Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)
Peer Reviewed Alzheimer's Research Program (PRARP) – 'Transforming Research Award'
This award supports independent investigators in conducting transformative studies to reduce the risk of or prevent Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), with a focus on high-impact outcomes.
Precision Mental Health: Develop Tools to Inform Treatment Selection in Depression (UG3/UH3)
The call seeks to aid in developing predictive tools or biomarkers for personalized depression treatment selection. It encourages diverse teams to address scientific, clinical, and commercialization needs, with a phased approach involving tool identification (UG3) and validation through clinical trials (UH3). The overarching aim is to create objective tools for treatment selection in clinical practice.
Research on The One-Health Perspectives in The Emergency Management Cycle
This call seeks to tackle food systems, One Health, and resilience challenges through interdisciplinary research and targeted initiatives. By addressing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, it aims to develop solutions for the pressing issues exacerbated by crises like the ongoing Iron Swords war.
This call is aimed at researchers in maternal fetal health and related fields. It supports translational discoveries focusing on preventing adverse maternal and child outcomes, addressing racial inequities, and improving cardiovascular health and maternal stress mitigation.
Priority Topic Areas for This Call:
- Late Spontaneous Pre-Term Birth.
- Racial Inequities as They Relate to Morbidity and Mortality Outcomes for Mothers and Babies.
- Cardiovascular Health Conditions Developed During Pregnancy or Exacerbated During Pregnancy.
- Maternal Stress, Its Impact on Pregnancy Outcomes, and How to Mitigate the Effects.
Ascending Investigators 2024 - 'Any Field Related to Brain Research'
The call aims to support researchers in advancing their careers through research that enhances understanding of the brain or improves prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of brain and nervous-system diseases. Projects should demonstrate potential impact on neuroscience and human health.
Budget: DKK 5 million (DKK 1 million more for substantial international collaboration with personnel exchange).
Duration: 4 years.
Important Note: Requires Danish PI as Lead Applicant.
