New Opportunities
PhRMA Foundation Fellowships and Faculty Starter Grants: The PhRMA Foundation is now accepting letters of intent for their 2026 predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships and faculty starter grants in the areas of drug discovery, drug delivery, and translational medicine. Predocs receive $30,000 a year for two years, postdocs receive $60,000 a year for two years, and faculty receive $100,000 for one year. The letter of intent deadline is 12:00 p.m. (noon) ET on April 15, 2025.
Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional): "The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, sustainability, scale-up, and spread of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies (hereafter referred to as evidence-based interventions). Studies that promote equitable dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions among underrepresented communities are encouraged. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (de-implement) the use of practices that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. Applications that focus on re-implementation of evidence-based health services that may be disrupted amidst disasters (e.g., pandemics, climate change) remain relevant." Upcoming application due dates: June 5, 2025, October 5, 2025

- The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) T32: "The goal of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained clinician-scientist leaders available to address the nation’s biomedical research needs. Specifically, this funding announcement provides support to eligible, domestic organizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to dual-degree training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise and lead to the completion of both a clinical degree (for example, M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D., etc.) and a research doctorate degree (Ph.D.)." Upcoming due dates: January 25, 2025
- Improving Adherence to Treatment and Prevention Regimens and Maintenance of Health Behaviors to Promote Health: "This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) calls for research grant applications that address adherence to recommended treatment and prevention regimens or maintenance of behaviors to promote positive health outcomes (collectively referred to as health behaviors). Applications may address health behavior initiation, execution, and/or persistence through mechanistic studies, efficacy trials, or implementation research. Descriptive studies and intervention research may address relevant determinants at one or more levels of ecologic influence, including the individual, caregiver/family, provider, healthcare system, and community levels. Approaches designed to reduce health disparities and improve equitable health outcomes are strongly encouraged." This NOSI is issued by the NIH Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), with participation from multiple NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. See the NOSI for the specific interests of participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. This NOSI applies to due dates on or after 7/15/2024 and subsequent receipt dates through 7/14/2027.
- NIH Loan Repayment Programs: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRP) were established by Congress to recruit and retain health professionals in biomedical and behavioral research careers. The LRPs repay up to $50,000 annually of a researchers qualified educational debt "in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research." Research areas include clinical research, pediatric research, health disparities research, contraception and infertility research, clinical research for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and research in emerging areas critical to human health. More information is available on the LRP application page. The next LRP application period will be announced later in 2025.
