Compound Identification Development Cores (U2C)
Funding Opportunity RFA-RM-17-013 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to establish Compound Identification Development Cores (CIDC) to develop innovative approaches to enhance compound identification of the most significant, biomedically-relevant unknown metabolites. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to expand the repertoire of biologically relevant compounds that can be quickly and inexpensively identified in high throughput metabolomics experiments. An interdisciplinary approach and partnership among metabolomics experts, biomedical researchers, ...

Administrative supplements for validation studies of analytical methods for dietary supplements and natural products (Admin. Suppl.)
The reproducibility and comparability of dietary supplement research is enhanced through rigorous analytical characterization of key experimental materials. The publication of analytical methods which have been thoroughly validated for specific, precise, accurate, and sensitive quantitative determination of chemical constituents of dietary supplements therefore makes critical contributions to the rigor and reproducibility of biomedical research. This FOA will build on existing NIH awards to support the performance and publication of formal single-laboratory validation studies of relevant quantitative analytical methods. Th...

Discovery of Small Molecule Immunomodulators for Cancer Therapy (R01)
Funding Opportunity PAR-17-331 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to promote the discovery of novel small molecules that may enhance the ability of the immune system to selectively recognize and attack cancer cells. These small molecules could be further developed into stand-alone immunotherapeutics or synergistic partners for existing therapies, or as chemical probes for the discovery and validation of novel targets involved in anti-tumor immunity. Investigators from multiple scientific disciplines (immuno-oncology, tumor biology, screening technol...

BRAIN Initiative: New Concepts and Early - Stage Research for Large - Scale Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System (R21)
Funding Opportunity RFA-EY-17-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. A central goal of the BRAIN Initiative is to understand how electrical and chemical signals code information in neural circuits and give rise to sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions. While currently available technologies can provide some understanding, they may not be sufficient to accomplish this goal. For example, non-invasive technologies are low resolution and/or provide indirect measures such as blood flow, which are imprecise; invasive technologies can provide information at the level of single neurons producing the fundamental b...
