Collaborating for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology
Up to $275,000 over 2y supporting studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, sustainability, scale-up, and spread of evidence-based interventions. [Upcoming due dates: 6/16/26, 10/16/26.]
Up to $250K/y for 4 y max. Goal is to advance development of novel informatics and data science approaches that help individuals understand and improve their health through actionable insights with innovative personal health data collection, integration, analysis, and personalized risk assessments and interpretation. [Upcoming due dates: 6/5/26, 10/5/26.]
For predoctoral students to obtain individualized, mentored research training from appropriate faculty sponsors while conducting biomedical research in scientific health-related fields. The proposed mentored research training must address the candidate’s identified research training and career goals and enhance the candidate's potential to successfully transition to the next phase of their biomedical research career. [Posted 6/13/25. Expires 5/8/28.]
For efforts to disseminate resources for integration into neuroscience research practice. The resource(s) should be relevant to the goals of the BRAIN Initiative, shared broadly to the neuroscience community and address compelling needs of neuroscience researchers that are otherwise unavailable or impractical in their current form. May be relevant to research pertaining to the spinal cord and brain-bladder connections. [Posted 2/9/2026. Expires 10/7/2028.]
For projects driving groundbreaking innovation and advanced development in bioinformatics, translational bioinformatics, and computational biology. Supports creation and implementation of cutting-edge methods, tools, and approaches that can transform the landscape of biomedical data science given the growing need to leverage transformative technologies — such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and large-scale computational platforms — to extract actionable knowledge from vast, diverse, and complex biological datasets. [Posted 2/11/2026. Expires 3/6/2029.]
Supports research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of clinical informatics tools and methods that enable data-driven discovery, promote evidence-based decision-making, and support personalized and precision health care. Ideal projects transform raw and heterogeneous health data into actionable knowledge, to develop innovative tools, and to implement practical applications with broad clinical applications. [Posted 2/11/2026. Expires 3/6/2029.]
Projects (1) developing, characterizing, or improving research models of human health and diseases, (2) developing biology based new approach methodologies (NAMs) applicable to human health and diseases, or (3) improving access to information about or generated from the use of models of human disease. Must: (1) broadly apply to >1 NIH Institutes or Centers' scientific interests, (2) evaluate diseases and processes that impact multiple organ systems, (3) describe the need for and potential impact of the proposed resources. [Posted 12/5/2025. Expires 9/29/2028.]
Supports continuation of existing or development of new special colonies of laboratory animals and associated services and other resources such as informatics tools, reagents, cultures, and genetic stocks serving the biomedical research community. Proposed projects should: (1) provide research resources facilitating optimization and enhancement of scientific rigor, transparency, and experimental reproducibility, (2) broadly apply to multiple NIH Institutes or Centers. [Posted 12/4/2025. Expires 1/10/2029.]
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.]
Supports the early and conceptual stages of exploratory and developmental research projects that may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. [Posted 12/18/2024. Expires 01/08/2028.]
