.
