Federal Funding
NIH - Leveraging Extant Data to Understand Developmental Trajectories of Late Talking Children (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-24-045
Upcoming deadlines: Full application - February 07, 2024, July 19, 2024, November 19, 2024
Abstract: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Tackling Acquisition of Language in Kids (TALK) initiative seeks to support activities to better understand early language learning and delay. NIH TALK invites applications for research projects that aim to further understanding of the developmental trajectories of late talking children by leveraging existing data and creating open and shared data resources to aid in identifying patterns and predictors of developmental outcomes in late talking children, and exploring potential underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and sequelae.
NIH - Information and Practice Needs Relevant to Late Talking Children (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-24-046
Upcoming deadlines: Full application - - February 07, 2024, July 19, 2024, November 19, 2024
Abstract: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Tackling Acquisition of Language in Kids (TALK) initiative seeks to support activities to better understand early language learning and delay. NIH TALK invites applications for research projects that aim to better understand the information and practice needs of caregivers, professionals, and other invested parties who support late talking children and to determine whether those needs are being effectively met. Community engaged research combined with rigorous qualitative research and diverse research teams are needed to enrich our understanding of how to get state-of-the-science information and practice to those who need it most to guide decisions about late talking children.
NIH - NIDCD Low Risk Clinical Trials in Communication Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-24-051

NIH - Targeting Inflammasomes in HIV and Substance Use (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: RFA-DA-25-012
Upcoming deadlines: Full application - March 13, 2024, March 13, 2025
Abstract: The goal of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage research to explore mechanisms of inflammasome activation and their link to neurocognitive disorder (NCD) and immune function in people with HIV and substance use disorders (SUDs). This NOFO supports studies to (1) elucidate the role and the underlying mechanisms of inflammasomes in virus and drug-induced immune activation, (2) identify molecular markers associated with inflammasome pathways in NCD and 3) illuminate the cellular and tissue microenvironments that influence inflammasomes in HIV-1 infection or disease progression among individuals with SUD. Overall goal of this program is to facilitate translation of inflammasome research findings into therapeutic tools that improve clinical outcomes in people with HIV.
