Analysis, clinical approaches to shortening

the rare diseases diagnostic odyssey (NCATS)

Scope: The National Center for Advancing Translational

Sciences seeks (UG3/UH3) exploratory/developmental

phased award cooperative agreement applications

for the Multi-disciplinary Machine-assisted, Genomic

Analysis and Clinical Approaches to Shortening the

Rare Diseases Diagnostic Odyssey announcement for

multidisciplinary diagnostic strategies for rare diseases

that combine machine assistance, genomic analysis and

clinical consultation.

Deadline: Letters of Intent are due 30 days prior to the

application due date; proposals, Nov. 12, 2020.

Funds: $1 million total per year FY2021–2026 for up to

four awards. The maximum project period is five years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-profit

organizations, including small businesses; nonprofit

organizations; and state, local, special district and Native

American tribal governments; among others.

Areas: NCATS said examples of approaches that

could be incorporated into a diagnostic strategy include

but are not limited to: clinical strategies—creation of

a multidisciplinary expert diagnostic team or creation

of a framework through which primary care providers

can rapidly escalate hard-to-diagnose patients;

machine assistance—development of disease-agnostic

algorithms to identify hard-to-diagnose patients

through the electronic medical records or other health

care system databases, use of facial recognition or

augmented reality software in the diagnostic process

or development of a strategy to seamlessly integrate

machine assistance into the diagnostic process, such

as through machine alerts to clinicians; and genomic

analysis—creation of a framework through which rapid

genomic analysis will be obtained and interpreted and

identification of clusters of related disorders that could

be escalated to laboratory/genetic panel testing.

New Models of Integrated HIV/AIDS, Addiction,

and Primary Care Services (NIDA)

Scope: The National Institute on Drug Abuse seeks

(R34) Planning Grant applications for the New Models

of Integrated HIV/AIDS, Addiction, and Primary Care

Services announcement to support the development

and testing of enhanced models of care that are able

to optimally integrate HIV, addiction and primar y care

services.

Deadline: Nov. 18, 2020; Aug. 11, 2021; and Nov. 18, 2021.

Funds: A total of $1.5 million in new awards in FY21

maximum project period is three years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-profit

organizations, including small businesses; nonprofit

organizations; and state, local, special district and Native

American tribal governments; among others.

Areas: NIDA said research objectives and specific

areas of interest include but are not limited to studies

that: develop or test implementation of new models

of integrated evidence-based drug abuse prevention

or treatment interventions in HIV care settings, test

implementation science approaches to translate

strategies with demonstrated efficacy or effectiveness

in other settings or locations (e.g., low-resource

international settings), test integrated HIV/AIDS and

substance use disorder care approaches that capitalize

on electronic health record systems and other efforts

to increase integration within and between health

systems, and develop or test methods for improving the

coordination and communication between behavioral

health and HIV care providers within and across

settings.
