FOR CURRENT GRADUATE STUDENTS
Predictors of Vaccine Efficacy Research Grant (up to £5 million)
Millions of lives are saved each year as a result of vaccination. However, infectious diseases still disproportionately affect those living in parts of Africa and Asia, and we need new vaccines to tackle both endemic and emerging infectious diseases.
With this call, we aim to support coordination and collaboration between stakeholders across vaccine development to generate these robust datasets and expand the list of correlates of protection available for vaccine development. The funded research will generate data packages that can support decision-making in vaccine development, including those needed for licensure. Click here to apply

Notice of Upcoming NIH Early Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Open Innovation Challenge (up to $650,000)
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is developing a challenge prize competition to discover the best data, methods, and strategies for the early prediction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). This includes an emphasis on building diverse teams and solutions that generalize to groups that historically have been excluded from participation in AD/ADRD research, despite being disproportionately impacted by these conditions.
The goal of this challenge is to deliver solutions for accurate, representative, inclusive, open, and robust early prediction of AD/ADRD. To achieve this goal, the challenge will feature the following three phases that successively build on each other:
Phase I [Find IT!]: Data for Early Prediction-Solvers engage with the problem scope and propose datasets for use in early prediction of AD/ADRD. This period may include the contribution of an existing dataset (i.e. identifying and collating data from existing sources) and proposed data collection (i.e. designing new data sources).
Phase II [Build IT!]: Algorithms and Approaches - Solvers develop and submit algorithms, study designs, and/or analytic approaches for pushing forward the state of the art in early prediction, which can be demonstrated on data from the challenge.
Phases III [Put IT All Together!]: Proof of Principle Demonstration - Building on the prior phases, finalist solutions from Phase II will be invited to apply their approaches to diverse datasets and demonstrate their potential for early prediction of AD/ADRD. This phase will include an innovation event to pitch solutions, share results, exchange ideas, and award prizes. Click here to apply

Dementia Care and Caregiver Support Intervention Research Project Grant (R01 Clinical Trial Required) (up to $500,000)
The NIA AD/ADRD Research Implementation Milestones highlight the need for novel and innovative dissemination and implementation methods to scale up promising practices in dementia care across settings and across disease severity spectrum (Milestone 13.H). A recent evidence review conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) on Care Interventions for People Living With Dementia and Their Caregivers underscored the need for rigorous, well-powered, replicable research addressing issues of intervention fidelity, efficacy, and potential intervention mechanisms, prior to dissemination and implementation on a wide scale. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to address challenges highlighted in this evidence review by calling for activities that can lay the groundwork for principle-based Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) care and caregiving interventions that can be delivered with fidelity in the real world. The activities called for in this FOA are designed to facilitate the success of these trials by providing additional stepping stones toward ultimate implementation. Click here to apply
