Collaborating for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology
Up to $100,000 to accelerate the use of AI in surgery, plus mentorship from experts across J&J, and computing tools and technologies to help advance innovations. Submissions should have a path to commercialization. [Rolling deadline.]
Funds a limited number of medical fellowship positions at qualified academic or training institutions, typically accredited training programs for post-graduate advanced specialties supported by national medical societies, generally leading to board certification in a medical specialty. Only supports salary and benefits for fellowship programs. [Annual deadline for urology/pelvic health fellowships: 10/16.]
Allows investigators to: (1) tackle ambitious scientific projects more creatively with more stable funding, (2) be more flexible in following important new research directions, (3) reduce their administrative burden related to grants and dedicate time to research and mentorship. Open to eligible NIGMS-funded investigators and New Investigators proposing research aligned with NIGMS' scientific mission. Allows renewal applications from all current MIRA grantees. [Posted 12/11/2025. Expires 05/27/2028.]
Up to $2,000 to cover travel expenses and meeting-related fees to encourage investigators in the field of aging research to present findings at an annual scientific or medical specialty association meeting where aging-related research is not the primary focus. [Applications accepted on a rolling basis.]
Up to $10,000 supporting efficient acquisition of data for grant applications or publications relevant to the biology of aging and mechanisms linking aging to aging-associated diseases. Open to all investigators, esp those outside the University of Rochester. All projects should utilize Upstate NY NSC Research Core services. Collaboration with other Nathan Shock Centers strongly encouraged. [Applications accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed monthly.]
NIH has implemented a simplified framework for the peer review of the majority of competing research project grant applications, beginning with submissions with due dates of January 25, 2025. Under the simplified review framework, the five regulatory criteria (Significance, Investigators, Innovation, Approach, Environment) are reorganized into 3 factors: (1) Importance of the Research (Significance, Innovation), (2) Rigor and Feasibility (Approach), and (3) Expertise and Resources.
The NIH issued a new policy (NOT-OD-25-132) that will impact proposal submissions beginning September 25, 2025. Key points: (1) Application Cap: Each PI (or MPI team) will be limited to six applications per calendar year across all NIH deadlines, (2) AI Use: NIH emphasizes that applications must reflect original scientific thought. Use of generative AI tools is permitted for drafting support, but final content must be authored by the PI/team.
Funds an independent research program or project, which does not include specific analysis and/or a protocol to address a research question. Requests must be unsolicited and must be made at least 60 days before the program start date. Astellas cannot be the sole external financial supporter of a GRG.
Supports early-career investigators engaged in basic or clinical research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Priority is given to candidates who may not have received substantial funding from other private awards yet have highly promising scientific careers. [Annual deadline: 2/1.]
Funds basic research in vertebrate and invertebrate neurobiology in the United States, specifically concerning neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. 3y funding, 2y renewals available [Annual LOI deadlines: 1/15, 4/15, 10/1.]
