View NIAMS Building Interdisciplinary Research Team (BIRT) Revision Awards (R01)    
    Purpose of this opportunity is to promote interdisciplinary research, the NIAMS plans to provide up to 1 year of research revision support (formerly referred to as “competitive supplements”) to active NIAMS R01s (parent grants) to establish collaborations among groups of investigators with expertise in the specific areas listed below. The interdisciplinary collaboration should be basic and/or translational research with high innovation and potentially high impact in the specific NIAMS mission–relevant areas solicited in this FOA. It is understood that such an application may entail high risk. Teams developed under this award are expected to make significant advances beyond the progress expected from the individual researchers alone. Collaborations between scientific areas listed below are selected to pilot the NIAMS BIRT awards and specifically solicited in this FOA.  In the following areas:  Autoimmunity – Gender and sex factors, Autoimmunity– Systems biology, Developmental biology – Systems biology, Regenerative Medicine – Immunology, Soft tissue biology – Imaging technologies, Tissue engineering –Developmental biology

View IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)    
   

National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites applications for competing continuation of Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) grants to independent biomedical research institutes and/or biomedical research institutions that award doctoral degrees in the health sciences or sciences related to health within IDeA-eligible states. INBRE applications must represent a collaborative effort to sponsor research with undergraduate institutions, community colleges and tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). The objectives of INBRE program are to: 1) continue to build on the established multi-disciplinary research network with a scientific focus to strengthen the lead and partner institutions' biomedical research expertise and infrastructure; 2) build and increase the research base and capacity by providing support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the participating institutions; 3) provide research opportunities for students from undergraduate institutions, community colleges and TCUs and serve as a "pipeline" for these students to continue in health research careers within IDeA states; 4) enhance science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce.

The SBIR program, as established by law, is intended to meet the following goals: 

  • stimulate technological innovation in the private sector;
  • strengthen the role of small business in meeting Federal research or research and development (R/R&D) needs;
  • increase the commercial application of Federally-supported research results;
  • foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned business concerns in the SBIR program; and
  • improve the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the Nation.

The SBIR program is structured in three phases, the first two of which are supported using SBIR funds. The objective of Phase I is to establish the technical/scientific merit and feasibility of the proposed R/R&D efforts. The objective of Phase II is to continue the research or R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. An objective of the SBIR program is to increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R/R&D. The objective of Phase III, where appropriate, is for the SBC to pursue with non-SBIR funds (either Federal or non-Federal) the commercialization objectives resulting from the results of the R/R&D funded in Phases I and II.  In some Federal agencies, Phase III may involve follow-on, non-SBIR funded R&D, or production contracts for products or processes intended for use by the U.S. Government.
