Scalable and Systematic Neurobiology of Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorder Risk Genes: Assay and Data Generation Centers (RM1 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-25-145 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity announcement (NOFO) supports systematic and scalable approaches to profile the biological function of genes with an excess of damaging mutations in patients with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Current understanding of the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is limited and one of the main bottlenecks in translating disease-associated genes to biology lies in the lack of scalable experimental platforms that can extend the unbiased nature of gene discovery to the discovery of bi...

Biotypes of CNS Complications in People Living with HIV (P01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-24-235 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. HIV associated CNS complications are a significant problem for people living with HIV despite suppressive anti-retroviral therapy. HIV enters the CNS as early as 8 days after infection and can cause several complications including cognitive, neurological and mental health related issues. Although experts have gathered much data on underlying HIV-induced CNS pathophysiology, specific targeted causality remains elusive, and no effective therapies exist to slow, stop, or reverse these adverse outcomes. This initiative is to comprehend the action...

Addressing Rigor in Scientific Studies
Guest blog by Devon C. Crawford, Ph.D., Program Director, Office of Research Quality, NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Originally published on the NIH Science, Health, and Public Trust blog. Devon C. Crawford, Ph.D., Program Director, Office of Research Quality Science communication is rapidly evolving. The growing use of preprints and the sheer number of published studies make it increasingly difficult to determine which findings are worthy of attention. Not all scientific studies are created equal. Communicators need to discern which are reputable in order to know what to co...
