A Community Research Resource: Characterization of the Resident Ocular Microbiome. (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-EY-22-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The overall purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applicants from multidisciplinary research teams to develop a community-based resource of microbial data associated with the resident ocular microbiome of healthy individuals. Interests also exist in identifying factors microbial communities elaborate that impact human physiology. This announcement will support research projects designed to: delineate and characterize core ocular microbial constituents in the front of the eye; understand their immune and neuro int...

Feasibility Studies that Explore Healthy and Diseased Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ) using Single Cell Multi-Omic Analyses (UH2/UH3 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DE-22-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this initiative is to encourage research focused on deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) pain and tissue dysfunction using single-cell omics approaches. Delineation of cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate TMJD resolution and homeostasis are also desired. Identification of cell populations and their effector pathways, in TMJD target tissue (e.g. synovial fluid, muscle, skin), as 1) molecular disease classifiers allowing for patient stratification, 2) diagn...

Screening for Conditions by Electronic Nose Technology (SCENT) (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-TR-21-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA is seeking applications for a portable sensing device to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs, i.e. scents or odors) emanating from skin and to develop a catalog of VOCs as distinct signatures for at least 20 human diseases and conditions. These sensing devices must be able to associate VOC patterns using artificial intelligence to patients with various conditions for diagnostic purposes along with capabilities to incorporate and integrate vital signs. For VOC monitoring, these sensing devices can be Electronic-nose (E-nose) techn...

Institute and Center Award Rates and Funding Disparities
In 2011, Ginther et al. first demonstrated that African American and Black applicants to the National Institutes of Health received grant awards at a lower rate than their white counterparts (Ginther 2011). Since then, multiple studies have reproduced and extended this finding (Ginther 2011; Ginther 2016; Hoppe 2019; Erosheva 2020). Recently we reported that African American and Black (AAB) PIs are more likely to propose research on topics that are less likely  to be funded (Hoppe 2019). We found that topic choice has little or no effect on whether an application is chosen for discussion, but after consideri...
