Grants alert (cont.)

community college students to transfer to and complete

a bachelor’s degree in biomedical research fields.

Deadline: Sept. 25, 2019; Sept. 25, 2020; and Sept. 27,

2021.

Funds: The number of awards depends on

appropriations and the submission of a sufficient

number of quality applications. The maximum project

period is five years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities.

Areas: NIGMS said it aims to develop a diverse pool of

well-trained biomedical scientists who have the following

technical, operational and professional skills: a broad

understanding across biomedical disciplines and the

skills to independently acquire the knowledge needed

to advance their chosen fields; the ability to think

critically and independently, and to identify important

biomedical research questions and approaches that

push forward the boundaries of their areas of study;

a strong foundation in scientific reasoning, rigorous

research design, experimental methods, quantitative

and computational approaches, and data analysis and

interpretation; and a commitment to approaching and

conducting biomedical research responsibly, ethically

and with integrity, among other skills.

Non-Invasive Neurostimulation in AD/ADRD

(NIA/NIMH)

Scope: The National Institute on Aging and the National

Institute of Mental Health seek (R01) research project

grant applications for the Non-Invasive Neurostimulation

in AD/ADRD announcement to encourage applications

for studies using non-invasive neurostimulation/

neuromodulation in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

(AD) or Alzheimer’s disease–related dementias (ADRD).

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

application due date. Proposals are due Oct. 5, 2019;

Feb. 5, 2020; and June 5, 2020.

Funds: The number of awards depends on

number of quality applications. The maximum project

period is five years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; nonprofit

organizations; state, local, special district and Native

American tribal governments; and public housing

authorities; among others.

Areas: NIA/NIMH said topics of interest include but are

not limited to: studies to rigorously evaluate initial efficacy

of the intervention(s) multimodal or combination therapies

with other pharmacological or nonpharmacological

interventions, studies to refine intervention strategy and

studies to define and refine the target population.

Service Network Hub for Cryoelectron

Tomography (NIH)

Scope: The National Institutes of Health’s Office of

Strategic Coordination seeks (U24) resource-related

research project cooperative agreements applications for

the Service Network Hub for Cryoelectron Tomography

announcement to advance the application of cryoelectron

tomography (cryoET), a powerful new method for directly

visualizing macromolecular associations and organization

in native cells. This solicitation seeks to establish one

service center that will serve as the network’s central hub.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, Oct. 12, 2019; proposals,

Nov. 12, 2019.

Funds: $7.17 million for the first year.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; nonprofit

organizations; state, local, special district and Native

American tribal governments; and public housing

authorities; among others.

Areas: NIH said the hub will provide cryoET services to

two constituencies. First, it will serve user laboratories in

the community directly. Second, the hub will also provide

services to the four service centers that will be established

by the companion funding announcement. The hub will

provide the following services to the research community

directly: (a) collect high-resolution cryoET data for all

the user laboratories served by the network; (b) perform

standard cryoET sample preparation services for user

laboratories; (c) provide access for users to advanced

instrumentation for cryoET; and (d) provide cross-training

to user laboratories in specimen preparation methods,

instrumentation and cryoET data collection.

American tribal governments; and public housing

authorities; among others.

Areas: NIH said the centers established by this funding

announcement will provide specimen preparation

services for cryoET to the research community.
