FDA request applications for Use of Digital Health Technologies in Clinical Investigations to Support Drug and Biological Product Development (U01) Clinical Trials Optional
The overarching goal of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to explore the role of Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) (e.g., actigraphy, photography, environmental sensors) in the evaluation of new drugs. These projects may involve engagement with researchers from academia, the biopharmaceutical industry, patient groups, and other stakeholders. The objectives of these projects are to advance DHTs for clinical drug development, expand the ability to capture early manifestations of chronic diseases, determine outcomes in populations with unmet medical needs and enhance convenience for trial participants by allowing for remote data acquisition in clinical investigations.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has two open opportunities focused on achieving health equity, both with rolling deadlines.
Evidence for Action: Innovative Research to Advance Racial Equity
This call for proposals focuses on studies about “upstream” causes of health inequities, such as the systems, structures, laws, policies, and practices that determine the distribution of resources and opportunities.

Sponsor Deadline: Thursday, May 16, 2024 | Description: The Equipment Grants Program (EGP) serves to increase access to shared-use special purpose equipment/instruments for fundamental and applied research for use in the food and agricultural sciences programs at institutions of higher education, including State Cooperative Extension Systems. The program seeks to strengthen the quality and expand the scope of fundamental and applied research at eligible institutions, by providing them with opportunities to acquire one shared-use piece of equipment/instrument that supports their research, research training, and extension goals and may be too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NIFA grant programs.
Limitation: two applications per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Wednesday, April 10, 2024
Sponsor Deadline: Friday, May 3, 2024 | | Description: The Catalyst Research Award Program provides up to $350,000 seed funding over one to two years, to support translational research that can be transferred to clinical practice in the near term. The award supports planning and development of projects, teams, tools, techniques, and management infrastructure necessary to lay the foundation for a subsequent two to three year $1M Transformational Award. Transformational projects must have achieved Catalyst milestones and aim to move a healthcare innovation toward the next step in commercial development.
Limitation: two applications per institution

Sponsor Deadline: Tuesday, June 18, 2024 | Description: E-scrap—which includes mobile phones, home appliances, medical or office equipment, and anything else powered by electricity—represents the fastest growing waste stream globally, with e-scrap generation expected to double between 2014 and 2030. The prize is open to competitors looking to: 1) Build partnerships across the recycling value chain to optimize and integrate critical material separation and recovery technologies; 2) Develop and demonstrate innovations along the recycling value chain to enhance the recovery of critical materials from e-scrap; 3) Select at least one challenge (technical, supply chain, or related logistics hurdle) that needs further development and establish high impact opportunities (co-recovery, feedstock flexibility, information share, material benchmarking…) that will increase the domestic supply of critical materials from e-scrap; 4) Create or enhance supply chains to increase material circularity (e.g., accelerating connectivity between collection, sorting, pre-treatment, processing, refining, validation, and material qualification)
Limitation: two applications per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Wednesday, July 31, 2024
Sponsor Deadline: Wednesday, September 4, 2024 | | Description: The NIH Director's Early Independence Award supports rigorous and promising investigators who wish to pursue independent research soon after completion of their terminal doctoral degree or post-graduate clinical training, thereby forgoing the traditional post-doctoral training period and accelerating their entry into an independent research career.
Eligibility: Early Career Investigators. See details in Section III of the RFA.
