Funding Opportunity News | 5/10

To view previously announced funding opportunities, visit the RDO website. Opportunities that will be of particular interest to our College's researchers are highlighted in yellow.

2019 Medical, Biomedical & Biodefense: Support the Warfighter Symposium
When: June 11 (Evening Welcome Social) and June 12 (Symposium Day)
Where: The Friday Conference Center, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
The needs and challenges faced by our warfighters are diverse and numerous, but it is incumbent upon us to provide them with the best medical, biomedical, and biodefense solutions that can be developed. North Carolina's vibrant life science community can play a critical role in being part of the solution. The Medical, Biomedical & Biodefense: Support to the Warfighter Symposium will provide the opportunity for government, military, academia, and industry to network and learn from each other on the best ways to work together. More details here

NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI)
The Research Development Office's internal deadline for internal Letters of Intent for the NSF Major Research Instrumentation program is 7/25/19Your college may set additional deadlines. You can fine full details on NC State's internal process here

Before submitting an internal pre-proposal to RDO, PIs must get approval from their Associate Dean for Research. Each college is limited to three internal pre-proposals in Track 1, and one proposal in Track 2. Shared Core Research Facilities are also invited to submit internal pre-proposals, and are limited to one proposal, independent of track.  

Please direct questions about your college's selection process to your College Research Office. Other questions about NC State's internal review can be directed to limited-submission@ncsu.edu.

Upcoming Internal Funding Deadlines 
METRIC Pilot Project Program - October 17, 2019

Non-limited Funding Opportunities
NIH: Dissemination and Implementation Research in HealthNIH’s program in Dissemination and Implementation Research is supported by 14 Institutes and 3 Offices within the Office of the Director. The purpose of the program is to support innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (“de-implement”) the use of interventions that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. There are three coordinated funding opportunity announcements:

Deadlines: NIH Standard dates apply, through 5/8/2022

NIH: Cognitive Systems Analysis of Alzheimer's Disease Genetic and Phenotypic Data The National Institute of Aging is looking for applications that propose Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and/or Deep Learning approaches to identify gene mutations/variants that cause or contribute to the risk of or protection against the development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This program is a cooperative agreement because NIA anticipates significant involvement in mediating access to already sequenced and phenotyped cohort data found in the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS). Projects are limited to 5 years, with no budget limits.Deadlines February 5th, June 5th, and October 5th (through 9/8/2022).
