Tourette Association of America: Support for Research Consortia and Collaborative Research ProjectsApplication deadline: Rolling This award supports research consortia working on large issues relevant to TS, including the TAA genetics consortium, neuroimaging consortium, behavioral sciences consortium, and deep brain stimulation registry, which have a direct impact on the patient and research community.
AHA: Research Funding Program 2018-2019Multiple deadlinesAHA awards are open to an array of academic and health professionals. Clinical, translational, population, behavioral, and basic scientists are encouraged to apply. AHA maintains dedicated Peer Review Committees by program type and science type.
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America: Broad Medical Research ProgramApplication deadline: RollingThe BMRP is funding innovative research into the possible reasons for low and high incidence of IBD in different areas of the globe. Proposals should be exploratory in nature or designed as pilot. The research should shed light on factors that may influence low versus high global areas of prevalence of the disease. The research should ultimately be helpful in improved understanding of the etiology of IBD and the factors that enhance or prevent the genesis of the disease.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Pioneering Ideas and a Culture of HealthLetter of Inquiry: Rolling DeadlineThe goal of this award is to look into the future and put health first as we design for changes in how we live, learn, work and play; to wade into uncharted territory in order to better understand what new trends, opportunities and breakthrough ideas can enable everyone in America to live the healthiest life possible. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on four broad areas: Health Leadership; Health Systems; Healthy Communities; and Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Evidence for Action: Investigator-Initiated Research to Build a Culture of HealthLetter of Inquiry: Rolling DeadlineThis program funds research that expands the evidence base needed to build a Culture of Health. RWJF is looking for research that examines the health impacts of programmatic or policy interventions that address factors outside the domain of health care services or public health practice.
Simons Foundation: SFARI Explorer AwardsApplication Deadline: RollingThis award program is designed to enhance our existing support of autism research by providing timely resources to enable focused experiments highly relevant to our mission. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorders or potential therapeutic approaches will require investigation at multiple levels, including but not limited to studies focused on gene discovery, molecular mechanisms, circuits, anatomy, and cognition and behavior. We will consider proposals at all of these levels.
Genome-Wide Investigation of Late-Effects Using the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) CohortApplication Deadline RollingThe CCSS leadership is now broadening the scope of this initiative to study the role of genetic susceptibility in the development of non-malignant treatment-related outcomes (in addition to subsequent malignancies) in cancer survivors. Accordingly, CCSS is announcing a request for proposals to collaborate with CCSS and NCI investigators in the use of existing genome-wide
association study (GWAS) data and corresponding outcomes-related data to address innovative research questions relating to potential genetic contributions to risk for treatment-related outcomes. Requests will be accepted on an ongoing basis. Requests will be reviewed three times per year, in February, June and October (cut-offs for receipt of applications will be February 1, June 1, and October 1).
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation: Economic Institutions, Behavior and Performance GrantsDeadline: ContinuousThe Foundation’s program on Economic Institutions, Behavior, and Performance supports rigorous and objective research projects on U.S. economic structure, behavior, and performance whose findings inform and strengthen decision-making by regulators, policymakers, and the public.
American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) Research ProgramDeadline: ContinuousThe American Association for Respiratory Care Research Program was established in 1996 to sponsor research to determine relationships between clinical interventions by respiratory therapists and the outcomes of care. The primary purpose of the AARC Research Program is to sponsor research initiatives which can document the clinical and economic impact of respiratory therapists in the delivery of health care. Clinical trials and effectiveness research to determine how clinical interventions by respiratory therapists affect overall health of patients, including physiologic indicators and quality of life, will be considered for funding.
Wellcome Trust: Innovator Awards Deadline: ContinuousThese awards support researchers who are transforming great ideas into healthcare innovations that could have a significant impact on human health. Our current focus areas are mental health, neurological disorders and neglected tropical diseases.
